Saw this on Reddit and thought it was just too motivating not to share:

Florida Football: Nussmeier plus McElwain is darn near cheating

Florida Gators: Randy Shannon leap of faith kept C.J. McWilliams at UF | Gator Bytes

Great quote from the second article:

“After my third season of high school, I wasn’t getting interest from any schools,” said McWilliams, a 3-star cornerback from Miami. “Coaches don’t really come by my high school (Southwest). Finally a big college noticed me and saw what I was capable of doing, so it was a dream come true.”

On May 1 of last year during spring football, McWilliams was called out of class a couple hours before his practice.

“I came down to the office and standing there was Randy Shannon,” said McWilliams, who only had one offer (Florida Atlantic) at the time.

I couldn’t even get all the way through the first article, without starting to feel nauseous. If I’m ever desperate for a job, I’m becoming a sports writer. Clearly, actual knowledge of what you are writing about is not a requirement.

Is McWilliams the biggest Randy Special ever? Or Rayshad? Or Lacedrick?
There are a couple of dozen. But stars dont matter, ya know.

Every coach we hire (since Creyer) is the three star whisperer, so stars dont matter.

Ancrum? Desir-Jones? Putu? Trask? Kalif Jackson? Bennett? Keivonnis Davis? Camrin Knight? Stiner? Lenton? Jake Allen?

After McWilliams fixed Shannon's flat tire, coach was on his way back to Gainesville.
