Dick Harmon: Sitake does Harlem shuffle, following in LaVell's footsteps with new foundation work

The Harlem Jets got another dose of BYU football.

This past week Kalani Sitake tapped into one of LaVell Edwards' contacts when the late football coaching legend served an LDS Church mission with his wife Patti in New York City after his retirement in 2000.

Sitake, under the banner of his charity, the More to Life Foundation, took a party of more than 50 players, coaches and wives to New York City. They left on a redeye flight last Wednesday and returned on Sunday. In between, they put on clinics, staged youth football drills in Harlem and spoke to several assemblies at schools in Brooklyn.
