USC Offers Kentucky Wideout

By Matt Long
WR Daniel Moore (6-5 188) of Bowling Green, KY has quietly accumulated offers from several major schools in the Southeast and Midwest. Moore, who goes by the nickname "D.L.", currently holds offers from USC, Nebraska, Purdue, Kentucky, Cincinnati, Middle Tennessee St, and Ohio. He has also heard from Tennessee and Louisville. He visited South Carolina earlier this summer for a camp in Columbia. According to his coach Kevin Wallace, Moore really enjoyed the camp and USC is now among his top three favorites, along with Purdue and Nebraska. Moore also went to camps at Tennessee and Louisville. He plans to go back to USC in the fall, "He talked to Coach (John) Hunt last week about setting up an official visit to South Carolina," Wallace said, "If everything works out, he'll be there for South carolina's opener." He also plans to take officials to Nebraska and Purdue.

[CoverTwo]

Well its obvious he wants to go to a school that slings it around a bit (Purdue & Nebraska)...It will be interesting to see how this shakes out since we are only taking 2-3 WRs this year..

[hardcock2]

Good to know, but he definitely needs to bulk up some.

[ShutTheSuccop]

Good to know, but he definitely needs to bulk up some.

That is one skinny dude:rotfl: :rotfl:

[gamecockfandrew]

It drops him 10 pounds on gamecockcentral saying he is 6'4" and only 178

[Cockholio]

His stature reminds me of former Gamecock, James Adkisson. Tall and skinny. Maybe he's got some serious wheels...

[CockyDemon13]

Do you think we'll ever get another receiver under 6'0 again? lol.

WR D.L. Moore (6-5 188) of Bowling Green, KY has scheduled an official visit with USC for Sepember 29th according to the Louisville Courier-Journal. Moore is scheduled to visit Colorado September 14th with his teammate, TE Ryan Wallace (6-6 230). USC has shown interest in Wallace but has not offered. Moore also has offers from Nebraska, Purdue, Cincinnati, Middle Tennessee State, Ohio and Kentucky. He is also hearing from Tennessee and Louisville. Moore said he is open regarding his decision and will make his visits before deciding.

[coryusc2008]

He has a big frame....so hopefully we end up gettin him....

He is tall enough, if he has anything to go along with it.

[Gamecockfanatic4]

we could use another big TE like Wallace too I think

[willy]

we could use another big TE like Wallace too I think



Yes we could if he has those kind of credentials.

Moore Looking Forward To USC Visit

By Phil Kornblut

WR D.L. Moore (6-5 188) of Bowling Green, KY made an official visit to Colorado last weekend. That was his first official visit. "It was fun," he said. "I liked the whole area. And I liked the coach and the players." Moore will make an official visit to USC September 28th and he plans to set officials with Nebraska and Purdue. He's not sure about his fifth visit. Moore said he hears regularly from USC assistants John Hunt and Steve Spurrier Jr. and he's excited about a return trip to Columbia. He attended a one day camp last summer and that's when he was offered by the Gamecocks. He said he does not have a favorite. In four games this season, Moore has 20 catches for 157 yards and 5 touchdowns.

[Rice Rice Baby]

great height!

[Forkcock]

I drove around Colorado's stadium and campus yesterday. Beautiful place and the girls are stunning.

He'd be crazy to not want to play for us though. These people out here care more about Starbucks than football!

[mjmiller]

WR D.L. Moore out of Kentucky is visiting this weekend for the Miss. St game. He has already visited Colorado, which is a school atop his list. Do you think if we win convincingly(which I think we will) and throw the ball around alot, that this guy will commit?

[kickerspl20]

maybe when he sees all the freshmen playing he'll notice that....otherwise i dont know bc he wont see any impressive quarterback action lol i hate to say that but when are we gonna get it??!@?!?!

[Gamecocks4ever]

He could but I don't know if the coaching staff would accept an commitment from him right this second. I'm thinking we are looking to sign 2-3 WR's this year and right now are top 3 WR's on our board are TJ Lawerence, Charles Whitlock, and Tommy Streeter. I think we sign at least 2 of the 3. Also, LB Reggie Bowens is visiting this weekend and look for a commitment from him this weekend.

[4|_3|<54/\/|)3R]

We're recruiting Whitlock as a WR?! Wow I've missed out on a lot lol.

[Ga_Gamecock]

from all that ive heard whitlock is going to be a weapon for us ... SOS needs some playmakers

[mjmiller]

from all that ive heard whitlock is going to be a weapon for us ... SOS needs some playmakers

You know something I dont? Last I heard Whitlock is uncommitted

[Cocksgonewild]

I wouldn't hold your breath on Streeter. He has way too many offers to be confident about him.

[CoverTwo]

Streeter will be a Gamecock if he chooses to leave the Miami area..but I seriously doubt that is going to happen.

We will take DL Moore's commitment.

[happygilmore527]

DL is a good looking receiver. I would love for him to commit.

Alabama is going to be tough to beat for Whitlock.

Streeter will be a Gamecock if he chooses to leave the Miami area..but I seriously doubt that is going to happen.

We will take DL Moore's commitment.

My thoughts exactly, T.J. Lawrence is our #1 target at wr right now. I think he ends up a gator when it is all over. Streeter will be a Hurricane, and I really do think we will get Moore this weekend. Also, Moore has a teammate who is interested in USC. I dont know his name, but he is a TE with good size.

[mjmiller]

I just watched video of this guy on rivals, and can you say Sidney Rice? I know D.L. is no SR right now, but he is leaper who goes and gets the ball. He is quick, and has some good moves to go along with his quickness. He has the same build as Rice, he will need to add about 20 pounds of muscle, but a RS year would take care of that. After watching that video, I really hope we impress this kid and get a commitment because he is going to be a good one.

[FinchMcCrunkNasty]

charles whitlock is going to be defense in college - and we don't need playmakers, we have plenty of them, we need a damn OL to block for a quarterback to get them the ball - #1 WR class in the nation last year...slipped your mind???

[AmonRa777]

charles whitlock is going to be defense in college - and we don't need playmakers, we have plenty of them, we need a damn OL to block for a quarterback to get them the ball - #1 WR class in the nation last year...slipped your mind???

WOW!!! Whitlock says Spurrier has talked to him about playing wr at USC...I guess SOS should consult you before signing prospects

[pitchcock]

we don't need playmakers, we have plenty of them, we need a damn OL to block for a quarterback to get them the ball - #1 WR class in the nation last year...slipped your mind???

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

When are some of you ever going to figure out that HS rankings don't necessarily translate to immediate success, or even future success?

If we're so overflowing with playmakers, then there should be no logical reason for SOS to repeat every week that we need to find playmakers..right?

