          Mark Richt is already making a splash in his first year at Miami -- and the Hurricanes haven't even taken the field yet.

          At a prospect camp on Friday, Richt backflipped off the 10-meter high dive at the outdoor pool on campus.

          This isn't the first time Richt has taken on this challenge. When he was the quarterback at Miami, he would dive in the same pool.

          He also routinely jumped off the high dive when he was the football coach at Georgia.

          Safe to say it was a pretty popular move with the football players and coaches in attendance.
