Being from Florida, I have followed closely what is going on there. The current Florida coach comes from a long list of coaches who moved on from a particular HS to coaching at UF. My good friend from way back is now the director of T&F at FSU,Bob Braman. I'm sure Bob would have loved to have gotten Sani there. Bob and I were both XC coaches at different schools in Florida at the same time, he at USF and I at UCF. Sani will do great things at UF. I also have some history with the Florida track club at UF as my Junior HS coach, and running mentor, went on to the UF and got is MA in P.E. and ran with Frank Shorter and company. He was also Bob Braman's mentor too.
