I’m a Miami fan so I e tracked his recruiting. McClain is worth the risk if you need help at CB and the culture is strong enough to show him the door if rumors are confirmed.
It’s amazing how all these Cormani glazers are blaming Coach Prime for Cormani’s lack of professionalism. What about his high school coach who talked about the work he had to put in just so this kid could see the field.

CONGRATULATIONS TO CORMANI WE WISH THIS YOUNG MAN NOTHING BUT SUCCESS 💯
Carmani is in control of his own future and I wish him the best!! I would love see him play on Sunday some day!
Cormani is not expected to be a starter this year, 1st of all he needs to add a little bulk and prove hes willing to put in the work before he sees the field and with the players the Gators already have hes not a necessity. Billy is giving him a second chance, but i believe the leash will be very short, no screw ups
God got the last say so Money Man in the swamp 🐊🔥
Good luck Cormani. I wish you would have gotten it together at CU but this is your second chance at it. Your back home so you should turn all the way up!

That's his problem, turning all the way up off but not in the classroom nor the practice field.
Congratulations
He’s lucky as far as being able to go to a school and program like Florida. Other players from CU that transferred who are consider to have more experience and appeared to have a higher upside haven’t gone to this caliber of a school. The only player that might be close is Omarion Cooper and he returned to FSU. Florida hasn’t been that good in the last 3 or 4 years but the respect that comes to the Gator name in college football history far surpasses a Colorado program and many others. Walk on or not he’s lucky to even get that opportunity. To also note and to have to report that he’s committed as a preferred walk-on screams a lot. He and his family can try and front like his behaviors weren’t the problem but having to commit as a walk on debunks all the back lash they tried to throw at Coach Prime. We know this media outlet and others won’t retract what they said negatively about Coach Prime after this type of commitment.

@@Saph_Adams , honestly, in my humble opinion, it's sort of easy to forget about Dylan Edwards. Cormani is very lucky to get a shot, allbeit, as a walk on at Florida. This kid made his own bed, so he has to sleep in it now. I suspect that if he still continues with that same attitude, he had at Colorado he won't get a chance to see the field at Florida and will end up bagging groceries at a local Publix like so many other guys before him who had immense talent but had the same bad attitude and lack of work ethics that Cormani has. Hope the kid does get it right.

@@swagcityy123454321 I agree Florida hasn’t been good but Florida gets more praise then a lot of schools despite how good or bad they’ve been. My point has nothing to do with if Florida is currently good or not. CU ain’t good right now either when it comes to their current record and previous years. But as far as a brand when it comes to institutions Florida has a bigger appeal compared a number of other Universities.

Well, I, I’ve been watching this situation play out. I think CP already said he hopes Cormani finds this. A coach, and team that can develop him. I truly hoped that CP could really get this kid together. Apparently CU was just not a good fit for him. Nothing wrong that. Hopefully Florida can do the job. IMO
He did nothing illegal. is that how you all deal with your own 18yr old kids, one mistake and you're done?
He has 3 yrs to get on the correct path.
Dude hating on 19 yr old kid - kind of sad- Prime has turned his back on how many kids at this point ?? How many kids have left the Colorado program / how many has Prime developed ?? His Boys ? Travis Hunter would excel anywhere- Lets keep receipts when Prime leaves Colorado at the end of the season

Die hard gators fan here . Not sure this is a good move . Coming home is often worse for troubled players . Back to running around with old acquaintances often ends bad . Hope he turns it around for his future first and foremost . The young man is supremely talented and has all the tools to be a star . Sure would be a shame to see him throw away such a promising career. Kid puts on some muscle and keeps his act clean he could still make it to the league . Good luck young man . Go Gators . GIVE NAPE 2 MORE SEASONS AND MAKE THE DECISION.

Very low risk. He surely got a speech that said come in, work hard and make millions in the NFL after a good career at UF….or come in and screw around and you may not ever get another shot from any decent school. Plus, Billy being on the hot seat..,he needs talent NOW. If Cormani and his Mom are a distraction…tell him to hit the road. HUGE potential upside.