[mjmiller]

charles whitlock is going to be defense in college - and we don't need playmakers, we have plenty of them, we need a damn OL to block for a quarterback to get them the ball - #1 WR class in the nation last year...slipped your mind???

So are you saying we wont have a good o line class if we sign this guy? So what if we had a #1 WR class last year. Just because we had a #1 class doesn't mean we are going to stop recruiting receivers. The 06 class had about 10 o lineman in it. slip your mind?

Moore Set For USC Visit

By Phil Kornblut
WR D.L. Moore (6-5 188) of Bowling Green, KY makes an official visit to USC this weekend. Moore will arrive on Saturday. "I'll be looking at the chemistry with the coaching staff and the players," Moore said. He will be making the visit by himself. Another key factor will be his opinion on the quality of life in Columbia because his family plans to move with him to wherever he decides to go to school. Moore also has visited Colorado and plans to visit Nebraska and Purdue. He is undecided on his fifth visit. Moore also has offers from Cincinnati, Middle Tennessee State, Ohio and Western Kentucky

[Will4144]

USC Remains Relevant With Moore

By Phil Kornblut
WR D.L. Moore (6-5 188) of Bowling Green, KY remains very interested in USC and hears from the Gamecocks on a weekly basis. He has made official visits to USC and Colorado and will visit Purdue this weekend. He has not scheduled any more visits. He also has offers from Nebraska, Cincinnati, Middle Tennessee State, Ohio, Colorado and Western Kentucky. Moore said Illinois recently contacted him and is now showing interest. He does not have a favorite.

[Will4144]

If we could just get DL Moore, TJ Lawrence, and Charles Whitlock in our WR class this year, I'd be more than happy.

[GamecockCletis18]

I am pretty sure that we would take Whitlock as a DB but yeah we could definatley use him!

[Will4144]

Spurrier and Whitlock have both stated that we are the only team recruiting him primarily as a WR. Let's hope he does the same as Chris Culliver did last year.

[roosterrizk1]

Whitlock is being recruited as a WR and we sure can use his open field ability at the position.

[big cock fan]

yea those three would be a great wr class, and we are still in it for a few more top notch guys too. hopefully we end our year on the right note, and kill this recruiting class like last years

[hellraiser24]

its the headline on the rivals page. what does everyone think about our chances. he said its between usc, colorado, and purdue.

[mjmiller]

I think we have a good shot at him. Does anyone else think we might hold off on his commitment. I say this because of TJ Lawrence and Tommy Streeter are still on the board and very interested in attending USC.

[roosterrizk1]

That could very well happen.....especially if Streeter has told the staff he is coming.

[ShutTheSuccop]

That could very well happen.....especially if Streeter has told the staff he is coming.

I have heard this also

[CoverTwo]

I'm pretty sure Moore has been a silent to us for a while.

[ConwayGamecock]

I'm pretty sure Moore has been a silent to us for a while. If this is true, aren't silent commits advised to be silent by the coaches?? Then that would mean that Moore making a public announcement is also approved by the coaches?? So, maybe our coaches have a very good feel about Streeter and Lawrence, and went ahead and told Moore to publicly announce? Just wild speculation on my part...

[CaptainCrunch]

when does D.L. announce?

[ConwayGamecock]

soon

[FeartheSpur]

why would we turn down someone??? wasnt everbody on here bashing clemson earlier this week????? now yall want us to do the same thing they did... we take what we can get and we move on... some people on here didnt want us to take dimarco's committ and send him somewher else to play last year look how good he turned out and is going to be for us

[big cock fan]

if we landed DL More and Streeter we might have the tallest and bigest WR group in the country. And o yea they are all freshmen and redshirt freshmen lol

[ConwayGamecock]

why would we turn down someone??? wasnt everbody on here bashing clemson earlier this week????? now yall want us to do the same thing they did... we take what we can get and we move on... some people on here didnt want us to take dimarco's committ and send him somewher else to play last year look how good he turned out and is going to be for us

actually, teams do this all the time: the coaches are trying their best to fill the needs of their team - as they see it - with the best recruits possible. It's actually considered part of their jobs.

If the coaches target top recruits at their positions - in this case, WR's highly rated and ranked in the nation - and those players are interested in USC, why shouldn't the coaches try to get them to come to us? And if some other WR's that are not as highly rated shows up and wants to commit, you say we should just take them and forget the others?

USC has but only so many spots open for WR's, and the coaches are trying to fill those spots with the best prospects possible. It would be a shame if there was a Streeter or Lawrence or Whitlock out there that wants to come to USC, and that fit our needs better, but they have to go elsewhere because we took a WR that didn't fit our needs as well. Just because that WR showed up ready to commit now.

As my above comments states, I think if Moore was a silent commit, then I think he's been working and speaking with our coaches, and it's all good. We may have been asking Moore to hold off on his commit to see what the other WR's were planning, and now that they know, they are telling Moore to go ahead and commit. Hopefully the reasons are good, and we are getting everyone we are wanting to get.....

[FeartheSpur]

hell they can always be converted to DB...

[Gamecockfanatic4]

would we have room to take Streeter, Lawrence, and Moore?

[87Cock09]

I dunno, but I'm pretty sure we are taking Lawerence and Streeter if they want to come.

[Will4144]

would we have room to take Streeter, Lawrence, and Moore?

I don't think so. I think we get 2/3.

We turned down a player about 4 months ago. RB Brandon Davis.

[roosterrizk1]

I think we have to take all three if they want to commit. That would be one awesome group of WR's that's for sure. I can see those 4 and 5 wide Cock n Fire sets now .....

[FinchMcCrunkNasty]

That could very well happen.....especially if Streeter has told the staff he is coming.
i'm pretty sure it is the other way around, lawerence has told them he is coming...streeter is probably 50/50 miami/usc

[jellafever]

I think we have to take all three if they want to commit. That would be one awesome group of WR's that's for sure. I can see those 4 and 5 wide Cock n Fire sets now .....

I dont know if we have to take all three. We already have Freddie Brown, Moe Brown, Joe Hills, Jason Barnes, Dion LeCorn, possibly Mark Barnes (maybe safety), possibly Chris Culliver, and hopefully McKinley is coming back. I think Streeter and either one of the other two is plenty of WRs.

[roosterrizk1]

i'm pretty sure it is the other way around, lawerence has told them he is coming...streeter is probably 50/50 miami/usc

I am just saying IF Streeter has told the staff this. Regardless, I would take all three. I could not tell you other than what I have read that Streeter is really liking the Cocks. Most are saying its actually USC/USF now...??? Who knows... these kids change their minds like we change our drawers.....

[jellafever]

Streeter is really liking the Cocks.

Best phrase ever on CT.

