If u can get both get them because I promise u by the end of the season u will not have HEALTHY 6rb's on the roster. If a guy can play and puts in the effort he can see the field. doesn't matter how many guys are at his position. If this program is ever going to win anything they have to start looking at recruiting a little bit differently than they are now. Depth is the name of the game.

Saw on Twitter that he is saying he will have a "difficult decision to make" after he has his ACL surgery this week.

This is not good. Not good at all.

Saw this on Mike Farrell's Twitter.

A&M or USC....give them the edge bc they recruited him hard, but if Wiggins & Williams want to play together....Carolina is the place to do it.

[Makindough]

Wiggins ain't leavin uga

[Metalrush24]

If that's the case then we need to make him a large priority.

[DawginCola]

We don't disclose the names of our bagmen.

[garnet_black215]

Do not have a good feeling about this. For someone who was 100% committed here, this is not good.

[KaneisAble]

Yeah, I think he's gone. Why it's so hard to deal w/ FL, UGA. (Not to mention Bama, LSU.) rich stay rich and get richer. Why Florida bounced back so quickly. Haves will keep having.

I understand the kids would like to take a free trip, but once you're committed you shouldn't take any more offical visits. It does make you wonder about his sincerity or committment level.

[garnet_black215]

Hope the coaches are still after Ngaouke. Looks like we might need him.

Is that you Dabo?

I love how every year people say stars dont matter, yada yada yada...Of course, when it comes down to who holds the crystal at the end of every year, it is teams that recruit better than we do.

I'm very happy with the past 2 years but for those of you who think we should be doing better, then look no further than recruiting. I won't EXPECT anything better than 9-10 wins and a "shot" at the East until we start ranking in the top 5 in recruiting. You can only "coach em up" so much...

The guy's twitter name is usc9 isn't it? He has been stating his love of the Gamecocks for months, but now all of a sudden he is telling this douche that he has a hard decision all of a sudden. I have no problem with guys taking trips and seeing different schools but some of these college recruits are so damn wishy-washy.

[EveryThingGreen]

I think you guys forget, these are 17-18 year old KIDS. They are impressionable. He just got back from a visit to UF - a great football program and school, where he got red carpet treatment.

[Metalrush24]

yeah.. I think if we can get that to wear off then we'll be able to firm him up

[SamAdamsCockyAle]

He is still a kid so not surprised he is wavering some. Don't think the "difficult decision" part leaves us dead in the water either.

Weren't you the one saying the visit was no more than wasting Florida's money and no big deal? Little bit more to it huh?

[phdnumbaone]

Why does it seems like only our commits get lured away, but we can never get any commits from other schools unless there's a coaching change? sigh

The thing that gets me is that players don't seem to have any problem wasting the time of coaches and schools.

Player X commits to School Y and stays committed for months, during which time the coaches at School Y naturally stop pursuing other players that play Player X's position. Then, in the eleventh hour, Player X decommits, leaving the coaches at School Y scrambling to fill his spot. This seems really immature and seflish to me, but players do it over and over again.
