As for that story Garcia can't help but chuckle about each time he tells it, it happened prior to Sherit's senior season at Hillsborough, a tradition-rich program and the oldest public high school in Tampa. Sherit already had scholarship offers from more than 25 programs, including two of the big three in the Sunshine State. However, the Gators weren't impressed.

Something seemed out of whack to Garcia, who recognized Sherit as a future star as soon as he joined current Los Angeles Chargers linebacker Nigel Harris and former Alabama triple-jumper Jeremiah Green as a dominant trio for Hillsborough's junior-varsity team.

"We moved him up. We loved his motor and he had a great frame," Garcia said. "He was aggressive and, heck, also a straight-A student."

Searching for answers, Garcia called Muschamp to ask why Florida wasn't interested in Sherit, who led Hillsborough in tackles and sacks his junior season. He wanted to make sure the Gators had updated film of Sherit.

Turns out, the game film the Gators had scouted was during Sherit's sophomore season on offense, prior to a growth spurt and production boost as a defensive lineman in his junior season. Garcia's phone call quickly paid dividends.

Muschamp called Garcia back 10 minutes after they hung up to inform him the Gators were offering Sherit a scholarship.

"Every time I see Muschamp he messes with me about that,'' Garcia said.

Just another example of how much of a dumb fûck Chump and his crew were. Makes me sick to my stomach that such a failure could land any gig while the rest of us are busting our ass.

So we kept Chump's recruiting coordinator bc he is the best in the business, huh? And we refuse to add staff to help watch the film of all these tens of thousands of high school kids?

Mushcamp scouting report:

#42 routinely finds himself out of position, shies away from contact, has poor angle skills, and appears to take plays off. Also can't be more than 70lbs. We'll pass.