[UgSaCmecocks]

If this is true, aren't silent commits advised to be silent by the coaches?? Then that would mean that Moore making a public announcement is also approved by the coaches?? So, maybe our coaches have a very good feel about Streeter and Lawrence, and went ahead and told Moore to publicly announce? Just wild speculation on my part...
HUH?

[Ga_Gamecock]

I don't think so. I think we get 2/3.



We turned down a player about 4 months ago. RB Brandon Davis.

If the numbers dont work out we can always go the GS route, which is a great move for any recruit whos going to RS anyway ...

there is always a plan for these kinds of things... im sure our coaches have a very good feel for the target guys and how to work the #s

[CoverTwo]

We turned down Brandon Davis because we had other targets we thought we had a decent shot at.

I seriously doubt we turn down Streeter/Lawrence/Moore if they all want to come.

This adds depth to the WR core, and could easily help the decision of moving Mark Barnes and Chris Culliver to DB.

I wouldnt necessarily guarantee Whitlock being a WR either so there is room in the corps for Lawrence, Streeter, and Moore.

[roosterrizk1]

You got it Cover....

[GopherHillBilly]

would we have room to take Streeter, Lawrence, and Moore?

I heard we'd take all three, which is very possible. What happens if we land those and J. Brown? He's an ATH like Whitlock and could be an elite Safety, but wants to play WR. Then there's Green and Walker. The board's looking real good!
:woo:

[ConwayGamecock]

when does D.L. announce?

I understand that Moore's team is playing for the state title tomorrow night. Shortly thereafter, he plans to announce. It could be as soon as Saturday, but most likely next Monday....

Moore Plans Decision This Week

By Phil Kornblut
WR D.L. Moore (6-5 188) of Bowling Green, KY plans to announce a decision this week from among USC, Colorado and Purdue. Moore said he would "just let the coaches know" Thursday or Friday. He said there's no lean towards any of the three right now. "It's up to me and my family because they are moving to where ever I go," Moore said. USC recruiters Steve Spurrier Jr. and John Hunt visited Moore last week. Purdue head coach Joe Tiller is scheduled for an in home visit Monday. No other head coaches are expected to visit before his announcement Moore said. This season Moore caught 60 passes for 1300 yards and 14 touchdowns.

[donbgamecock]

Wow. This kid has quite the support. It is great that his family is able to support him during his efforts to excel at college and football. He must be an awful smart kid to get the offers he has.

Go Cocks!

[lucasd2002]

Why is Hunt going to see a WR?

[ConwayGamecock]

Why is Hunt going to see a WR?

Hunt recruits offensive players, not just OL-men. Plus SOS jr. is going with him....

[JAYBEZ]

His family is going to move to the city in which he goes to school? Wow, I would want to support my kid, but giving up my job and all that would be pretty tough.

[Will4144]

Moore Having More Meetings This Week

By Phil Kornblut
WR D.L. Moore (6-5 188) of Bowling Green, KY was not able to meet with Purdue head coach Joe Tiller Monday because fog prevented the coach from flying in. And Moore said Monday he will meet with recruiters from all three of his finalists this week before making a decision either Friday or Monday. Coaches from Colorado will visit Wednesday. Purdue will be in Thursday. And USC recruiters John Hunt and Steve Spurrier Jr. will visit Friday. "These meetings will have an impact on my decision," Moore said. Moore took official visits to each of his finalists.

http://www.goupstate.com/article/20071210/PSPORTS02/71211002/-1/PSPORTS

[CaptainCrunch]

this has got to be one of the most random recruits ever, his finalist are colorado, purdue, and south carolina. wow

[FeartheSpur]

he just wants to go off to school i guess

[Will4144]

We offer beaches, Colorado offers mountains, and Indiana offers nothing interesting.

I think we'll get him.

[donbgamecock]

Maybe he likes fishing and wants to fish the St. Jos for steel head. Oh yea, thats in South Bend.

Maybe he likes corn.

Anyway, he sounds like a great player. He would be a nice addition.

Go Cocks!

[big cock fan]

how tall is this kid i have read as tall as 6'7 and as short as 6'3 its crazy how stats can change. If we were going to have to pick between him and streeter it would be tough but i think streeter might have the edge, so it will be interesting. I dont think we can take all three with TJ and streeter so we will have to see how it plays out. At least i hope we can get one of the three lol

[FeartheSpur]

we will still take him because there is always a possibility that someone doenst qualify

[Will4144]

I've heard the same. I've heard 6'5" most often, so that's what I'm going with. If Lawrence, Streeter, and Moore want to commit, we'll take all three.

Moore Holding Final Meetings

By Phil Kornblut
WR D.L. Moore (6-5 188) of Bowling Green, KY met Thursday at his school with Purdue head coach Joe Tiller and a Boilermaker assistant coach. "Everything went well," Moore said. They told me most of their receivers hold NCAA and Big Ten records." Friday Moore will be visited at school by USC receivers coach Steve Spurrier Jr. as well as his recruiter from Colorado. Moore hopes to make a decision soon after Friday's meetings, possibly by Monday. "That will give me time to think about things over the weekend," Moore said. As of Thursday night, Moore said he did not have a favorite.

http://www.goupstate.com/article/20071213/PSPORTS02/71214001/-1/PSPORTS

[scgolfer67]

I think we take all three if we can get them. How does taking all three work with this GT WR that wants to transfer? Do we have room for this amount and how pissed would the SCHSL be if SOS pulled schollies again? I think we should pull some a make some room for kids who give a damn about CAROLINA football.

Anyway

DL Moore is gonna be a good wideout for us...he reminds me of a taller kenny mac b/c he is very smart and as great field awareness. And its been said he catches everything

I can see Spurrier pulling a few more scholarships. Are the Lindsey brothers on scholarship? I wouldn't blame him for taking their scholarships at least. There will be some guys that don't enroll right away. If we get TJ Lawrence, Tommy Streeter, and DL Moore... I don't think we'll take DJ Donley, unless any of those are possible prep school placements.

Moore Will Announce Monday

By Phil Kornblut
WR D.L. Moore (6-5 188) of Bowling Green, KY said Sunday night he will make his college decision Monday between USC, Colorado and Purdue. Moore said he had not made his decision as of Sunday night and he did not indicate a leader. However, according to a USC source, the Gamecocks feel good about their chances. Moore said he talked to his Purdue recruiter Sunday and missed a call from USC head coach Steve Spurrier. He said he would just simply call the coaches sometime Monday night after his basketball practice to tell them of his decision.

Not sure if a call from SOS not being returned and mention that he would simply call the coaches on Monday of his decision sounds all that good to me.

[USCbaseballguy]

Hope he becomes a gamecock. He is a good one.

So I guess we really won't know the results until tomorrow if he isn't having a PC.

