As Miami prepares to play Indiana for the national championship, a decade-old photo has turned into one of the week's best full-circle moments, and former Hurricanes coach Mark Richt explained the story behind it.
The image, shared widely across social media, shows Richt at a South Florida park in 2016 with a much younger Malachi Toney standing nearby.
"People wanted to make sure it was actually Malachi, and it is, in fact, Malachi Toney in that photo," Richt told David Pollack on Pollack's "See Ball, Get Ball" show.
The photo was during a broader outreach effort he carried from Georgia to Miami, aimed at meeting kids where they were and removing barriers that kept them from ever getting to campus.
