C.I. aka Slate.......

We could start this story from a lot of different angles, but the net is Cornelius Ingram is family. He is a part of the PTM and soon enough, the rest of the world will see why....

'Slate' as is he called back in his hometown of the 'Thorne' better known as Hawthorne, Florida is the best athlete to ever come out of his town. He started playing varsity basketball in the 7th grade and scored well over 3k points, he is second all-time in the state of Florida in points scored...

He was a QB as well, one of the top 11 QB's (Elite 11) in the nation coming out of Hawthorne High School, being recruited by many of the top schools in the nation. He opted to go to school right down the road at the Univ. of Florida to play quarterback, he also decided to play basketball as a recruited walk-on.

Sooooooooo his freshman year he didn't get playing time on the football team but saw time for the basketball team, he was in the same class as Joakim Noah, Corey Brewer and Al Horford. Coming into his soph season in football, Tim Tebow comes to town.......You know how that went...Slate had to move to tight end....His increase in playing time on the football field made him decide to stop playing for the basketball team, the year he left, they won the NCAA National Championship, back-to-back, would have seemed like he missed out, but nahhhhhhhh!!!....In 2006 the Gators won the BCS national championship.....I say all this to say, C.I. is a winner, Hands Down!

As he's even told us, he should have declared for the NFL draft after his Jr. year as a Gator. He was projected to go in the first three rounds, but he opted to go back to school, play football one last season and get his degree. Unfortunately, C.I. tore his ACL and missed his entire senior season....But, the gators won the BCS title game again, 2 rings in 4 years, not too shabby....







Just to give you an idea of how much of a pro prospect C.I. was, he didn't play his senior season, but was still selected in the 5th round by the Philadelphia Eagles. He hit another bump in the road, his knee wasn't fully healed and he re-injured his knee in Eagles training camp in 2009 as well as 2010...

C.I. is the true testament of perseverance and continuing to have faith in God.....He has all of the tools and is destined for greatness. Once he proves he is healthy this coming season, he is going to make a lot of noise on and off the field......That is a guarantee......


I can talk about Slate for a long long time, but you'll all see soon enough........

The only thing about Chicago is the winter weather, and boy did we get hosed. 2 ft of snow, the day before we were supposed to roll out… I’ve never seen anything like it, it was like a movie. This is Lake Shore Drive after the storm hit……Yougetcho!!!!

So we had to play rescue team, shoveling and snow blowing, all types of BS for our dear Aunty Lisa, she’s awesome by the way. Great adults, generally produce great children, and she has two amazing kids, Gavin and Nigel Schilling, remember these names folks, these are special kids. Gavin is hooping in Germany at a basketball academy, and Nigel is a child prodigy, this fella has way too many talents, he can literally do it all….Just check out this video….SMH…..

Chicago was awesome, another successful trip…I can’t wait to go back.......