Moore Appears USC Bound

WR D.L. Moore (6-5 188) of Bowling Green, KY will announce his college choice tonight and as of Monday afternoon it looks like he will pick USC according to his coach. "I think D.L. was comfortable on h is visit to South Carolina and enjoyed his time at camp there this past summer," Kevin Wallace said. "He's felt that way for a long time. Every indication he's given us is he's going to commit to South Carolina." Moore also has been been considering Colorado and Purdue with the Buffaloes the other major factor according to Wallace. Moore caught 45 passes this season for 1047 yards and 18 touchdowns. He would become the Gamecocks' 18th commitment for the 2008 class.

[Cockholio]

I just watched his highlight videos over on Rivals. Dare I say it? It was very Sidney-esque. Not a blazer, but made his quarterback look damn good with his ability to go up and get the ball.

[CaptainCrunch]

awesome news, hopefully D.L. will commit soon

[eklypised]

So has he said yet?

[Cockholio]

^^Not that I've heard.

Here's a little tidbit..

Three area football players – including Bowling Green receiver D.L. Moore – were recently named district players of the year by the Kentucky Football Coaches Association.
Moore, a senior who helped lead the Purples to a 13-2 record and a third straight appearance in the state championship game, took the honor in Class 5A, District 2.
Moore, a serious Division I college prospect who also played at free safety, finished his final campaign with 63 catches for 1,350

Pretty interesting discussion over on the Kentucky board from a while back...Says he verbaled in October...This is not premium info.

[spartcock77]

Good pick up if we get him which it is looking like

[87Cock09]

He looked impressive to me in his film. He looks like he has good hands, and great jumping ability, can go up and get it. he doesn't look like a blazer, but he has decent agility and speed. I think he will probably redshirt though, he really needs a year in the weight room.
Also I was very impressed with TJ Lawerence's film, I really hope we can get him too. I think he looks ready to contribute right away.

Moore Commits To USC

By Phil Kornblut
WR D.L. Moore (6-5 188) of Bowling Green, KY has committed to USC over Colorado and Purdue. "I like coach Spurrier's energy and I like all the coaches," Moore said after his basketball practice Monday night. "I want to play in the SEC. I have good hands and the like to throw the ball to their receivers." Moore caught 63 passes for 1350 yards and 13 touchdowns this season. He becomes the 18th commitment for the Gamecocks.

[cocknblue]

Sweet!

[Dr. Cock]

Welcome aboard! Him and Joseph Hills will be absolute terrors in the endzone!

[Gamecocks4ever]

Great pickup!! He reminds me of Sidney Rice.

[FLgamecockJAX]

I hope we can Streeter and TJ Lawrence also!

[Gamecocks4ever]

I hope we can Streeter and TJ Lawrence also!Yeah, that would be awesome. I think we get both. It doen't sound like Streeter wants to go to Miami. It sounds like a USC/USF battle for him. I think we lead for TJ but not sure. We will have another great WR class.

[usc1]

Yeah, that would be awesome. I think we get both. It doen't sound like Streeter wants to go to Miami. It sounds like a USC/USF battle for him. I think we lead for TJ but not sure. We will have another great WR class.

I'd be more excited about this class than last if we got those two too.

[g4m3c4ck]

I want that white boy from the shine bowl too.

[USCbaseballguy]

Ok so we are 1/3 of the way to our goal. Come on down Mr. Streeter and Mr. Lawrence

[superstar90]

I see he becomes number 18. How many are we taking this year? Not taken and placed, but actually coming to USC no later than July of 08.

[CoverTwo]

I'm completely amazed at some of the hate this kid is getting on the other gamecock boards just because he doesnt look "great" on film..He is also getting dissed because he lacks breakaway speed..Hell, some fans are wondering what exactly we see in him because the great SEC powerhouse Kentucky didnt recruit him at all..Its unfreakinbelievable some of the filth that comes out of these people's mouths..

I'll take anyone who WANTS to be a GAMECOCK

Oh i've already checked. And he is accounted for. we're still 28.

We were ranked 28th immediately prior to Moore committing as well: either Moore has no rating value on Rivals whatsoever, which we know he does, or they haven't added his points to the total class yet. We'll see tomorrow......


and the team rankings on the Rivals home page still show 17 committments:

if u watch his highlights good route runner and got hand go up an get it looks kinda like number 4

[bktracker]

Whitlock was brought in as a WR also!!!! By SPURrier!!!

[roosterrizk1]

You are fixing to see many a 5 man sets in the very near future. We will need 10 wr's to be ready to go next year. Also, D.L. Moore is a good looking prospect. He has much more wiggle than I originally thought and his speed looks to be underrated. I also have seen him listed as much as 6'6". Looks to have the jump ball down....

Mckinley, Lecorn, Clements in the slot with Hills and J. Barnes/Moore/Streeter on the outside sounds really good to me

[Six Stars]

Add Moore, Streeter and Lawrence to the last crop and not so quietly, USC is assembling the best receiving corps in the nation. Its going to be hard for anybody in the SEC to defend them.

[87Cock09]

six, are you hearing that we are still in the lead for Lawerence and Streeter?

[Will4144]

They won't talk trash when he's coming down with the jump balls in the end zone. If you really want to compare any kid from last year or this year's class to Sidney Rice, he is it. He has the jump ball down, he's got great hands, he doesn't have breakaway speed, but does have decent speed. Tall and a little lanky. A football/basketball player in high school. D.L. Moore will be our biggest threat through the air in the red zone.

[bigmuthafooka]

i liked the way he looked in his highlights, we need a treat at WR tht we can just throw the ball up to

[jaytda4th]

Moore Commits To USC

By Phil Kornblut

WR D.L. Moore (6-5 188) of Bowling Green, KY has committed to USC over Colorado and Purdue. "I like coach Spurrier's energy and I like all the coaches," Moore said after his basketball practice Monday night. "I want to play in the SEC. I have good hands and the like to throw the ball to their receivers." Moore caught 63 passes for 1350 yards and 13 touchdowns this season. He becomes the 18th commitment for the Gamecocks.

[dgusc06]

I am really excited about Moore! I know he does not have the 4.3 speed and all but neither did Sidney Rice. I think he is a definite jump ball man and goal line situations he could be money! If we can lock up some o linemen and another couple linebackers this can turn into a real nice class.

[Indiana Gamecock]

I am pretty excited about his commit also. I just like receivers that play basketball, have good hands, and have a good vertical. We already have alot of burners that we recruited last year, and what we are lacking is the kid that can outjump and go over the DB's for the catch. Good pickup for Carolina.

