KC's recap:
"It was great. The highlight was just getting to hang out with the guys, see how they live outside of football. We had a lot of fun hanging out, playing Xbox, watching football - the practice was great. It's nice to see how coach (Al) Golden likes to conserve his players (with older ones sitting out), especially it being bowl season. All the young guys got a lot of experience in, got to throw each other around a little. It was fun to watch."
McDermott's host was Alex Gall. And he spent a lot of time with line coach Art Kehoe.
"[Kehoe] walked me back to my room after breakfast this morning," McDermott said. "We sat down and chatted before I left. He's an awesome guy. Not only is he a legendry offensive line coach, but he's a guy who really cares. "That's what sticks out - the Miami coaches, they care about you as a person, not just winning football games."
McDermott weighed in a couple of the uncommitted prospects: "Cory seemed like he was very interested in coming to Miami," he said. "Johnnie, he was really tired from his game, but just sitting around - me and Nick sat with him at lunch yesterday and just talked. It was forming brotherhood bond, letting him know that if you come here, you have friends here. You already started to form a family bond here, and if you're going to Alabama or Ohio State you won't know anyone there. You come down here, you get to go home to your family every weekend if you want to, spend time with your mom."
KC recapped the visit:
"First we got there, had lunch at the Rathskeller on campus which is an amazing place," he said. "The food was phenomenal. Then they walked us back over to the athletic center and we were talking, went downstairs for a presentation with the equipment manager. Then they took us in to the training room and I got to sit there and talk with the head trainer. He gave me a tour of the new athletic center, then I went upstairs to the academic part and met with the head athletic academic advisor. After that we went back to the hotel, hung out. Then we went out for dinner with the recruits, coaches, their wives, the parents, the hosts. It was 25 total people. It was awesome. The food was insane. Then I hung out with Alex Gall, went to my brother's house, hung out there, then went to a party at Stephen (Morris') apartment. Being a senior it was his last party in the apartment - it was all the guys, we just hung out, played some video games, watched some TV. We talked a lot about the season, how they thought they'd do.
"Saturday we watched practice, then got a four-hour break, took a nap, and then we bowled and had dinner with he coaches."
"Then we hung out some more, went to Beau (Sandland's)apartment and watched the Ohio State game. ... This morning I had breakfast with the coaches down by the pool - it was all the recruits and the families with the coaches. It was great."
* McDermott says before the team's Saturday practice that the recruits met with strength coach Andreu Swasey.
"He said you go to certain places and get hurt and they put the next guy in, you're dead weight," McDermott said. "But he said when you're here and you're hurt, we care about you. Not only do we want to get you back to where you were, we want you better. And he said `95 percent of the time when I talk to the kids it's not even about football, it's about how they're doing in their lives.'"
* KC's father, Randy (who was along on the visit as well), says that "what was really touching was way Dalvin and Trevor made sure they were wheeling Joe (Yearby, who suffered a broken ankle) around in his wheelchair, that one or the other was getting Joe where he needed to go. They were taking care of Joe, which was neat. Hopefully they'll stay together (for college)."
