Former five-star recruit Cormani McClain, the nation's No. 1-ranked cornerback in the Class of 2023, reveals his Florida commitment with a dedication to his mother, Tikisha White.
I like Cormani but one of his biggest mistake was standing up Miami and went to Colorado but he can learn from that the grass isn't always greener on the other side and your word is a strong representation of who you are.
There's an interesting angle to this debut video portraying Cormani as a fresh-faced college recruit. While the hype surrounding him is undeniable, his time at CU painted a different picture. Teammates and media alike found the reality didn't match the expectations. Practice on-field struggles coincided with off-field issues, leaving a sour taste in mouths of Buff fans. This video could be part of a reputation reset, and it might resonate with Florida fans. But CU fans, who invested in the Cormani brand, are likely to remain skeptical. Let's revisit this story in December and see if he can live up to the hype, both on and off the field.
...but he left you for Miami... 😂 Then went to Colorado...hmmm spun the block and now back.. 😂 He really didn't want you! Settled because of that good NIL.....laughable.... committed to the cash! Moral: you don't have to lift someone up by kicking someone else's program down! Wishing the best for him! Go be great!
He only had one option and that was to go home. He about to get cooked in the SEC. He made one play in the pac 12 and was cooked all rhe other times he was on the field thrown at. What should make me think he is going to be better in a tougher conference. Here’s to wishful thinking
5⭐'s are a bust every day B. The tape don't lie, the kid is trash but has all the physical tools that you look for in a player expect heart. This new generation soft. On to the next, nothing to see here.
Talk is cheap. I don’t believe he is going to work hard enough to be great. Game 1 is coming. The media is going to bury him in the SEC if he can’t cover D1 talent
@@Travis-wi2kd He probably should listen to critics, professional or not. I'm from Oakland. Much older. We heard all the noise. Got drafted in BB and had a nice career. My work ethic kept the negative noise to zero.
@@londonps6751 PREFERRED WALK-ON OFFER A preferred walk-on offer promises you a roster spot, but you won’t receive any athletic aid. What is a preferred walk on? Being a preferred walk-on is the highest status a recruit can get outside of receiving an athletic scholarship. No athletic aid is offered, but preferred walk-ons will go into college with a roster spot secured, receive a uniform and have a strong chance of competing for playing time their first year. Can preferred walk-ons earn a scholarship? Yes, scholarships can be earned going into a second season, but nothing is guaranteed. They are, however, typically first in line when scholarship dollars free up. Some student-athletes will turn down scholarship offers at smaller schools to play for a bigger program as a preferred walk-on. But keep in mind, even preferred walk-ons can get cut during try-outs or team camp if they aren’t meeting coach expectations.
This commitment video was well done. First example of going to a real and great program. Cu never did meaningful vids like this to introduce players. High quality and professional, not the coach's son with a wobbly iPhone.
Huh? A players presence and talent introduces them no a video. Everything at Colorado goes viral. People, places and things. Not sure of your logic with this comment.
Come on now really... Great video so why the hate? CU is doing it so big that the NCAA changed the rules about pictures and videos that can be taken at unofficial player visits. Cormani is Florida's problem/player now. CU has moved on, Cormani has moved on no need to compare.
Good luck with your new journey stay humble and God will continue to guide and Bless your 👣
Glad to have you in Gainesville cormani time Lock in and be great and overcome the adversity and critics go gators
Never put the words “Cormani” & “Commitment” in the same sentence 😂

Who wants to be the D1 athlete? Cormani or his momma?
Hey Coach somebody’s not telling the truth from what you are saying🤔🤔🤔

You need integrity bro!! You was with the best DB coach IN the world.
Shut up
Take your ass to class and study and watch film..this is your second chance God have given you...don't screw it up...👀
Best wishes, Cormani!
Yall realize this was his Florida commitment video from 2022?? How big was that Miami bag if he had already made this video
I know they glad they didn’t give him that bag last year!!
@@FunkyBroadway he didn’t even want to go there, he reached out to Florida and Bama before signing day but ended up at Colorado
He should have been here all along now quit waisting time and hit that weight room lol
He is tooooo small. Our WRs are going to have a field day with him. 😌
Welcome Home My Boy 🧡💙
Who’s clicking now? This is a wait and see situation. I hope he’s about business and improving.
Wonder what position his mother will play? I hope she lets him man up for the love of God. Be great Cormani.
Happy for this kid. Fresh start Go get what God planned for you. Forget the past.
As a Colorado fan, I second this! Go be great young man!!
@@erickaransom236 lol u ain’t CU fan. You are a Deion groupie. I bet u swapped out your Jackson State gear for CU. 🫵🏻😀😆😂🤣🤡🤡🤡
Looks likes he’s doing it for the clicks

Blame that on Coach Crime.
@@Steve-mx2ipspoken like a true loser.
@@Steve-mx2ip I didn't know that CP locked him in that bathroom he was hiding...
On a real team with a real coach!

Cormani needs a father figure to help him grow up!
@@FunkyBroadwayhe had one in Coach Prime. But guess him and his mother know best 🤷🏿♂️
@@VariationMachine Facts!!
Destiny…Thorpe Award.
Go get it !
Gonna be a lockdown top 10 draft pick
Mom's got his hair like a spoiled lil girl...LMAO!!!
Welcome to the Swap !!
🗣️Cormani!
I have yet to see a single video of this young man breaking a sweat at workout. It's mindblowing how people can still be impressed with him.
🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊
Look like clicks to me… but on another note go be great 💪🏾
His problem was getting coddled by his mother and she was living with him in colorado lol
So he will actually go to practice now???😅
After he smoke that blunt!
Dude sounds re**rded
Hope he doesn’t hide out in the bathroom during practice like he did at CU. Boy soft as pudding.
I wonder how long he is contracted to his agent, did he really need an agent?
He only had one option and that was to go home. He about to get cooked in the SEC. He made one play in the pac 12 and was cooked all rhe other times he was on the field thrown at. What should make me think he is going to be better in a tougher conference. Here’s to wishful thinking
Joe haden got cooked his first year too and how did that turn out?
Joe who is how it turned out nobody is talking about that dude anymore
He made another video? Mf doing too much
Let me wear this miami u headBand in my intent video, to the gators..

Let's shower this dude with more attention....🙄

Well, mom has got a few weeks to round-up the $19k needed for the first semester.
@carlelie3154 Doesn’t cover tuition, though, does it?
They already got the money lol. In the era of free agency college that’s already covered and then some

He's not even on scholarship at Florida, technically a walk on but he's doing just fine on money.

Huh?
A players presence and talent introduces them no a video. Everything at Colorado goes viral. People, places and things. Not sure of your logic with this comment.
Gilli and wallo hello!
@@KBR641 Gilli and wallo are not apart of colorado university. I'm aware that Cormani chose that podcast to make his announcement.
Come on now really... Great video so why the hate? CU is doing it so big that the NCAA changed the rules about pictures and videos that can be taken at unofficial player visits. Cormani is Florida's problem/player now. CU has moved on, Cormani has moved on no need to compare.
Is this kid good