[donbgamecock]

People who are negative on this kid have no insite. He is a smart kid and is probably only 18. I agree with everyone that he lacks some weight and only being able to bench 205 lacks strength. I would speculate that he has gained height faster than he could gain strength. That will change starting this year. Also, he has a 38" vertical. That is really getting up there when you are 6'-4" to 6'-5". When you put him up against a 5-10 back that can only jump 32"-34", hell you have a 11-13" difference.

I think most people will be quite satisfied when they look at this kid in the fall of 09 and see someone who is 6-5" and 220lbs. His speed will probably also improve with the proper training. Right now he has the core of what can't be easily taught and that is great hands and good route running abilities.

Go Cocks!

[roosterrizk1]

I don't see a thing not to like about this kid. Number 6 kid in Kentucky, and his numbers over the last 2 years were fantastic. As far as the hate on the other boards, they are ate up with folks who may have a Gamecock handle but are indeed Clemson /UGa Fans. This kid has very similiar abilitites to Rice IMO. I remember when we got Sidney the same folks were complainig about his lack of speed. Just saw him take one 60 plus yards to the house for the Vikings last week, they were wrong.

[donbgamecock]

Take a look at how this kid's numbers were when he was a junior and compare them to his senior year. I think the coaches see this kid as having 5 star smarts, hands, and WR skills and 3 star speed and strength. But......I also see the coaches as recognizing that this kid is just now starting to mature and will continue to grow into a great player in the next two years.


Go Cocks!

[big cock fan]

well this kid looks like a taller Sidney, but you know Sid never had breakaway speed, he never caught a pass and just took it to the house. He was a great option and a big target, he has great quickness with great hands.
This kid has a 38 inch vertical, at 6'4-6'6 thats crazy, thats just like sidney, im sorry but know 5'9-5'11 coner back has a shot in hell to go up and defend that.
The kentucky fans dont seem too disapointed in losing him, but you cant argue this kids numbers, and if sos personally scouted this kid at his camp then he knows what this kid brings to the table.

[USC4LIFE2]

Wow I just watched him on Rivals and he is a spitting image of Sidney.The way he Blocks out defenders and goes up and grabs it.We got a good one!!!Now all we need is Streeter :)

[hayesnumber76]

I just saw this kids highlight film, I cant WAIT to see him do his thing... VERY VERY simular to Sidney Rice... Cant wait to see him... And Ive also learned that some people on other sites were worried about his break away speed... correct me if im wrong, but in 2005 against FLA, didnt they catch sidney from behind just short of the endzone? Sidney didnt have that great of break away speed, but he still got the job done... caught the ball down field, scored touchdowns, and was a huge threat for us. So I cant wait to see D.L. Moore do it up for us. with the recievers we have now, and with the new additions, its going to be nothing but flying chickens! :) GO COCKS!

[Will4144]

Don't worry about the speed. It'll help in end zone situations. I remember this year against Kentucky, we tried consecutive passing plays to Kenny McKinley in the redzone. He dropped one and one was a terrible throw. That's where D.L. Moore will help us the most. Throw it up in the air in the back corner and he'll outjump the rest of the guys for it like Sidney did for us.

[mjmiller]

This guy is very underrated, and is a tremendous football player. A redshirt year will help put some muscle on this guy, that he needs. He goes up and gets the ball better than any other reciever we will sign in this years class. I dont listen too much when people talk about speed or lack of. I'll take a guy who can run good routes, block well, and has good height and great hands over a guy who runs a 4.3 40, but cant run a route worth a damn.

[jstrom]

Also, he has a 38" vertical. That is really getting up there when you are 6'-4" to 6'-5". When you put him up against a 5-10 back that can only jump 32"-34", hell you have a 11-13" difference.

Go Cocks!

Are you kidding? Add in wingspan and size of hands, it's a lot closer to 2 ft., maybe more.

[Will4144]

Are you kidding? Add in wingspan and size of hands, it's a lot closer to 2 ft., maybe more.

Wingspan and size of hands are already factored into verticals. Vertical is the very highest point you can get to. It's not like D.L. Moore will wear a foam finger in the game to give him a larger wingspan.

[big cock fan]

no its not added in. It just means thats how high he can jump.

[USCMusicMan]

no its not added in. It just means thats how high he can jump.

ahh, technicalities...who cares, 38" vertical AND 6'5" tall, he'll probably be able to reach higher than SR.

[Will4144]

no its not added in. It just means thats how high he can jump.

When you measure vertical, you jump and try to reach the highest point possible. At least that's how all the verticals that I've done were set up. Wherever the tip of your top finger touched.

In any case, here's what we should expect from D.L. Moore (thanks to Scout for the free picture):

http://media.scout.com/Media/Image/42/421299m.jpg

[jstrom]

Wingspan and size of hands are already factored into verticals. Vertical is the very highest point you can get to. It's not like D.L. Moore will wear a foam finger in the game to give him a larger wingspan.

The only "factor" in a vertical is how far(high) a person clears the Earth. Wingspan has nothing to do with a vertical , nor the size of his hands. However, when fighting for a "free ball", wingspan and size of hands (also hand strength) exponentially increase a receiver's ability to catch the pass.

[hellraiser24]

wingspan is a stat more looked at for DE. leaping ability is a more important stat for receivers, because it is easier to push a defender out of the way with your body to fight for position then to try and outreach him with your arms

[Will4144]

Wingspan makes you reach higher, thus increasing your vertical.

[NXS]

Moore’s stats for his Sr. season: 63 catches, 1,350 yards and 13 TD’s

D.L. will be a great “go-to-guy” possession receiver, complimenting the downfield routes from our speed guys.

http://www.courier-journal.com/blogs/demling/uploaded_images/D.L.-Moore-758744.jpg

[Will4144]

A lot of people use "that kid can fly" for how fast a player may be, but D.L. Moore can really fly... like in the air and all.

[big cock fan]

when you do a vertical test, you go ahead and reach up to a point and you see where the tip of your fingers are, then you jump up and see how high you get. then you measure the distance inbetween.

In either way this kid is 6'5 witha 40 inch vertical which is insane. I bet hes a good bball player too. I cant wait to see this kid redshirt and gain about 20lbs after being on the right diet and training program. By his Redshirt sophmore year this kid will be amazing, mark it down.

And for all the guys that say you need to be a 4.3 guy to be dangerous, just remember the most dangerous player on the field today is Mr. Hester for the bears and he runs in the 4.5's.

[Will4144]

40's don't matter as much as we pretend they do. Running with and without pads is a lot different.

I don't think DL Moore will redshirt. I think we may see some of him next year. Maybe someone else will step up into the role he's going to play, but if we're in the same situation as this year, Moore will see the field.

Hester is much closer to a 4.3 than a 4.5.

[Barry_gamecock]

Yea I thought Hester ran a 4.3 something at the combine.

