Streeter Taking It Slow

By Phil Kornblut
WR Tommy Streeter (6-5 200) of Miami is not rushing the recruiting process. "I haven't been thinking about recruiting," Streeter said. Streeter is not even positive about all of his offers. Some of the ones he could indentify were USC, Boston College, Miami, North Carolina, Minnesota, South Florida, Central Florida, Florida International, Connecticut and Rutgers. He also is hearing from Florida State and Pittsburgh. Streeter said he gets mail every day from USC. "Sometimes I call coach "G" (Robert Gillespie), and he texts me too. I like South Carolina. I know they throw the ball and it's my job to catch it." Streeter does not have a favorite. He is not going to any camps or making any unofficial visits this summer. Last season he had 55 catches for 804 yards and 14 touchdowns.

My man needs to eat some butter milk bisquits...200 on 6ft 5 is a little light....

[Six Stars]

For what it's worth I heard Miami. And sooner rather than later.

[happygilmore527]

That's not surprising since the guy is from Miami. Thanks for the input...

[NYGamecock]

Great size for a WR, and some time with Mark Smith and he could be great! So many receivers and great prospects out of Florida. It will be interesting to see how many will be snapped up by the Florida teams (UM, FSU, UF) and how many will be left for the rest and out of state teams. Hopefully Coachs Gillespie and Reaves can convince some of these kids to come develop a long lasting legacy of building a winner at Carolina.

Looks like we stand a pretty good chance at him.

[Ga_Gamecock]

thats not too light for a Sr in HS WR... I mean Sid was about 6-4 210 when he left here as a soph in college, wasnt he ...?

[CoverTwo]

Yeah I heard he is a Cane unless their offense sputters.

[willy]

Yeah I heard he is a Cane unless their offense sputters.Is there any new news on him?

Streeter Has Second Visit Planned

By Phil Kornblut
WR Tommy Streeter (6-5 200) of Miami has scheduled an official visit with South Florida for January 11th. He has visited Boston College and will set an official with USC. Streeter also said Oregon is a possibility for a visit. He's not sure about his remaining two trips. Streeter talked with USC recruiter Robert Gillespie Monday. "He plans to come in next week to meet with my parents," Streeter said. He does not claim a favorite.

[gamecock3252]

have we heard andything on gillespie visit?

[sc455]

i saw streeter play on tv as a junior in a championship game. he was one of the best receivers i have seen in h.s....i hope we land him because he will be playing in the NFL.

[roosterrizk1]

Everything I hear is he is going out of state. Guess we'll see.

[Gamecock_Aholic]

6-5....wow that would be nice

[JAYBEZ]

There is an article on rivals that talks about Coach G's visit with him yesterday. I don't have a membership, so I can't summerize for you.

[Gamecock_Aholic]

well. i read that article on rivals. and all im gonna say is he seems to like us a lot.

[foezopen]

For what it's worth I heard Miami. And sooner rather than later.


But NO :cigar: .....SO WE HAVE A CHANCE DONT WE SIXSTAR???

[big cock fan]

well. i read that article on rivals. and all im gonna say is he seems to like us a lot.


I read it also and i believe the same thing. He does like us alot and i think we will continue to be a major player with him. He said he wants a good qb and a good system. Well miami sure doesent have that, there offense is terrible!!

I hope we can sway him.

[ra742002]

what makes you think we have a good QB? I haven't seen him.

[The Dude]

what makes you think we have a good QB? I haven't seen him.

better prospective QBs on our team than on Miami's team.

Plus...Shannon being a defensive minded coach couldnt hurt our chances...

[Juice4Bruce]

what makes you think we have a good QB? I haven't seen him.

and maybe the fact that we have a rising RS Freshman and RS Sophomore QB that have not begun to show there potential??..2 good freshman coming in as well??

[big cock fan]

i thought chris smelly did a great job. he had a terrible oline and not much to throw to at that point. Put him up again any other freshmen qb besides OU's and i think he did pretty damn well. its just that people like you expect guys to be heisman contenders there first year. thats why i already feel bad for garcia because no matter what he does it wont be good enough for people like you.

I think we have a great shot here at tommy, and hope he sees our potential.

[hellraiser24]

my only problems with smelly is that i am worried about his strength on the deep ball, and worried when he said he was afraid out on the field in the ut game

[Gamecockfanatic4]

my only problems with smelly is that i am worried about his strength on the deep ball, and worried when he said he was afraid out on the field in the ut game
he'a a freshman he'll get over that and his arm strength is 2nd best on the team only to Garcia. He will be fine and hopefully turn out to be a great QB here

[ShutTheSuccop]

I thought this thread was about Streeter...

[gamecockfinatic2007]

he'a a freshman he'll get over that and his arm strength is 2nd best on the team only to Garcia. He will be fine and hopefully turn out to be a great QB here

i thought beacher had the 2nd strongest arm to garcia.

