really enjoyed this expansive 2-part sit down with Jacory Harris. I can't lie, like many other fans, I had a very conflicted view of him. I thought he was turnover prone and careless -- in addition to being productive and having some great moments, but hearing his perspective in part I, it altered my view of Harris. Yeah, he was a victim of our staff/administration to a large degree at Miami. Jacory put his body on the line for the U, and he still loves being a Miami Hurricane. That's great to hear.
But part II, he just blew me away, when he started talking about stuff outside of football, how young athletes need to learn a trade, invest money, not be so tied up in your personal value in athletics. Seriously, it's an incredible message, one that should be heard and spread. He's become an impressive individual. I know he's doing great things serving the community as a fire fighter, but I also hope he gets into coaching or mentorship, of some role down the line.
