I was at the Dreadnaught final regular season game last night with a lifelong friend who is one of the programs informed boosters. It was Senior night and McClain was introduced with his mom and sister by his side, no father figure announced. My friend shows me a social media post where Cormani was commenting right after he committed to the U. Two things stood out to my friend and he shared them with me. One poster asked "why the U and not UF" CM response was "I got 5M$$$ reasons man" the second was a selfie he posted of his mom, sis and him and he had on one of those giant diamond studded gold chains that probably sold for $25K. So, it is what it is and if money is the driving force we won't get em.
Now during the game I saw something else. Castle put CM in man coverage on the other teams top wideout, a 6'4 200# plus lightning bolt. CM lined up in his face the entire game regardless of down or distance. Blanket coverage as good as I have ever witnessed in HS football. Brilliant ball skills. The receiver ended the night with one 19 yd catch late when the game was out of reach. I haven't seen a single Gator corner play even one play as aggressively as this kid played the entire game so I wonder if the scheme he saw on his visits made taking the cash a little easier for him? Our book is closed on McClain, he is as good as advertised.