[Gamecockfanatic4]

i thought beacher had the 2nd strongest arm to garcia.
idk I could be wrong or it could just be really close between Chris and Tommy in that compettition :)

[gotrice?]

he'a a freshman he'll get over that and his arm strength is 2nd best on the team only to Garcia. He will be fine and hopefully turn out to be a great QB here

Well you see the problem with him having the 2nd best arm strength to Garcia is that its a distant 2nd best. Garcia has an absolute cannon from everything I've seen in his high school film and Smelley doesn't come near that. I like Smelley I think he is a good backup QB. I don't think he is a conference winning QB though. I think Garcia has that potential but we will see what happens when they step out on the field next fall. Personally I think Garcia runs away with the starting job.

[87Cock09]

Theres no way Smelley has a stronger arm than Beecher, unless he just chooses to float the ball in games for some reason.

[roosterrizk1]

Smelley should be allot stronger by next year but I agree Garcia - on paper at least - has all the tools. He was very very impressive in the Rivals All Star game when he played against some top notch competition.

[bhusc2002]

I thought this thread was about Streeter...
so did i

[big cock fan]

how can u tell after a kids freshmen year that he can be a all conference type a player? THE KID WAS A FRESHMAN!!!! why cant people realize that?

And if we get tommy streeter it wont matter who has the strongest arm its just who can throw it the highest lol

[Gamecock_Aholic]

i guess people think every freshman is gonna play like sam bradford or something

[Will4144]

Most freshmen aren't 21 either.

[blaze]

LOOK AT THE TITLE OF THE THREAD!!!!

this is the Tommy Streeter thread, a highly rated receiver that we have a chance to garner a commitment from.

not an arm strength comparison thread, if you want that, you can start one in the main forum

Gillespie Makes Big Impression On Streeter

By Phil Kornblut
On Recruiting
Published: December 4, 2007

WR Tommy Streeter (6-5 200) of Miami had an in home visit with USC recruiter Robert Gillespie last Thursday, and the visit further enhanced his strong feelings about the Gamecocks. "Coach Gillespie just talked about what the city of Columbia has to offer and how good of a person Steve Spurrier was," Streeter said. "He talked about not just the football program but the school itself and the athletic department. He told me how coach Spurrier is not there for the money but how he wants to wina national championship with the Gamecocks. That made me smile. When a coach puts his heart into a team like that, when he gives so much, it's special." Streeter will visit USC and is looking at January 18th right now for the visit. Streeter has made an official visit to Boston College and is scheduled for one to South Florida January 11th.

I really hope we land this guy. If Streeter commits, along with the Whitlock commitment, we could have a very good offense.

[big cock fan]

If we land this guy, with Whitlock and TJ we will have a very very solid WR class thats following an exceptional one. I cant wait to see what our team looks like in 2 years.

This kid has torn up the most athletic state in the country, he is not just tall but has great hands and is a great route runner at his height. I would love to have this guy.

If streeter commits, our wr's would look like this, Mark Barnes 6'3", Jason Barnes and Joseph Hills 6'4", Tommy Streeter 6'5". Add Whitlock as a speedy slot receiver, along with Lecorn and Clements. We are loaded at wr.
:woo:

Loaded on paper you mean, right? The only guy you listed who has proven himself at the SEC level is Lecorn.

[mjmiller]

Well uh, two listed are not even enrolled yet, and every other one was a true freshmen this past season. For god sakes dude, Hills, J Barnes, and Clements had injurires, therefore we went ahead and redshirted them. It's kinda hard to prove you are "SEC level" when you are hurt. Give em some time to learn the system, and get faster and stronger.

[bgallup]

How does 2tds and 300yds prove yourself at the SEC level?? We have plenty of talent at WR and they will grow and learn the system and some will prove to be great!

[usc1]

We need Streeter. He's a big playmaker.

:woo:

Exactly, i say streeter is the last WR i mean good god we arfe going to have to put some WRs on the line soon they are taking over our team. If our offensive line has consistently SUCKED the past 5-10 years, then why arent we focusing on 4 star OL. I just wish we would focus on our weaknesses instead of our areas that are already LOADED( DL, DB, WR).

[AZTECGAMECOCK]

we need this kid too. He has good size. Hope he knows how to use it. This would give us another weapon at wide receiver.

[mjmiller]

I just wish we would focus on our weaknesses instead of our areas that are already LOADED( DL, DB, WR).

We are going after OL's Kenneth Page, Zebrie Sanders, RJ Mattes, David Spurlock, BJ Brand, Jonathan Cooper, and Steven Robinson. This is the Tommy Streeter Thread.

[roosterrizk1]

If you look at our Roster we have several OLineman that are Freshman, RS Freshman, and Sophmores. Some of you act like Spurrier hasn't been recruiting Lineman since he's been here.....????? If you give these kids enough time to mature we will be fine.