Nobody think its awkward that Colorado deion n staff is the reason ppl think cormani was a bad kid that didn't work hard? Its players who got arrested and had problems that their coach kept quiet. He didnt get in trouble. Ever. He was a freshman. It remind me of chip kelly smearing drsean Jackson when he left the eagles. The narrative on cormani comes from deion sayin it. And thats unprofessional. Not father figure teach kids how to be men at all. Factor in Colorado usin his name to get a nil deal without him knowin n used tge money to get team needs.
Prime has ruined all of these sports analysts minds!!! Everyone is negative just because prime said it. Deion sanders done same thing to players at jsu!!! If you're not sheduer or travis then you are nothing to him!!
One's character defects just don't go away overnight!! Hell, I've been working on mine for fifty years now!!
Worst thing to do is to return Home friends who aren’t enrolled are partying and school and classes 1st football 2nd
Dude doesn't watch flim, has bad foot work, wasted a year of body development, bad tackler. Sometimes people around these players want it more than the actual player. Truck driving is a good career.
Florida won't give him the boot if he acts up because there were too many people telling them not to sign him. They are going to bury any drama dealing with him and when the season's over he will enter the portal as if it was his decision. Btw, Cormani is no longer a 5-star.

CORMANI MCCLAIN WENT FROM A 5-STAR RANKING #2 TO A 4-STAR RANKING #46 IN THE ON3 RANKINGS.
His YT channel and social media seem like 🚩, if you choose to read in to that. He may have been a 5* in HS but if he couldn’t start at Colorado with that mid level talent of a team, you have to question the people- sites who rated him that high.
They want Cormani on the field immediately to invalidate Coach Prime's decision making about him. And Cormani will be held up as the one who got away. I think what people will have to battle with is giving Prime credit to his decision making. If Cormani doesn't work out then Prime was right as a coach. If Cormani does well this its a recruiting talking point to pull recruits away from Colorado bc of Coach Prime's allure.

Florida fans have zero interest in seeing him play any time soon. Florida has its secondary, and Cormani is a developmental project and depth piece. I would be happy with him not seeing the field until he earns his scholarship in year 2.
this is meaningless. he's a PWO, not a schollie. He's gotta earn a spot. This shows how short sided this kid is. He could get a full ride with a G5 right now.
Congratulations, put that clown show behind you and get on your grind.
Michael jordan ks the greatest. That dont mean he can coach basketball players. Deion being great doesnt mean he knows how to coach. Stop the if deion couldnt get to him bs. Deion brags about how great travis is so much that we all see travis as the best college player and he had avg stats on both sides playing double the snaps as the whole ncaa. Travis gave up 3 tds and 200 yards vs stanford. Thats more than cormani gave up all year. By far. So are we believing what deion say. Or what deion shows. Because i see a 4 and 26 team that waves their watch when they score a td down by 14. I see a team that makes well off media videos everyday showing designer sneakers, and gold necklaces, chaines, watches, maybachs and talkin about being wealthy. What if some players dont wanna be on well off media everyday especially while losing saying. Ohhhh the louie sneakers. Ouuuuuu. 😂😂😂😂 deion is the flyest coolest dude. I think he commited the biggest robbery in history. When he got the job at colorado he was on video saying to his family and colleagues (do you believe this. I cant believe this. )) as if he didnt think he deserved it. I aint mad. I still want deion to win regardless. But call a spade a club and ill say blackjack then connect 4
The “Deion factor” how about the “Cormani factor” look all the buzz this kid is causing. Good and bad news is all good publicity.
2 months and off the team. He still have to bring Cormani to the gators with him. The problems is what destroys,especially black athletes, family start counting money you don't have yet. He is going to get kicked off of this team before the season starts. No discipline!😮
Y’all are hard to listen to I’m sorry
Redshirt.. take this year to just show up to class and change the narrative cu put on u.. stay low key bolk up like 10 pounds and then come out in 2025 and ball..
