Na'Ty Rodgers Thread (2013 Signee)

[CoverTwo]

I'd keep an eye on Mike Locksley (Maryland's ace recruiter) .. Dude is an absolute MONSTER on the recruiting trail. He probably saved Randy Edsall's job.

[Makindough]

I'm hearing he will be at UAB game

I remember in 2011 he had New Mexico very well in the game for Cyrus Kouandjio (sp?).

Hopefully we're able to hold him off and Na'Ty is a Gamecock.

Apparently he was he during the weekend & 247 has a little update about his experience. Anybody heard anything as to if he loved the visit?

[Reload]

We're still the big leader.
He's as close as you can be to actually committing without being a commit

[SwimCock]

Rodgers loved his visit as did his parents who joined him. they were impressed and got to meet with the coaches. He may be a silent commitment (I hope).

[Kickerspl80]

He's a gamecock. He's just waiting for the Semper Fi All star game to commit. He does like Maryland a good bit, but was quoted by 247 saying that the Gamecocks are way out in front but he will certainly take a few more trips.

[Acockolypse Now]

Hope our coaches can lock him down between now and the all-star game.

Have a good feeling here.

[USCBASEBALL1]

He is announcing at the All Star Game unless something changes.

[EveryThingGreen]

he had a big time visit to Oklahoma

[CoverTwo]

OL Na'Ty Rodgers of Pomfret, MD made an official visit to Oklahoma last weekend, his first official trip. "It's a good place," Rodgers said of Oklahoma. "It's a nice campus with nice facilities. A lot of their linemen are athletic." Rodgers said he sat down with Sooners' coach Bob Stoops on Saturday. USC was Rodgers' favorite prior to that visit and he says that's still the case. "I'm not thinking about it a lot," he said. "I'm going to let the buzz where off and wait a couple of weeks. South Carolina still leads. Oklahoma is second." Rodgers made an unofficial visit to USC earlier this month and will return for the Georgia game. He has no other visits planned.

How does a buzz 'where' off?

It's good to hear that we still lead!

OL Na'Ty Rodgers of Pomfret, MD made an unofficial visit to Maryland Saturday for the NC State game along with some of his teammates. "I didn't talk too much to the coaches," said Rodgers who was making his first visit since his trip to USC for the Georgia game. He last talked with Gamecock recruiter GA Mangus last week and has the Gamecocks strongly out in front of Maryland right now. "It's an 8.5 to a 9," Rodgers said in describing the strength of the USC lead on a scale of 10. He's also considering Michigan and Oklahoma. Rodgers plans to take his official visit to USC in December before Christmas. He said he won't announce a commitment until the Under Armour game.

OL Na'Ty Rodgers of Pomfret, MD was at USC for the Georgia game and is considering a return trip for this weekend's game with Arkansas. "I might come down if my dad wants to visit," Rodgers said. "I want my real dad to see South Carolina." Rodgers' father is former NFL defensive lineman Tyrone Rodgers and he lives in California. He is coming to Maryland this week. Gamecock recruiter GA Mangus was by Rodgers' school Thursday. Rogers last game visit was to Maryland for the NC State game. He still has USC as his favorite ahead of Maryland. He has taken an official visit to Oklahoma and plans to set up visits with USC, Maryland and maybe Michigan. He won't make a decision until after the season but before the all star games.

Landing this young man would cement a trend in our tackle/guard recruiting. The trend being guys that have nice length AND can still move their feet well. I know he's not 300lbs yet, but he has a hell of a frame. I'd expect a very mobile 6'5'' 290 lbs. by next Fall. Pretty useful package potentially right away. I just like that he's not limited by very much physically. One less thing that can go wrong in an O-lineman's development.

Also noticing from his vids he seems to be good at getting on the correct side of his man and sticking to him.

OL Na'Ty Rodgers of Pomfret, MD made an unofficial visit to USC this past Saturday with his father and older brother. It was his third unofficial visit to USC this season, and now his mother, stepdad and father have had a close up look. "It was good for him to be able to take a look around," Rodgers said. "It was the first time for him and my brother, and they really liked it." Rodgers said he talked with Steve Spurrier, Shawn Elliott and GA Mangus while on the visit. Rodgers has taken an official visit to Oklahoma and is set to visit Nebraska this weekend. He will visit Maryland December 8th, and his USC visit will be his last one in late December or January. USC is still the leader. "It's about the same," he said. "Nothing's really changed that much."

So we get the last crack at him (OV) and lead? Hope to seal the deal soon!

[Acockolypse Now]

Having that last OV is great.

I feel like we're in great shape here.

[Gamecocks321]

He really likes that Maryland is moving to the Big Ten. Should we be concerned?

I personally think he was being nice to his interviewer