Sorry, back to Streeter.... He could be a special weapon in Spurriers offense. Keep in mind it takes a bunch of WR's to run the 4 and 5 WR sets to maximize the Cock and Fire's potential. I still think some of last years WR's end up on Defense.

[kickerspl20]

Maybe so, sorry, but all i seem to see on the recruiting pages are of skilled players. I saw one commit of an o lineman and thats it. I look at the top C,G, and OT that we are recruiting and they all say CLEMSON, AUBURN, FLORIDA, BC, TENN.... that kinda tells me something.

[kickerspl20]

but smash that, hope we get tommy streeter, he is a specimen and would be a nice compliment to dion and kenny

[Wazir]

We need all the help we can get in recruting and several coaching positions.
Probably pisses a bunch of folks off, but the damn truth remains the truth.

[kickerspl20]

where in aiken r u located wazir?? good to c an aiken guy/girl on here

[usc1]

Streeter has been compared alot lately to Randy Moss. Hell even Rivals compares him to Moss. Remember the last high school recruit compared to Moss? Sidney Rice

[roosterrizk1]

I am not talking about this years group of lineman. If we have to depend on this years crop of OLineman then were in trouble. I am talking about our last 2 classes of OLineman in particular. Go back and look. We recruited a ton of 3/4 star OLineman over the last couple of years.

OK cool. But if that was 2 years ago im pretty sure were due for another good OL recruiting year right?? Look im not gonna argue with u. Tommy streeter is good, and we would be lucky to have him

[mjmiller]

I just went on scout.com and looked at Streeter's teammates who are also seniors, and man he plays on one impressive high school football team. I think about four of his teammates have committed to play at Miami. I hope they aren't looking to play together.

[CaptainCrunch]

yeah lets hope not

[Will4144]

For some reason, I don't think he wants to be a Hurricane. I think it'll be a USC/USF battle.

[big cock fan]

the latest news is that he wants to get out of florida or thats just the impression he has been leaving on people. I think we have a great shot if he ends up getting out of florida. I think it goes down between us and oregon. He wants the ball in his hands and knows sos and his system.

And he comes from the number 1 highschool in the country, so yea i would say they are pretty good.

[Six Stars]

6 of his teammates are committed to Miami. He's not going to Oregon. Oregon is recruiting the QB of Northwestern because he is similar to Dixon and he wanted to take a trip there so Streeter went with. But he wont commit to the Ducks. None of those kids will.

[jaytda4th]

the SIX has spoken.

[Ga_Gamecock]

someone on here has hinted that streeter is his own person so im not counting him out

plus, he goes to a magnet school called Turner Tech, which allows its students play sports for another HS and Streeter plays for Northwestern

the kid must have some smarts ...


http://www.topix.com/forum/source/south-florida-sun-sentinel/T6EHIRFTN69QLR9TO

[FLgamecockJAX]

Mr. Streeter will make a great addition to DL Moore for this WR class. Streeter, DL, Whitlock and TJ Lawrence make another great class for WR.

Tommy and his Northwestern team won the state title this past weekend.

[gamecockfandrew]

Whitlock is a CB.

[FLgamecockJAX]

Whitlock is a CB.

Ok, I know what the recruiting databases say, but Whitlock said SOS recruited him to play WR. I guess time will tell.

[gamecockfandrew]

He's not going to play WR. He will be at CB.

[smoovecock]

He's not going to play WR. He will be at CB.....as flacock said...SOS has stated he will get a shot at both....and from guys who have seen him play several times......he is a get ball handler and has a lot of speed and vision......ie Culliver...

[Will4144]

He's not going to play WR. He will be at CB.

Maybe eventually. I know he is a lockdown corner, but Spurrier sees something in him as a WR. He will try Whitlock at WR first just like he did with Carlos Thomas, Mark Barnes, Chris Culliver, etc.

[LegalCock]

well we can certainly use another play maker or three at wide receiver.

[snoopcockycock]

how did a tommy streeter thread become a whitlock thread?

[big cock fan]

So how good of a year did streeter have? I know they won the state championship but i was wondering what his numbers were like and how he looked.

I guess six stars probably can give the most insight.

[Ga_Gamecock]

Maybe eventually. I know he is a lockdown corner, but Spurrier sees something in him as a WR. He will try Whitlock at WR first just like he did with Carlos Thomas, Mark Barnes, Chris Culliver, etc.
JMO, but i think Whitlock comes in on D 1st - just from what Ive read and what ive heard, but i see him as SOS' Litto Shepard @ UF. He was a great ath, a lockdown corner, had a handfull of plays at WR a game, and was a nasty PR guy ...

his latest quote was that the staff was talking to him about being used as a return guy and on O and D, so he will def get his touches ...

[ConwayGamecock]

So how good of a year did streeter have? I know they won the state championship but i was wondering what his numbers were like and how he looked.

