As a Canes recruitnik, I will always be a life long Mike James fan. For those who dont remember his recruiting journey, it went like this:
* Randy got a commitment from the #1 rated runningback in the country, Bryce Brown. The entire nation was crowning Bryce Brown.
* Randy then got a commitment from Mike James. I remember seeing an interview with him after commitment asking him about Bryce Brown. Mike James said that he was looking forward to competing with Bryce for playing time.
* Then when Lamar Miller got qualified, he commited to UM. Shortly after Bryce Brown started taking visits, running his mouth online, looking around, etc. eventually decommiting from UM.
* When Lamar Miller commited, Mike James said, "I look forward to competing with Lamar for playing time."
* Mike James stuck to his commitment, enrolled, worked his *** off both on and off the field and has found his place in this program without regard to Lamar Miller, Bryce Brown, Duke Johnson, Storm Johnson, et al.
