That's a dope story.There is a sh*t ton.
Antrel Rolle, Sean Taylor (Half bahamian Half Jamaican), Santana-Sinorice Moss, Glenn Sharpe, Phillip Dorsett, Ethenic Sands, Frank Gore, Vernon Carey, Tyrone Moss, Rashad Butler, Brian Munroe, Eric Moncur, Kayne Farquarson, Thurston Armbrister, Trevor Darling, Danny Isadora, Robert Knowles, Pat Bethel
In the 90's we had alot as well. I just listed alot from the 2000's on.
Remember going to a game in the OB when i was in high school with my old man and ended up sitting next to an older lady who heard me and my dad speaking as we sat next to her..she heard my old mans Bahamian accent and stated she was Bahamian and her grandson plays for um. After the game she introduced us to her grandson a freshman named Frank Gore.
We just dont get mentioned much as people dont realize who is actually Bahamian...unlike Jamaicans or Haitians are accent isnt that strong and we assimilate. UM also have had some good Haitian and Jamaican ballers too. RIP the homie Bryan PataThat's a dope story.
And that's a LOT of Bahamian talent. Yeesh.

If the NFL even half heartedly donate or pushed equipment/infrastructure to the Bahamas there would be a flood of talent from their similar to Samoa. Alot of the kids already know the game and are physically talented already raw.
There are like 2-3 guys that go to the Bahamas an mine for talent (1 is known on this board) and ill guess routinely it ends up producing 2-3 div 1 prospects that they get here if they can have them play atleast 2 years of high school ball.
A few of them i know the family direct. Phillip Dorsett/Danny Isadora /Santana Moss/Elijah Roberts (he's jamaican as well)/Ethenic SandsJust out of interest, how do you 100% they are Bahamian? Is it through personal connections?
What about other Bahamians at other CFB programs? Any notable names?
Im not sure he's related to my high school teammate who also made it to the nfl but my teammate wasnt BahamianNFL gon NFL.
Is Patrick Peterson Bahamian?

Lemme spread it to West Indian thenBahamian. Yard man are Jamaicans.
Through the years we have had a high population of Bahamian americans on the team. Currently on the team we have Gilbert Frierson who is from(Coconut Grove the equivalent to Lil Haiti for Haitians and Lil Havana for Cubans for Bahamians) and Elijah Roberts.
Every time I see Rolle, Adderley, Sands, Bain, Moss …etc I assume they’re Bahamian — and I’m usually right.We just dont get mentioned much as people dont realize who is actually Bahamian...unlike Jamaicans or Haitians are accent isnt that strong and we assimilate.

Frank Rutherford, 1992 Bronze medalist in the triple jump for the Bahamas, has brought Bahamian kids to the US to finish high school in the US to get more experience and access to college coaches. The Darling twins who went to FSU were his cousins (Their brother Dennis ran for TCU/Bahamas).