The best stats I could find were on Maxpreps, that he had 44 receptions for 850 yards and 4 TD's. Not sure if they are final, or include the state champ. game. Keep in mind that Streeter missed some games due to injury earlier this season, and he wasn't even the top WR on his own HS team. That's not to say that Streeter is not talented or is overrated by any means - he is very talented - but he also played on the nationally #1-ranked HS team that was totally stocked with division 1A talent. His QB plus TWO other WR's are going to Miami, and his QB threw for nearly 4,000 yards this past season. There were probably 20+ players on his team that will end playing for D1-A college programs.....

I don't have a link at this point, but Charles Whitlock said that he was being recruited as a wide receiver, first and foremost. That's one of the main reasons he picked us over the other guys who were recruiting him for cornerback and wide receiver or just cornerback.

[cockyguitarist]

Yes, Whitlock is being recruited STRICTLY as a wide reciever and not gonna be playing Cornerback as so many people are thinking or "predicting." It's a possibility but he's gonna get the chance at Wide Reciever before he ever will at Cornerback.

[SClawman]

I think Whitlock even though he can go both ways will play receiver first too like Culliver last year. We know Spurrier's way of thinking.

But at some point, we have to figure that some of these "athletic" type guys will see the defensive side of the ball if they are never gonna see the field in our offense ala Mark Barnes, Culliver, etc. I'm not giving up on them contributing on offense but the number of receivers is becoming mind boggling. We can go 3 or 4 deep at the receiver positions but when you think about this past season, only McKinley, the Brown Brothers and Lecorn towards the end really played regularly at receiver. Hopefully next season, more of the young guys will contribute.

Just realized there's a thread addressing this subject on the main board. Whoops.

[FinchMcCrunkNasty]

Little known fact about Streeter. He doesn't attend the school he plays for. He attends a private school with no football team and is allowed to play on that team he played for. That is a huge reason we are leading for him and the rest of his teamates are going to Miami. He only sees them on the football field, not at school!

[snoopcockycock]

streeters stat's are still nice, considering that he was injured for several games, and played hurt in several more.

no one on this board can say with any respectability that whitlock is being recruited strictly as a wr! that is bullshit! sos himself said that whit would get a chance on both sides of the ball. and anyone who has followed his career, knows that he is a much better db than he is a wr. sos said he would get a shot at both, and none of us know what is going to happen in the future. that being said, if i was a betting man, i would bet big, that he will be a db in his first year of actual real game experience. only time will tell.

He said the reason he chose South Carolina was because we were recruiting him as strictly as wide receiver. Read a little on the topic before you decide to reply, please! I believe Whitlock will end up at CB, and I believe he's a better CB than WR... BUT! Steve Spurrier recruited him as a WR, so I must be wrong. Whitlock will try out at WR, and if that doesn't work out, he will be a CB. Plain and simple.

[sc455]

....as flacock said...SOS has stated he will get a shot at both....and from guys who have seen him play several times......he is a get ball handler and has a lot of speed and vision......ie Culliver... nm

[big cock fan]

i dont think CC cares where he plays he just wants to play. He didnt choose us because we offered him at WR he chose us because he was comfortable with our coaches and wanted to be close to home.

I have read where he will start out at WR but possibly play obvious passing situations for man coverage.

But either way who cares, we just need this kid on the field.

[Gamecocks4ever]

[PierceCock]

Streeter and Moore are some tall freaking receivers. throw in lawrence and man do we have a rediculous amount of potential there, that spurrier can play with. It's almost not fair to anyone else, as long as the qb's can get them the ball. Streeter has good makeup and knows how to win, obviously.

[jstrom]

Been a couple of responses in a row with mention of Whitlock...so bump.
Whitlock...Whitlock...Whitlock...Cornerback, PR, WR, Whitlock, whitlock, Whitlock. Streeter? Who's that?

[Will4144]

Tommy Streeter is the man.

[PierceCock]

Tommy Streeter is the man.

and this is a Tommy Streeter thread not a Charles Whitlock thread. So yeah Tommy Streeter is pretty damn good.

[rnecavs07]

so did he commit to us or not...im confused

[Will4144]

so did he commit to us or not...im confused

He didn't commit, but I thought I'd turned the thread back into the Tommy Streeter Thread.

[blaze]

Tommy Streeter, if he chooses us, will make a nice addition to our receiver core. I am excited that TOMMY STREETER may choose to come to USC

[Ga_Gamecock]

It would be nice for garcia and smelley to have a 6-6 WR to go after the goal line jump ball ...

[jstrom]

It would be nice for garcia and smelley to have a 6-6 WR to go after the goal line jump ball ...

What? No Ried McCollum supporters/throw everyone else to the curb posts yet? Sorry...getting cynical on here lately.

[NXS]

What? No Ried McCollum supporters/throw everyone else to the curb posts yet? Sorry...getting cynical on here lately.
Unless our offense changes dramatically, Reid McCollum should have a great chance to work his way into a starting role. However, no disrespect to Reid or any other QB on the roster, but I think many are waiting to see what a mobile QB like Garcia will do in this offense.