I certainly hope Moore can come in and be a playmaker for us. If not him then someone. We really need someone who can go up and get it. Our protection isnt good enough (in my opinion) to go without a tall playmaker.

[USCMusicMan]

how good was D.L. Moore's QB?

I find it amazing he has an average of 21 yards per catch. We need a guy that can get open deep...if some of our upperclassmen WR do not step it up, then I could see this guy getting some serious playtime NEXT season.

[Dr. Cock]

I'm pretty sure he's going to get a RS myself. In my opinion, he just isn't big enough to play at the next level yet, and there's just going to be too much competition for him to break though with that disadvantage. Don't sleep on Joseph Hills and Jason Barnes... those guys can go up and get it as well.

However, I will say Moore is a great catch and an underrated prospect overall, especially after putting up the numbers he did his Senior year in high school. He'll become an absolute terror in the endzone when he bulks up some.

[Gamecockfanatic4]

I think if we end up with Streeter and Moore one of the 2 will RS

[roosterrizk1]

If he doesn't play as a TF it likely won't be because of his size. At 6'5" 188lbs he could easily be 200lbs when he arrives. That IMO is plenty big. Now I could see him RS to learn the system.

[87Cock09]

He needs a year to bulk up, Lawerence is the one who could play right away imo. But with a redshirt year, Moore could be a beast. People are very quick to dismiss all the guys we signed last year, those kids should be a lot better with a year off development under their belt. This happens every year, people predict the next big sensation to come in and set the field on fire, and forget about the guys who are here that were just as impressive coming out of high school.Last year these same comments were being made about Hills and barnes tearing it up right away. You gotta give these guys time to develop.

I will admit that I'm one of the guys that has forgotten about last year's WRs. I'm sure plenty of you have (whether you'll admit it or not). I know they are going to be a pleasant "surprise" next year.

[roosterrizk1]

I am fully expecting Coach to spread things out with some 4 and 5 wides. If I am right we will need all these WR's and then some to contribute. If we get Streeter he is definitely big enough and good enough to play early.. IMO.

[Ga_Gamecock]

I am fully expecting Coach to spread things out with some 4 and 5 wides. If I am right we will need all these WR's and then some to contribute. If we get Streeter he is definitely big enough and good enough to play early.. IMO.

IMO all of our WRs in this class 'will get a look' in the summer, but all will RS ... streeter is very tall, but not 'big' at all ... hes extremely lanky. his ht will be the thing that gets him on the field (if he does). Hills was a kid with some strength, and he would have been the only impact WR last season IMO if Lecorn hadnt stepped up late (and he looks like a OLB) ... just saying ... these freshman and recurits are good, but to fully contribute they will need time in the S&C sys and time to learn the O ... plus the guys from last years class will fill the void(s) at WR in 08 ... IMO we will see only the very select few true fr play from here on out. and thats the way it should be.

[Click]

I've often said Lecorn looks like fullback! He's built. Its no wonder his blocking is so good with that kind of body & strength. I really look for him to do some big things at USC.

[Will4144]

I can't wait to see Jason Barnes, Mark Barnes, D.L. Moore, Tommy Streeter, and Joseph Hills leaping into the air to bring down those high balls. I wonder if we are considering moving Hills to the TE spot and just making him the next Jared Cook.

I can't wait to see Kenny McKinley, Charles Whitlock, Matt Clements, and T.J. Lawrence streaking downfield for the long ball.

Man, it's a good time to be a Gamecock!

Have you forget about Wes Saunders already??

[Will4144]

Have you forget about Wes Saunders already??
No, but we'll need more than one good TE after Jared Cook is gone.

[roosterrizk1]

Streeter is a solid 200lbs. If you have not seen him up close you will be suprised how big he is. I say he plays if he comes without a doubt. Saw this Dude in the Florida 6A State Championship and he ain't little, I promise.

[Ga_Gamecock]

i hope you are right. the numbers are so skewed sometimes - 4.4 40 or 4.68 40 ... 6-5 or 6-2 ... 200 lbs or 185 ...

He looks like he could be the game breaker we have been looking for. 6-6 and with a great vert he could catch anything we put up in the endzone.

i cant wait to see a WR consisting of guys like kenny, lecorn, hills, barnes, and streeter ...
im just excited to see us be so deep on the bottom of our roster ... in the '2008 DL' thread our sr and jr class is light, and our soph and fr classes are going to be talent-laden. when we have the luxury of consistently RSing the vast majority of our classes we will be in great shape ...

[Cock N Fire]

No, but we'll need more than one good TE after Jared Cook is gone.
True, but Cook still has two years to play. Im sure we'll find another TE before then.

[Will4144]

True, but Cook still has two years to play. Im sure we'll find another TE before then.

But Joseph Hills could find playing time earlier at TE if last year's WR class shows up next year. That would make him a Redshirt Junior once Jared Cook graduates and that's about the ideal time for a player to start contributing full-time, IMO.

[USCbaseballguy]

Culliver no one wants to say anything bout culliver? im going to be reminding y'all how you wrote him off when he is tearing up the S.E.C next year.

Im not saying its not a possibility, but we'll just have to wait and see. Don't really know either if Joe Hills is that great at blocking yet either.

[ConwayGamecock]

Culliver no one wants to say anything bout culliver? im going to be reminding y'all how you wrote him off when he is tearing up the S.E.C next year.

Yeah, we might's well talk about Culliver. We've talked about Streeter, Lecorn, Hills, Cook, hell just about everyone. It's not like this thread is a particular recruit's official thread, or anything......

Matt Clements is comparable to a bigger Kenny McKinley, and not only because he played QB in high school.

Moore Backs Off USC Commitment For Now

By Phil Kornblut
On Recruiting
Published: February 5, 2008

WR DL Moore of Bowling Green, KY has decommitted from USC and is now considering signing with Colorado Wednesday his coach said Tuesday. Moore is undecided between the Gamecocks and Colorado. Coach Kevin Wallace said a major factor here is that his son, TE Ryan Wallace, recently committed to Colorado and Ryan Wallace and Moore are very close friends.

[RbrewDawg]

this is another tough blow

[sully1]

David Reaves is in over his head. I look for us to have another RC after signing day.

If we cannot keep Moore and Streeter does not come here that will mean we landed zero WRs.

We cannot keep doing this. You have to spread your classes out at every position or you end up having to sign JC players and recruiting heavily at one position in some years when you really cant afford to.

I am sorry to say this but we had a complete meltdown at the end of the season.....it appears that we might be having one now too. This stems from the top.

[CoverTwo]

You seriously cant be blaming this on David Reaves..That is a joke.

Did you ever think that juuuusssttt maybe that we backed off of him? Maybe we told him that he would be a greyshirt? Just sayin...

