Vaughn Telemaque ready to get busy…

Some good ink from Shandel Richardson regarding safety Vaughn Telemaque in Thursday’s Sun Sentinel.

Standard fare regarding an up and coming safety; the Ed Reed and Sean Taylor comparisons. New young player wants to be the best he can be. Injured last year and ready to go this season. Wants to step up and be a team leader. Nothing we haven’t heard before.

Richardson did turn up one small tidbit I’ve never come across on the message boards, though. Seems the California-bred Telemaque was set to sign with Southern Cal out of high school, until Miami got in the game late. Randy Shannon trekked west for an in-home and in need of a haircut, Mama Telemaque (Veronica) edged the head coach up in their basement.

“That was the highlight of him coming out,” Telemaque said. “I’m like, this could be my head coach and he’s letting my mom cut his hair. There are barber shops all around here, and he let her do it. So I thought that was really cool.”

Never underestimate the art of recruiting, right?