Now back to Tommy Streeter. I can see why Spurrier wants this kid so badly. Besides being a definite go-to-guy between the twenties, with his vertical game, he sure would make the corner fade a high percentage completion. With this kid, red zone TD’s will be just a pitch and catch.

[Ga_Gamecock]

If SOS makes any adjustments to his O, IMO, it will be 5 or 6 QB run plays a game maximum ... I think Spurrier really wants a guy who can pick up 6 or 7 once protection breaks down but thats just my take.



Back to Streeter:

How many Scholies does Miami have to give this year? I checked out their rivals site and they have 28 verbals as of today, so they have to be close to full ...

anyone know?

Did you see how many lb's Miami has in the 08 class. Wow. But I hope they are full and cannot take Streeter.

[Gamecockfanatic4]

why does this matter? I thought he wasn't interested in Miami very much anymore and it was down to us, USF, and someone else that wasn't Miami I could be wrong though

[Will4144]

why does this matter? I thought he wasn't interested in Miami very much anymore and it was down to us, USF, and someone else that wasn't Miami I could be wrong though

You're right. It's pretty much a USC/USF battle.

The only reason Miami is still in the picture is because he has 6 teammates already committed there, including a QB, 2 WR, a LB, an OG, and a DT. Miami also has 5 WR's already committed to this year and brought in 4 last year.

USF has three committed receivers, but one has a low rating and the other two are JuCo's.

In all reality, it looks like USF has the inside track at Tommy Streeter.

[roosterrizk1]

Be absolutely shocked if Streeter ended up at USF. I also got to watch Northwestern in the Florida 6A Championship and saw nothing to NOT like about this kid. He looks big on the field and has great hands.

[jstrom]

I think an announcer said it very well during one of their earlier games this year. He said that USF was a place that caught a lot of the players who might be top tier players, but not able to qualify (or care to maintain) academically at other, more prominent programs.

[Ga_Gamecock]

In all reality, it looks like USF has the inside track at Tommy Streeter.

what?! says who? i didnt think they were a real factor...

[Ga_Gamecock]

Every recruiting blurb i have read about Miami has the name Michael Barrow over and over ... hes been a big factor in their success this year. the kids really seem to respond to him and his pitch

[atrain3067]

I remember Michael Barrow from his time w/ the Carolina Panthers. Good guy.

[Ga_Gamecock]

i didnt follow him much in the pros, but he was a force in college

[Will4144]

what?! says who? i didnt think they were a real factor...

I said that because USF is close to home, doesn't have any star receivers committed to this class, and is in his top 3.

I may be late, but help me out... did we get him? Streeter?

[Will4144]

I may be late, but help me out... did we get him? Streeter?

Not yet. I get more optimistic as each day passes that he'll join us.

[hayesnumber76]

thanks for the update. I hope he does, the more recievers, the happier spurrier is, the more we can get the ball in the air...

Streeter Hears From Gillespie (http://www.goupstate.com/article/20071226/PSPORTS02/430180205/-1/psports)

By Phil Kornblut
WR Tommy Streeter (6-5 200) of Miami talked with his USC recruiter Robert Gillespie on Christmas Day. "It was just a holiday call," Streeter said. He will make official visits to South Florida January 11th and USC January 18th. He has visited Boston College and is looking at Oregon and Connecticut for possible visits. Streeter said he has no favorite. He hinted he might be ready to make a decision after the USC visit. "I'll be close but I don't know if I'll be 100%," he said. Streeter's Northwestern High School team was named the #1 team in the country in the final USA Today ranking of high school teams.



Sounds real good for us.

still a good while before he might be ready to announce. I will try to stay unenthusiastic till then...

Just reading between the lines on that..I believe it's a dead period, where we can't contact recruits, but recruits can contact us. If they talked on Christmas Day, then Streeter likely would've had to be the one to make the call.

Could be a 6'5" Christmas present neatly wrapped up for Coach Gillespie...:wink: ...

"I don't have a problem with the (Gamecocks) coaches. I don't have a problem with my kid. I do have a problem with South Carolina and its admissions program." - Marty Lee, coach at First Coast High in Florida


Isn't that the coach who got caught cheating in the game at Lakeside HS in Augusta this year? On a pass play had his receiver run out of bounds and had another receiver way down the sideline finish the play? Hard to believe they only demoted him and cut his pay. The Bible says something about complaining about the speck in someone else's eye while there's a log in your own eye.

I believe that Bowman and Smith did not qualify by NCAA standards, not those of our university...
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but if that was the case like I seem to remember, then those two individuals' opinions of our admissions program would be irrelevant.

[Jubjub Bird]

I really hope we land this kid. A 6'6'' receiver with good hands and decent speed can make any QB look good.

But whether Streeter commits to us or not, Coach G seems to be an excellent, young recruiter. All the young guys that he recruits seem to have a real connection with him. Keep it up, Coach G!