[droc]

Saw this on another board a couple of days ago but didn't want to believe it, apparently colorado is also showing him some kind of bogus usc depth chart at wr, I'll try to find the list and post it but it has carlos thomas as one of the wr, I hope that DL is not falling for that one.

[gamecckfan5]

There should be no committing and de-committing in NCAA football. There needs to be a rule change...I don't think kids should be able to "commit" until signing day. If they want to enroll early, that is a different thing...

[RbrewDawg]

the football system is catching some great deals when it comes to multimedia, coaches, and exposure. But if the recruits don't come in then we will be exposed through all of these outlets not as a good team or even a team on the rise but the dreaded "coaches Graveyard" and "annual mediocricy" When are we going to get all things on an upward pace....when!!!!!


.......It really doesn't matter, we will always be here, i think they somewhat know that

[FinchMcCrunkNasty]

There is no way Colorado is gonna steal this kid from us...is there?

Just my opinion friend, but I think you are WAYYYYYYY off base with those comments.

[rock23aj]

Lawrence isnt out of the question either

[FinchMcCrunkNasty]

Ever since the 2nd half of the UNC game we have been a complete greasefire...

[WayzUp]

I would think he'd be able to figure that out as bogus on his own. I get the impression that his HS coach had more than a couple things to say in Coloradope's favor since his son is going all the way out there (despite their tendency for trouble) & doesn't want him to go out there alone. If (big IF, I know) that's the case, the onus in terms of who's fault it is lies with whoever was recruiting him for us cuz I would think we should have been aware of that & countered it well before it became a pitch for Colorado to make.

I expect to see this kind of post on another site, but not here.

[sully1]

I have my opinions...

In all honesty, if DL Moore recommits and stays a Gamecock and we get noone else, I will still be happy with this class.

However, going on what I have heard from who I believe, this class couldve been much better. Laziness, ineptitude, etc. has limited this class.

To me, that is inexcusable. I will be happy with a Top 30 class but will always think about what could have been if more effort was exuded.

In regards to my new RC comment, I guess we will just have to wait and see.

Ive thought we needed a new OL coach for the past two years but nothing has been done about that either.

Were you happy with last year's class? Who was our recruiting coordinator then?

[Kendalls Daddy]

Did you feel the same after D Reaves pulled in the #4 class last year?

[Hopefultiger]

No commitment until the LOI is sent in...

You guys are gonna end up around #30. It's totally unreasonable to expect a ranked class after your skid. Recruiting is just going to suffer a bit, but still don't think you guys are bad off. I definately wouldn't blame the RC.

I wouldn't want to be a USC commit and be checking out this post...

[FeartheSpur]

no shit sherlock^

[COCKROCK]

I think Sully is simply stating his frustration with how this class is going to pan out compared to last year.

[garnetchicken]

i think the problem with this class especially at wr is because of the wr class we had last year.Some of the other positions we are lacking in this class is because of the coaching changes.Honestly i think we have some great guys in this class and will add depth that we need as we saw at the end of this year.After this next season if the new coaches are able to coach the players up better than recent years then look for next years class to be one of the tops.If you take a look at the recruiting team rankings this year we are hovering around the top 25 and i will take that after the season we had.The teams who are around us are in the same situation because of coaching changes also.But IMHO this is a solid class for us.

[heathbates]

Calling out the coaching staff for being lazy is more than an expression of frustration, imo.

[RbrewDawg]

You just hit the nail on the head...sad sad sad

BFC must be a tater with me! Damn all this time i thought we were Diehard Gamecocks! Good think the JayBez set us straight.

[FeartheSpur]

i must be in the one percent i think we are doing okay for right now....we dont need WR we only had the #1 WR class in the nation last year....we get what we need...think about all the freshman that got RS...think about how many players we lost to graduation...we dont have that much room for 30 prospects again

[Cockholio]

Well said. I think we're doing OK. No where near bad enough for all the negative nelly-ism going on in this thread.

[gamecockphan]

Question. If we lose out on Moore and Streeter goes elsewhere...How many ships does that leave us with and what do we do with them?

[Cockholio]

.......It really doesn't matter, we will always be here, i think they somewhat know that

I'm drowning in your optimism. Please share more.

[RbrewDawg]

Came out wrong, meant it in a good way, kinda. We have been faithful this long, we definietly arent closet fans is what i meant.

[Ga_Gamecock]

You seriously cant be blaming this on David Reaves..That is a joke.

Did you ever think that juuuusssttt maybe that we backed off of him? Maybe we told him that he would be a greyshirt? Just sayin...

JMO, but not a chance ... we have targeted a selcet few WRs this class and they are falling bu the wayside ... so I would think its highly unlikely we would snub the one WR who actually verballed to us ... plus this kids athleticism and build/hands make him a great prospect IMO.

his HS teammate just verballed to the Buffs - they are tight and IMO that was the deciding factor

im sure our staff is all over him at this point - they better be

[garnetchicken]

Question. If we lose out on Moore and Streeter goes elsewhere...How many ships does that leave us with and what do we do with them?
the scholarships not used can be added onto next years class giving us more we can take next year.

[FinchMcCrunkNasty]

Question. If we lose out on Moore and Streeter goes elsewhere...How many ships does that leave us with and what do we do with them? I think we would be done with WR. Which wouldn't be a bad thing. It would give us more room to start attacking 2009 now, which I think we can all agree that we are finally starting to recruit early this season. I have seen multiple kids being offered by us first this year, which is great!

[FeartheSpur]

my question is....who says these kids we have arent the best?? Rivals...Scout...Clemson Fans...ESPN... who gives a shit... most of the people on here that are complaining about our class are the ones that on other threads are saying stars dont mean anything look at ko simpson...look as meat...look at all these other players that were two star studs or 5 star busts....why cant yall make up your mind and decide if stars mean something or not....

[Ace Dilcock]

We already have distribution - that is why we redshirted 2 - 4 WRs (depending on where Mark Barnes and Matt Clements wind up) from last year's class. Also, former 4 star DJ Donley will be a RS Soph in 2009, with major college experience, and Charles Whitlock is going to get a look @ WR next year. How many WRs do we need on the roster? Wait until the dust settles on this year's class before you guys worry too much.

The stars arent the issue right now, It's landing anyone!!!! But you are right when it comes to rankings, there is a small differentiator that adds on to stars thats called heart!

[FeartheSpur]

but if we had 5 or 10 5 stars this wouldnt even be a discussion right?

[jaytda4th]

wow i was just at lunch talking about how good i thought D.L moore was because my friend was saying he was garbage.

this sucks.

