Today, reports had been swirling around social media that 2014 Miami OL commit, Kc McDermott, was not going to be able to enroll early. I spoke with the Palm Beach Central star to clear some things up.
I simply asked the 6-foot-7 300-pounder if he had decided against enrolling early.
"I have no idea where you heard that." McDermott said as he clearly brushed those rumors aside.
Obviously, this is great news for the 'Canes coaching staff. McDermott has a chance to get some playing time very early in his career. Getting him on campus, in the weight room and learning the play book right away will be huge.
Kc although, still has his senior season to attend to. McDermott and the Palm Beach Central Broncos have some big goals this year. They started practice yesterday as did every other high school team in Florida.
"(The first days) of practice have been great. Nice Florida weather, real nice and hot. We are working hard. I expect us to win another district championship. I just want to improve my game and get better every single day of practice. I will never give up." said McDermott.
McDermott is real fond of the 'Canes recruiting success during the summer as they have garnered 18 commits for the 2014 class since June 1.
"It has just been one h*ll of a run. We have the best recruiting class in the nation. That is because kids are wanting to stay home at The "U". said McDermott
For the 2014 class, McDermott was one of the earliest to pledge to Al Golden and company. Some would feel the pressure to take over an ambassador role. But Kc knows that the kids make the decision on their own.
"One kid can't make every kid's decision for him. These kids come (to Miami) because they believe in Coach Golden. They believed in the philosophy, the program and the school. I can't say I'm the reason why a lot of kids are choosing Miami. I chose Miami because it is the place for me." said McDermott.
**McDermott received his official written scholarship offer from Miami today in the mail.
**McDermott plans to be at every 'Canes home game.