[Ga_Gamecock]

i guess people think every freshman is gonna play like sam bradford or something
he was the exception for sure, but even he wasnt a Tr Fr, he RSed last year and got stronger, faster, and learned the O

I think you have it backwards. I believe both squeaked by the NCAA only to be denied by our board.

::EDIT::

here ya go ... this whole thing still pisses me off.

Smith is one of two members of the Gamecocks’ top-10 recruiting class who were denied admission despite qualifying under NCAA standards. Michael Bowman, a receiver from Wadesboro, N.C., plans to enroll at East Carolina after being turned down at USC.

[PierceCock]

Streeter has gamecock written all over him. I just cant see a physically imposing receiver like that heading off to the Big Least. He is an SEC guy, no doubt. If we don't get him, it better be Miami, cause USF beating us for any receiver is really a crying shame.

Streeter, Lawrence, and Moore....Gonna be another dynamic receiving class on paper......eventually somebody is gonna step in and play qb like a man, and when that happens with all these guys and last years guys, look out.

If we get all these WR's, plus last year's class, we will be loaded at WR. Hopefully a QB will step up this Spring and take the starting job. My concern is that the line of scrimmage needs to get better b/c that's where it all starts. Hopefully some of the young OL's will start to come along.

yeah. he broke his ankle (hairline) and then he reinjured his shoulder ...

ryan RSd this year. he made nice strides during his GS year, but this past summer he got sick and that set him back. once he was out of the rotation and lost some strength he was a RS lock. its prob a blessing in disguise. most strength gains for our guys will be made in the offseason anyway, so if he wasnt 100% ready in 07 im glad he RSd - no need to waste a year

Yeah, but the same person who said that is a (videotaped/proven) cheater! It's bad enough to cheat, but it's much, much worse to get your young, adolescent, completely impressionable STUDENTS to help you do it. 20 yrs from now, some of those same players (who were present and fully supported this guy at the hearings) may unfortunately still feel innocous to this type behavior. And this guy sits in judgement of ANYTHING Carolina??? What a joke.

False.

thats good to hear just Lawrence has been quiet and we'll know more after his visits then I guess

[roosterrizk1]

We need these WR's and then some. Coach would like to actually run his offense at full potential which is 4 and 5 wides. We need 10 WR's minimum. Also I have heard two WR's from last years class are headed back to D.

10 WRs?

are we going to run 10 wide?

garcias mobile, but hes not that mobile LOL

[roosterrizk1]

are we going to run 10 wide?

Its called depth. Spurrier will need depth to run 4 and 5 wide sets. At UF he played a ton of WR's to keep them fresh and to put constant pressure on the Defense. Most College Football Teams can go 3 maybe 4 deep on quality CB's but after that its normally a huge drop off. When you have 10 WR's and can run 4 and 5 wide sets you are able to keep your two deep fresh and are protected against injury. We need major depth to run Spurriers true offense, thats what I am saying, and Coach is getting it.

[Dr. Cock]

I'm not at all sold on this line of thinking.

What he said was true though. That was Spurrier's technique he used at Florida and that is the technique he is trying to establish here at Carolina. We're going to be picking up a good crop of WRs every class to maintain that depth.

So do I (trust SOS), but that doesn't mean I won't ever question him on something. You're right college & pro are totally different, trust me I REALLY know. Have to admit though, that Patriot offense is really something, huh? They pretty much do whatever they want when they want and use the same players to do it each & every game.

[roosterrizk1]

I'm not at all sold on this line of thinking.

Hard to believe we are going to be running 5 wide at USC but its coming. I know this has never been our way of thinking but do you think Coach is just bringing in all these WR's to run 2 and 3 man sets...NO. I think you will see USC start stretching the field more than ever with this group of WR's. Just wait and see thats all I will say. I think Garcia with his mobility will be able to buy time for the wideouts and we will see allot more deep routes in which is why we need WR depth. I am sure some will end up on D but we will need more WR's.....

[Will4144]

I'm not buying the Clements to CB until I hear something official. He was a high school QB/WR. He'd make a great corner, but I don't think if Spurrier is ready to give up on him at WR yet.

Mark Barnes was a superior safety in high school and I think we can use him at either WR or S.

In any case, TOMMY STREETER is going to be a great college WR for someone and I sure hope it's us!

Anybody have any actual news related to TOMMY STREETER?

Speculation about running 5 WR sets is cool and all, I'm just saying there is a forum for that too...

This is the soon-to-be-Gamecock Tommy Streeter thread dang it.

[Six Stars]

USC gets his last visit and Marcus Forston is going around the All American practices saying he thinks Streeter is heading to the Carolinas. What does that tell you?

Also, 10 scholarship receivers on the team isn't that much of a stretch. If you are running 4 and 5 receiver base sets on offense, then 30%-40% of the guys out there on every play are receivers. Yet 10 receivers would only make up 10% of your scholarships. So with Garcia's mobility you can afford to run 5 receiver sets frequently. Thats half the scholarship players on the field, leaving 2-3 to sub for fresh legs and replace injured players and 2-3 to redshirt each year.

