Thought some of you might be interested in this Las Vegas Review/Journal article with a short piece about Cormier:
Most new football coaches often will keep one or two assistants from the previous regime.
Wide receivers coach Cedric Cormier was that assistant at UNLV, retained after Tony Sanchez left Bishop Gorman High School in December for the Rebels. Cormier oversaw UNLV’s best and most consistent position group, and he was responsible for recruiting and signing some of the program’s best players.
“I’d always heard great things about him,” Sanchez said. “He had always produced great players. He wanted to stay, and I talked to him and immediately you could tell he’s a hard-working, genuine guy. Everyone that I knew talked about him and had said great things.
“I’ll be honest with you, the entire time at Gorman, he’s the one guy who always reached out and would always say, ‘Good luck.’ We kind of kept that relationship.” Cormier said he has adapted quickly to working with a new staff. “Everyone has fit in good,” he said. “No egos. It’s a bunch of guys that are just hungry to work.”
Under Cormier, the receivers have been a reliable unit, led by players such as Devante Davis and Devonte Boyd. Cormier recruits the Houston area, where he was largely responsible for signing stars such as Davis and running back Tim Cornett, two record-setting players.
“It feels real good to be back out here,” Cormier said. “I credit that to the players I’ve had out here the last five years. It’s been a pretty good group, and good players make good coaches.”
