A couple of men walked into Wesley Chapel last week and announced themselves at the front desk.

"Mr. (John) Castelamare," a woman's voice said on the other end of the phone. "A man named Urban Meyer is here to see you."
Apparently, no one in the front office realized it was the University of Florida head football coach along with assistant Dan Mullen. The coaches were in town as part of a Bay area blitz to make various visits to top recruits.

Meyer visited Wesley Chapel junior lineman Kamran Joyer, who recently was featured on flavarsity.com. The 6-foot-3, 320-pounder was invited to an exclusive junior weekend next week on campus.

During Meyer's visit he shot a free throw in the gymnasium while Castelamare, the Wildcats coach, gave him a tour of the football facilities and handed him a couple of T-shirts. The Gators coaches then went over to Weightman Middle to visit Joyer's mother, who works at the school.
"That just made her day," Castelamare said.

Bulls Report - Brett McMurphy Sports - from TBO.com Blogs

Wesley Chapel lineman Kamran Joyer gave a verbally commitment to the University of South Florida today. The 6-3, 320-pound guard will likely move to center for the Bulls.

“We took a look at Miami yesterday and weren’t impressed with Miami,” Kamran’s father Jack Joyer said. “He really likes [offensive line coach Mike] Simmonds and Coach [Jim] Leavitt and then he has an opportunity to start right away. They will move him to center.

“It’s close to home and he will be able to compete for a state championship in weightlifting and track by not having to graduate early. Had he choose Florida or Miami, he would have graduated earlier.”

Although Florida had not offered, they were one of the programs Joyer considered, Jack Joyer said. He’s received scholarship offers from USF, Tennessee and South Carolina.