NFL teams dont do it because they don't run 4 and 5 receiver sets. You can do that in college frequently. They also dont have 85 scholarships, they have around 53 spots on the roster and can only dress around 45 of them. Bad comparison.

[TStone]

After watching a couple of his HS highlight videos I'm convinced he's a taller version of Sidney Rice. In nearly every catch he goes up and get the ball at its highest point. He doesn't have outstanding speed, but neither did Sidney.... the boy simply has great hands and can outjump defenders.

I was wrong, but I still think Spurrier's air attack > Leavitt's option.

[CoverTwo]

T.J. is too smart to commit to a program that is about to turn into a rushing attack with about 10 pass attempts a game.
I seriously doubt that Rich Rod is going to throw less than 10 passes a game..I'll bet that he adjust his system just a bit because the defenses in the Big 10 are bigger, faster, and more physical (especially in the trenches) than the Big East..He will have to put the ball up at least 15 times a game.

[87Cock09]

According to the rivals Miami site, Streeter has decided to take a visit to Miami. He will visit the weekend before NSD after his USF visit. I still think Miami is the team to watch out for.

That doesn't sound good for us if he is suddenly setting up visits with schools elsewhere. That could possibly mean that he didn't like what he saw during the visit.....

I think this is right Scout must have put it down wrong they have him visiting ole miss lol
He was going to visit Ole Miss. Apparently he just decided today he was going to visit Miami instead. This doesn't sound good at all for us. All the Miami guys also think he is going there.

[87Cock09]

Now there is another place saying that he isnt going to visit Miami lol and that they are not even on his list. Who knows I just hope we land him.

[roosterrizk1]

Isn't Coach Gillespie his Recruiter. I think Coach G does a good job closing his kids. We will see.... Streeter is a stud ....

[papasmurf]

Streeter is big,fluid and smooth...long wingspan,excellant hands,smooth route runner,can make the first defender miss,vertical threat,plucks the ball at its highest point,some acrobatic playmaking ability in traffic.
Tommy struggles at times to separate on vertical routes but uses his body to shield the ball from defenders...he is lean and needs to add upper-body strength to become more physical.
Tommy has natural tools and I hope he wants to be a Gamecock.

Streeter Visits USC

By Phil Kornblut

WR Tommy Streeter (6-5 200) of Miami made his official visit to USC over the weekend. He said the visit went well and it gave him the chance to spend time with his sister who lives in Columbia. He also took a closer look at the Gamecocks' offensive scheme. "I just liked the whole offensive scheme," he said. "Coach Spurrier Jr. showed me the entire thing. I like him because he's so energetic. They are sitting pretty high. I had a very good visit." Streeter will visit South Florida this coming weekend andhe might visit Miami February 1st. Gamecock head coach Steve Spurrier will make his in home visit Thursday.

[eklypised]

^^That does sound pretty good..hopefully he will be a Gamecock

[garnet4ever]

Streeter Decision Not Far Off

By Phil Kornblut
WR Tommy Streeter (6-5 200) said Monday night he might have his decision before the end of the month. Streeter met with his recruiter from Oregon Monday night. This past weekend he made his official visit to USC. "It went nice, lovely, I was able to learn a lot," he said. "I really like how much help they give you in getting your degree. Coach Spurrier Jr. showed me a lot of film about what they like to do with their receivers." Gamecock head coach Steve Spurrier will make his in home visit Thursday. Streeter has visited USC, Boston College and Oregon. He will visit South Florida this weekend. He's scheduled to visit Miami February 1st but he's not sure he'll make it. Streeter said he's still considering all five schools and doesn't have a favorite.

Bump.

whats new with this guy

His hair is a little longer, he's a little older, and a little wiser... so I guess that makes him a little closer to being a Gamecock.

Streeter Enjoys South Florida Visit

By Phil Kornblut
WR Tommy Streeter (6-5 200) of Miami made his official visit to South Florida over the weekend and got a good look at what the Big East program has to offer. "The first day we went to the ABC studio and got a tour," he said. "I'm interested in television and broadcasting. A lot of people from South Florida get internships there. Then we went across to the stadium and they showed us where we eat, and the lockerrooms, and where our parents seats. We went to dinner and John Gruden walked in and talked to us. He was with one of the band members from AC/DC. The next day we toured and saw the academic facilities. We went to the team banquet Saturday night at Busch Gardens. And I talked to the coaches this morning. I talked to coach Leavitt." Streeter is scheduled to visit Miami this coming weekend but said he's not sure about that trip right now. He also has visited USC, Oregon and Boston College. USC head coach Steve Spurrier is scheduled to make his in home visit Tuesday. Streeter said he does not have a favorite.

Gruden's hangin' out with AC/DC? Pretty cool.

[MACXIMVS]

great

[gotrice?]