[USCfanlivingnKY]

MY 2 cents worth:

"OKAY" DOES NOT CUT IT in recruiting. "OKAY" = 4th place in SEC EAST with 3-5 record and a crappy bowl in Tennessee or Louisiana. PERIOD. Clemson must be doing something right. They beat us 2 out of every 3 years, they go to better bowls, they have a winning record and they recruit consistently in the Top 25, hands down!

The only teams who do not consistently crack the TOP 15 in recruiting in the SEC are South Carolina, Kentucky, Arkansas, Vanderbilt, Ole Miss and Mississippi State. Where do all of these teams usually finish? Bottom half of the SEC. Teams with high numbers of 5-Star and 4-Star players finish in the upper half of SEC. Florida, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, Auburn and LSU.

There is no way we should be satisfied with this recruiting class. There is no way we should be satisfied with how last year ended. I know SOS made some much needed changes to his staff. That was step #1. Step #2 is recruiting Top 15 classes every year.

I am not mad or upset AT Spurrier, the coaches or players. I am just not satisfied where our football program is at this point. That is not criticism. It is called "expectation". I want high expectation from every fan. It is like Spurrier said to all of us "We should not clap for close losses." Same goes in recruiting. We should not be satisfied with a recruiting class outside the Top 25.

Go GAMECOCKS!

GO STEVE SPURRIER!

GO CAROLINA

[CaptainCrunch]

f, lets please not lose a recruit to colorado

[FinchMcCrunkNasty]

but if we had 5 or 10 5 stars this wouldnt even be a discussion right?RIGHT

[yShalabi]

I am sorry but I dont think we will lose this guy to Colorodo. He will not pass on the recognition of the SEC for Colorodo.. I mean who is colorodo?

[mjmiller]

That will be a poor decision on his part if he goes to colorado. But it is his life, so it could very easily happen.

[CoverTwo]

I am sorry but I dont think we will lose this guy to Colorodo. He will not pass on the recognition of the SEC for Colorodo.. I mean who is colorodo?

Who is South Carolina?

Colorado has done more than us in their football history

Just sayin..

And like I said in a earlier thread..Conference affiliation is starting to become a nonfactor among recruits today especially with the scholarship limit.

[gamecockphan]

Teams with high numbers of 5-Star and 4-Star players finish in the upper half of SEC. Florida, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, Auburn and LSU.


I feel like Auburn never puts in an absolute stellar class, but is always around the 14-17 range in rankings. I think they are a school that constantly overachieves.

There was an article or list that came out before the NC game this year comparing the Big 10 and SEC. It had Auburn and Wisconsin as perpetual overachievers and listed USC and Michigan St as the conference's underacheivers.

[ConwayGamecock]

Well, I too read the reports about Moore switching to Colorado back when it was first reported Jan 20th, but I held my tongue.

IMO, our biggest problem with this class was simply how our season ended. Having the rotating DC's certainly didn't help, but the 5-game slide was the biggest factor. This class wasn't expected to be as big as last season's anyway, because of sheer numbers, but was thought to be better per-capita, where the average recruit value would be higher than '07's class. But now that looks to be not the case.....

in 2006, the Gamecocks finished on a 3-game win streak, with wins over our in-state rival and a bowl win. That success helped fuel the excitement and brought in the talent in the 2007 class. And finishing on a 5-game losing streak has had just the opposite effect....

We just need to get back to winning next season. With their 5th commitment, UGA only has 8 scholarships left for the 2009 class, and I believe Clemson is also expected to have a smaller class for '09. These are USC's two biggest recruiting competitors, proximity-wise. From all reports I've been hearing, our coaches have placed the highest priority on recruiting the '09 and '10 classes they've yet to place, and 2009 should be a bonanza recruiting season for us, with the size similar to the '07 class, but with even better talent. But we have to win in 2008: at least 8 or 9 games. If not, then expect the '09 class to be stunted once again....

[CoverTwo]

It's because Auburn and Wisconsin are fantastic at talent evaluation..They get some big time players but they usually build up their classes for the future by redshirting 3 star players, etc.

[gamecockphan]

Who is South Carolina?

Colorado has done more than us in their football history

Ouch. The truth hurts.

[Ga_Gamecock]

the scholarships not used can be added onto next years class giving us more we can take next year.

Thats true and false .. to a degree

We cant just 'roll over' unused scholies, but in the overall scheme of things we will have less on the overall roster ...

the rule is you can sign 25 max per year and you have have no more than 85 total by some deadline in the spring or summer (b/f fall ball starts) ...

so if we undersign this year, it may allow us to sign a full calss next year, but we will still have to be withing the 25/85 rule ...

Just to clarify ...

BTW, sign and place ercruits help the ranking, but dont actually count against our #s until the actually join us on campus

[Flameout12]

Ever since the 2nd half of the UNC game we have been a complete greasefire...
Yep....turning into a halftime of infamy. :thumbs:

[CoverTwo]

I would've loved to be in the locker room at the half of the UNC game just to see what in the hell went on.

[Flameout12]

so if we undersign this year, it may allow us to sign a full calss next year, but we will still have to be withing the 25/85 rule
I think the early entries count against last year's schollys. So you can oversign and bring them all in if the overage come in early.

[Ga_Gamecock]

true, and i know we were technically 'over' the 85 after geathers and t rob, etc, cam in last year (jan) but like i was saying above, there is a deadline in between Jan enrollment and sometime in the spring or summer ... it gives the school a little bit of lag time in there for the numbers to shake out... kids are going to graduate in may, some may declare early, some may leave the program, etc ...

[ConwayGamecock]

might that have had something to do with Spurrier pulling the schollies of Dakota Walker and Matt Raysor??

[yShalabi]

So what are our chances with him?

[Ga_Gamecock]

from what i understand they werent fully committed to the program anyway. and i had very high hopes for walker - that guy was a true talent

[FeartheSpur]

raysor was nothing anyways

[Mecklenburg Cock]

Good post! We need to temper our expectations after our 5 game skid at the end of the season.

[cocky2007]

If we get Streeter and Sutton we'll be top 25 with no problem. Even if we don't, our average star ranking is still solid and we filled some needs, so it's a decent class.

[gamecockphan]

Diappointed in the way we closed missing out on a lot of big prospects, but I do agree that the avg star rating is good and that this is a solid class. Won't know for sure until 2 years from now.

[Indiana Gamecock]

I have not read through the whole thread, but it is my understanding that DL Moore has not decommited as of yet but waivering a bit. From what was said on the radio the staff feels as though he will still sign with USC tomorrow.

The last time I checked a Coach can't Commit or Decommit for a recruit. Not to mention if the Coach is the Father of a kid that just commited to Colorado. We'll most likely find out tomorrow.

[UgSaCmecocks]

let it go or better yet if that is where he wants to be then so be it!
We will win with or without him!! Better Days ahead...
hopefully tommorrow!!
