4-Star DB Eric Cuffee Opens Up on Summer Visit Plans, Is 'In No Rush' to Decide

DALLAS — For some recruits, balancing 31 offers can be stressful. For Waco, Texas, defensive back Eric Cuffee, stress is simply something you allow to happen.

And he's not allowing it.

Following a Quick Twitch skills training session Sunday, Cuffee called his recruiting process "slow motion" and said he's in no rush to make a decision or even trim his list down to 10 or 12 schools. The 4-star cornerback—who, at 5'11.5" and 188 pounds, also can play safety—said he's enjoying the overall process, adding new offers and speaking with new coaches each day.

"Right now, I'm just at a chill point and looking at every college and taking it easy," Cuffee said. "At this point, no school sticks out. I see them all the same."

Although Cuffee doesn't have a favorite, he did mention a couple of potential summer visits in the works. Cuffee has several SEC offers, and he said he is considering a trip through the Southeast.

"I'm going to go down to Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Auburn, schools like that," he said.

Cuffee, who has earned an invitation to The Opening this summer and the Under Armour All-America Game in January, has SEC offers from Alabama, Arkansas, Missouri and Vanderbilt, in addition to Ole Miss, Auburn and Mississippi State. Auburn is Cuffee's latest offer.

And then there are the schools closer to home. Cuffee has Big 12 offers from Baylor, Texas, TCU, Oklahoma and others. Cuffee visited Texas twice in April, and with him living in Waco, Baylor is a simple drive down the street.

Back in February, Cuffee named TCU as a leader in the process, and while he still likes the Horned Frogs, he's now keeping all options open. One in-state school to keep an eye on is Texas A&M. While the Aggies haven't offered, Cuffee said there's a chance they could get a summer visit, as well.

For now, the idea of making recruiting a major priority is taking a back seat. Cuffee said he is thinking about announcing a top 10 during The Opening.

But if that doesn't happen, don't be surprised. He's keeping the speed of his process on cruise control.

"I'm just looking for a great coaching staff, that family-type tradition and a good system," he said. "But I'm in no rush."
