CJ Barber, Dorian Capers, Kendrick Lynch??

[87Cock09]

I was going through our past classes and was wondering about these guys. We signed and placed all of these guys in JUCO after the 2004 class. Does anyone know what happened to any of these guys, they were the highest rated prospects besides Marque Hall in that class for us. Did any of them actually finish JUCO and sign with a D1A school?? Any particular reasons we stopped recruiting them?

I talked to CJ Barber over the summer and he will still have 2 years left after this year to play if he can transfer in. He had some issues with an injury and was in Miss attending college when Katrina hit. If you have ever seen him play you will know this kid was THE star on a good high school team with Jonathan Joseph that went to the state title on a 4A Northwestern team and started since he was a freshman.

I actually got to see Dorian play at one point... real big dude and dominate, but no effort on his part at all. Even with him being INCREDIBLY stupid (who the hell robs a gas station with a knife for no real reason?!!!!), he wasn't that big of a loss, IMO. Not really sure what happened to those other guys though.

So I assume we are not recruiting him anymore though right?

rock23aj has already stated CJ's issues. Dorian had his trouble with the law and I don't believe Kendrick ever finished high school. I don't believe any of them will play for SOS.

Not to nit pick, but Dorian didnt rob a gas station at gun point. He robbed another kid (with a swiss army knofe i beleive) and it was in savannah. i was living there at the time. I think it was part of an intitiation process for a gang ... i think thats how it played out in the end.

Anyway, he was kicked out of school for that and transfered to private school in the Beaufort area and then went to JuCo ...

There was an update on him about a year ago .. i think he was listed a one of the big juco players to watch, etc ...

Havent heard about him since ...


SAVANNAH, Ga. - A recruit who recently signed with South Carolina has been arrested and charged with armed robbery earlier this week, police said.
Dorian Capers, a Thomas Heyward Academy senior, signed with the Gamecocks in February.
Capers and his cousin, Walter Capers, and Travis Tyrell Fields were arrested early Sunday morning after police said they robbed two men at knifepoint in a parking lot, Savannah Police Department spokesman Bucky Burnsed said.
The trio approached two men, Douglas Hildebrand, 21, of Greer, and David Edwards, 24, of Hinesville, Ga., and stole cash, Burnsed said.
A police officer spotted a car speeding away, pulled it over and Hildebrand and Edwards identified the men, Burnsed said.
Athletics spokesman Kerry Tharp said the school would wait until the outcome of the case before making a decision on the 6-foot-6, 275 pound defensive lineman from Beaufort.
After a disciplinary incident last year, Capers transferred to Thomas Heyward because he was ineligible to play for Battery Creek High School.
Capers had 127 tackles, four sacks and two fumble recoveries last season.
He also caught 23 passes for 325 yards as tight end as the Rebels finished 5-6.
