Just curious to anyone who has seen him
how good is McGahees nephew? Jared McGahee from MNW miami caliber? Will he be getting an offer
Just curious, somewhere in the annals of Miami sports history, especially segregated football history, there was, I believe, another Willis McGahee. Just like there was a Traz Powell.
Does anybody know the story of the elder McGahee?
I'm guessing Willis had a father or uncle who was a star in the segregated schools back in the day--perhaps the 50's, perhaps even earlier.
There was a time when the black schools produced some awesome talent, but it often had nowhere to go. Some went to FAMU, some went to integrated schools up north (like Cyril Pinder from Hollywood Attucks), some disappeared, in part because of lack of opportunity.
I wonder if anybody has done a history of south Florida HS football which includes the black high schools before integration. (Obviously, there are a number of schools which are de facto segregated, because almost no white students attend).
I'll never forget how Larry Little turned up an All-Pro in the '70's, but nobody had heard about him when he played HS ball in the early '60's, except people at the black schools. I knew the names of a lot of the All-City players in the early '60's, but never heard about Larry Little, who turned out better than all of them.
