Does No Sleep Equal Great Visit?
Oklahoma City (Okla.) Southeast DT Gerald McCoy is one tired recruit.
For the last few months, his phone has been ringing off the hook.
"It's coaches, reporters, you name it," Gerald says.
Add that to the fact that, on his Miami visit, he was so busy having fun that he only got a combined seven hours of sleep.
"That's seven hours over three days," he says. "Miami's a busy place. It was a good visit, exciting. I went out with the fellas, a bunch of different guys."
He says the highlight of his visit was going to South Beach.
"We just chilled, walked around there," McCoy said. "I was there in the day and went back during the night."
Miami was McCoy's final official visit – he's already visited Notre Dame, USC, Virginia Tech and LSU.
McCoy is waiting until Signing Day to announce a final decision.
He says despite the constant phone calls he's enjoying the recruiting process.
So he's not giving any hints.
McCoy says coach Larry Coker inquired as to how much of a chance UM has of landing him.
McCoy is asked his response.
"I prefer to keep that to myself," he says.
McCoy says he's still not quite sure where he'll wind up.
"In between the All-American game and Signing Day I'll come up with a decision," he says.
Ask him what main factors will help him decide and he says, "I don't know. It's hard. It's a tough decision. A lot of different schools offering the same thing, coming at me with different types of the same thing. It's going to decide the rest of my life."
McCoy took the UM visit with his parents.
It's the second visit they went on with him – the others he took by himself.
Gerald Sr. says of the Miami trip that "We enjoyed ourselves. It was great that time of year with the weather. When we left it was about 55 degrees -- when we got back home it was 25 degrees, a windchill of minus-2. We didn't realize it was a vacation until we got home."
Gerald says his parents will have some say in his final decision.
"About 30 percent," he says. "I'm the other 70 percent."
