UM’s Paradise Camp inspires the greats — former and current

Mark Richt’s weekend began with a bunch of ninth- and 10th-grade recruits on Friday at a University of Miami football camp. It continued Friday night with the coach’s now trademark back flip off a 10-meter diving board.

And it concluded Saturday night with “paradise’’ for more than 200 of the best 11th- and 12th-grade high school players in the nation.

Paradise Camp, which Richt created last year as an enticing draw for teenage recruits intent on being taught by UM legends, once again inspired and thrilled — on this night, however, at the campus’ intramural fields as construction on the indoor practice facility is taking place at Greentree Field.
