Familiarity with Sunshine State will help keep forecast sunny for Husker recruiting in Florida

There are certain myths Travis Fisher wants to debunk about recruiting football players in the state of Florida.

Fisher, Nebraska’s new defensive backs coach, speaks as an authority on the subject as a native Floridian who starred at UCF from 1999-2001 and spent the last three years as an assistant with the Orlando team.