We really could use Streeter. I personally think we need to land Streeter, Lawrence, and Harbin/Quinn to make this class solid.

[ShutTheSuccop]

would not hold your breath on harbin or quinn...streeter, who I thought was a silent commit is now hedging..it is hard to lure these guys to SC from a distant location. Like someone said in another thread, if we can't fill out this class this leaves more schollies for next year and if we have the kind of year this coming year that we all hope that we will have, then more top guys might want to come here next year and we will have more room...maybe I am looking for the silver lining...it just seems that our recruiting season is mirroring our football season

[87Cock09]

Where have you heard that Streeter is hedging?

[blaze]

He is reading into Korn's report

[uscnoklahoma]

The kid is a Florida kid....USF is a nice Florida campus with great weather. It's going to be a hard sell for us. Hopefully, Spurrier can close the deal on his in home visit.

[Gamecockfanatic4]

I think we get him

[ShutTheSuccop]

I hope that we get him too, but I think that it is going to take one hell of a sales job by SOS...his late visit to USF scared me, I would feel a lot better about him coming here if he had not taken that visit

If he wants to play in the best conference in football against the best players then he needs to come here. The SEC is a MAN'S conference.

Preach on brotha...maybe you should head down with SOS as well!!!! I just can't imagine being a high class athlete and then passing up the SEC...

If he wants to prove himself then he needs to come here. The only reason I can see him going to USF is to be closer to home. I wish some players in SC would stay closer to home. Like in COLUMBIA!

[SC Sandlapper]

AC/DC, big damn deal. Time to call out Hootie.


By the way, we have a kick ass broadcasting school too.

[roosterrizk1]

He's not going to USF ....

[uscnoklahoma]

He's not going to USF ....

Well it must be us then cause it is down to us and them. :thumbsup:

I wonder what last year's WR class will have on his decision. We are loaded in that area.

[Cohiba Devil]

It's not over yet....

Tommy Streeter is the number one prospect on the USFNation Hot 20 and was in Tampa this weekend for his official visit. Find out what made the visit special and what effect it will have on his decision.

[Will4144]

Streeter said his visit "went well"... if they threw all of that at him and it still doesn't make him commit, I think it bodes very well for us.

The Dude is the Truth.... Nice video Ga .....

[IOPCock]

He really took it to those Texas boys

[cockyguitarist]

Damn that video really makes me want this kid, and if we do somehow get him (knock on wood); then he and Miles will be the two I look forward to seeing play the most out of this whole class. What I love about thsi guy is not only does he have a great hands, he also is a jumpball guy AND he is a dang roadrunner on the field and seems like a good bunner; not to mention the fact that he does have some of that never give up on a play attitude we've seen in Corey B as well as Dion L. And I think we really need a burner at wide reciever cause I dont think we really have that right now, let any one that has all the above attribute in one person. Hope he comes here to the fun n gun!

[Regalcock]

Great video thanks.:spurrier:

This kid looks amazing. What is his weakness because he did everything in that video. Jump balls in the endzone, over the middle, fight for first down on short catches and take it the distance also. He is FAST and SMOOTH.

:thumbsup:

[87Cock09]

All the Miami guys I've seen have conceeded him, after they were saying as late as last week that they still had a great shot. Oregon and BC are def out. Its us and USF and I just can't see him choosing USF. I have actually heard he wants to get away and go out of state.

If we could close with Streeter, Sutton, Brown and Lucas that would be sweet. Of all of these Streeter made my number #1 wish, after this video.

[big cock fan]

this kid might not have a fast 40 time, but after about 20 yards this kid can fly. Once he gets in full stride there was no one that could catch up to him, what a great downfeild target.

GA thanks for the vid, another quality post.

[scrub146]

Sidney didn't have the fastest 40 time either! "nuff said"

[big cock fan]

I dont think u understand my post, i was meaning that this kid is a lot faster then his forty time. This kid is faster then Sid, but sid has something special that you cant put on a measureable list. Hope tommy has that, and so far it looks like he does.

Hope we get him.

[CoverTwo]

SOS & Gillespie have an inhome with Streeter (Thursday I think)...Its down to us and South Florida..We need to close the deal.

[ShutTheSuccop]

How can USF compete with USC? The Big East vs the SEC. I realize that it is a nice school and close to home, but the exposure of the SEC is huge. I think that it should be a no-brainer. We were on national TV so much last year and will be on many times next year. I could understand the decision if it was between Miami and USC, but come on Tommy...you are wanted in Columbia

[roosterrizk1]

Sidney had the ability to catch the ball at its highest point better than any WR in Carolina history. Sidney didn't have to be open .....

I could understand the decision if it was between Miami and USC, but come on Tommy...you are wanted in Columbia south florida has 48,000 students and is close to home. i believe they have everything to offer a student just like we do and it is 9 hrs closer to home. Yes, we have em beat but if you are looking to stay close to let your family play then we arent the answer. hopefully he wants the high level competition
