Current Commitments

[longcock]

Here's a list of current commitments. I went ahead and added the prep players, but as we all know, they're free to open up their recruiting, and we're free to not offer them another scholarship.


Offense
QB - R. McCollum, A.Hillary
RB - E. Baker (prep)
WR - J. Spearman
OL - TJ Johnson

Defense
DL - J. King (JuCo), Kenny Davis
LB - S. Wilson, R.Bowens
DB - A. Auguste (prep),
S - A. Allen (prep)


Assuming our Prep kids work out, at least a few (3 to be exact) of them should count against this year's class and enroll in January.

J.King still appears to be a commitment... but we're still waiting on the status of his GMC issue.

I'm curious...why is a TE up there? Do you know something we don't?

[longcock]

No, I was just going through the positions. I'll fill it in once we land someone.

Dang it! Aw doohickey, I thought we had one. Okay here we go.

[Gamecockfanatic4]

who is J. Davis?

[Indiana Gamecock]

I think he is talking about WR Jeremy Davis, but he is heading to Juco.

[longcock]

Jeremy Davis' status is a little uncertain. I'll take him off for now until I hear more about his situation. He was placed in prep in '06, and didn't qualify for '07. I guess it will depend on his grades on whether he can enroll in '08.

[Gamecocks4ever]

I thought I heard something about Jeremy Davis walking on at Nebraska. Don't know if I heard wrong but I thought I saw something on rivals about that.

[longcock]

I had not heard the Nebraska rumor. J.Davis is a HUGE talent. I guess we'll just wait and see on this one.

thought shaq decommittedNo, that was a rumor that RT started. He is 100% Gamecock.

[longcock]

We're up to 9.

[Brinkley_Bulldozer52]

Kenny Davis was at DT I thought... Kenny Page is the OL we're after

You're correct. I've moved K.Davis to D-line.

kind of puts things into perspective, with a lot of Gamecock fans worried about our 2008 class falling behind other teams'.....

Great post, pts...

[bktracker]

Does anyone know how many we will sign??(ballpark) I'd like to know if A.Hillary still may figure into the plans.

[carolinamyke]

A Hillary is no longer in the plans . He wants to play QB and we are only taking one QB

[Gamecock_4life]

I read somwere that J.KING is gonna be a 5star when they do the Juco ratings

[gamecockfootball09]

Jarriel King has the potential to be the number 1 JUCO recruit in this years rankings when they come out next week.

[Gamecock_4life]

cool, when do they come out next week?

[longcock]

The J. King issue is really pivotal for this year's class.
