Cam Newton didn’t go to a HBCU, yet in his latest video, he suggested a very decent viewpoint for possibilities to check them out.
The 2010 Heisman Prize champ as of late addressed a gathering of secondary school possibilities about the real factors of enrolling and school football. What’s more, he let it all out.
“You think (Georgia head football trainer) Kirby Brilliant requirements you? You think (Alabama lead trainer) Scratch Saban needs you? Newton asked logically. “You moronic. You going to Tennessee? Half you all going to schools that don’t offer you.”
Newton then, at that point, turned to a point that HBCU mentors have been telling possibilities for quite a long time.
“Assuming that you’re great, it don’t make any difference where you go, they will track down you. I guarantee you that. A ton of you want to go to the Alabamas the North Carolinas, the North Carolina States. You all going to show up for a long time and not have a significant game.”
Oof.
“However, goodness, yet I got a catch. It was senior day,” Newton said jokingly. “It was an inclination — unwind.”
Brother, you better head off to some place where you put yourself first. Since when you play for that G, and you play for that A, when you play for that T, when you play for that AU — brother they are putting themselves first. They are impenetrable.
Obviously, Cam Newton never went to a HBCU himself. He began at the College of Florida, spent a year at Blinn School prior to covering off his school profession with a public title in his solitary year at Reddish. However, his family has a broad HBCU foundation. His dad, Cecil Sr., played at Savannah State. His more established sibling, CJ, played at Tennessee State. Newton’s child sibling, Caylin, began his vocation at Howard prior to moving to Reddish-brown and, ultimately, William and Mary.
Maybe Caylin’s involvement with Reddish-brown was to Newton while conversing with the possibilities. Going from a universe of playing time at a HBCU to practically none at Reddish-brown was a significant improvement. One way or another, Newton’s message of picking the best situation for the singular players was one that HBCUs ought to hope to underwrite off of.
