Agreed, if GB wants to be a Gamecock, you better take him!

The coaches know what they're doing. If they would rather have Williams over Bryant, than that is perfectly fine with me. Quit star-gazing and realize the coaches might think Williams is better. I trust their evaluations more than a recruiting service, and certainly more than random fans behind a keyboard.

Who cares if Rivals slapped five stars by Bryant's name? They slapped three stars by Devin Taylor, TJ Johnson, Shaq Wilson, and DJ Swearinger, and look at what those guys have done for and meant to this program.

Because he is not a home run hitter at RB. Williams is that an has solid size. Bryant isn't that and while I like him and would love to have him our coaches are picking between 2 damn good RB and are taking the one that has the style that helps us the most based on our roster. And you do not kick a commitment to the curb unless he is taking other visits so get that out of your head because if you do that it will cost you more prospects than you can count because your word becomes shit.

Every year with this shit.

You know Florida and Georgia have to turn away good players too, right? It's what happens at good programs.

Besides, I've never heard a single one of our coaches say he's not a take, so I hope to God that he's not reading this thread. If our coaches want him, then I want him.

[Acockolypse Now]

I hope Joe Harris makes it in.

BEAST.

It's about developing and coaching players, not star rankings. Obviously Duke, Southern Miss, Colorado, etc. don't coach and develop players as well as SEC schools.

I thought that was pretty obvious.

Who is the friend and will he come if USC gets the visit?

[garnet_black215]

I think it's something new. Two coaches visited with him today, so that may be what the update is about.

[lchite4]

Please take both. Move smith to cb, a need.

Thank you!

Just announced on TBS, JaQuay will visit Carolina this weekend.

[lchite4]

Alan Knott, a teammate. Shaq Wiggins also. Not sure if either will also come on same visit. I believe the story about Knott being a recruiter on 247 is about this, but I could be wrong. Not a member.

Very nice!

Alshon in HS. He gained weight when he got here. http://recruiting.scout.com/a.z?s=73...=1&nid=3550211 Profile says almost exactly the same things about this guy as Alshon.

What if the coaches don't want to do this?

You know, because it's ultimately their decision.

[MillerTime843]

I think Wiggins is visiting January 11th, but I could be wrong.

Either way, glad to hear Jaquay is visiting this weekend. Great news.
