Teddy would have been program changing. An African American qb from the Miami area staying at home would have been huge. Everyone else is speculation such as Cook, Valentine, JC Jackson (they haven't done a **** thing).
Uh, didn't we already have that? and it wasn't so huge.
In fact, we had African-American QBs at UM from Miami going back to the early '70's. I can't remember Kary Baker whom I think went to HS at Edison or somewhere else. We had some other black QBs in the '70's, I think. I don't know if they were from Miami. Then we had Greg Jones from Edison back about '86. Ended up transferring to WVU. Reportedly, he had one of the strongest arms ever at UM.
The fact is, we haven't had an outstanding black QB at UM, ever, as best as I can remember. Kenny Kelly came in as highly-touted, and he was essentially beaten out by Ken Dorsey. The closest we had to an outstanding black QB was Jacory and most would not consider him outstanding.
If I'm wrong about the history, please tell me.
Bridgewater could have been our first.
