RIP. He grew up in Wausau, WI and was friends with my wife’s grandpa.
I always wondered what the connection was back in the day when the Canes would get these players like Jim Otto from way outside Florida
There weren't all the recruiting services and what-not back then.
More often that it seemed like there was some tie between high school coach and someone at Miami
If you look at a pre-1960 roster of UM football players, the vast majority came from out-of-state.
I have no idea how recruiting worked back then and how virtually the entire squad came from Pennsylvania, the northeast and the upper midwest.
Alot of UM HCs back in the day were from up North, hence alot of connections.I always wondered what the connection was back in the day when the Canes would get these players like Jim Otto from way outside Florida
