**** Aziz this is just a great, great interview. Good job
Perhaps the biggest question surrounding Miami recruiting over the past three years has been the cloud of the NCAA investigation. The Kaaya family was put to ease about the situation early on in his recruitment with Miami due to one Alfred James Golden.
“He didn’t create this mess, but he’s getting Miami out of the mess and he didn’t have to. He didn’t have to stay. I’m sure a lot of people don’t even realize that all of this stuff didn’t happen under Coach Golden’s watch. My hat is off to this guy because he’s taking it for the team. He’s getting us through it. Before they went into the meeting with the NCAA, I wrote him a letter saying that the Kaaya’s stood with him. We’re all going to get through this together. No matter if we get five scholarships or 20 scholarships, let’s go, let’s do this. He’s a man of honor and a lot of people wouldn’t put themselves in this position. He could go somewhere else and coach and work himself up to a great job. He looked in our eyes and told us that we would get through it and we signed up. We honor it because we signed up for this. He asked us to ride with him when he offered Brad. When Brad committed, in essence we said, ‘we’re riding’.”

“Bradley is a student of a game and his football IQ is ridiculous. When he was like 7, they gave him a playbook and it had like a hundred plays in it and they came back on Monday and the coach said ‘alright now let’s talk about the plays’ and he said, ‘which one, I learned them all.’ This kid knew every one of them. Bradley is an ‘A’ student; I taught him how to read when he was three. I did the Mozart and all this stuff to connect the highways in his brain to build his capacity. I nursed him for 9 months, all his food was just fresh and I pureed everything. He’s been bred for this. As soon as he touched a football, it was a wrap. I put him in everything. He was in swimming and I even had him in ballet. I tried everything and he was good at everything. I took him to piano when he was three and kept calling the teacher to please see him and she said she wouldn’t because they didn’t take three-year-olds. Then 15 minutes after meeting him, she was like ‘alright, he’s undeniable’.”
Every night before he goes to bed, I massage his hamstrings with evaporated milk
