TBS has a new article on him. Said he should have a final choice between USC and Florida soon. Up in the air according to the article.

Ummm..I'd venture a guess that at least 75% of our incomiing class has tattoos. And at least 75% of our current team does, too.

I think Rolin switching is a strong possibility. He is not answering calls from SC media guys but does a full article for the Gator Media. I can also tell you that their board is already talking about how they turned a 3rd generation Gamecock. Not sure what's going on with Rolin but sounds like to me he is far from firm to us.

If we lose Rolin, I expect us to pull a full court press on him.

Then we need the silent majority to step up and drown out those few on his twitter, and tell him how much we want him in Columbia....

[USCGrad2003]

My opinion is this... he knows how much we want him here. Not going to beg him. He can play wherever he wants. It's his decision. Wherever he decides, I wish him the best of luck but there are plenty of kids who WANT to play for us. Best of luck to Matt but I would rather focus on the guys who mean what they say and say what they mean.

I'd take the chance on the kid... He has some of the most impressive film I've ever seen(that being said, I don't watch a lot of film of kids who arent USC targets). To me, he was just as dominant as Clowney and not as big so that was super impressive. I could only think he looked like a pitbull out there. crazy talented.

[DawginCola]

I'll say this about Foster, I don't think he's one of those kids who is just bad to the core or a thug POS (for those of you who might frequent the SECrant), he's just a kid with no real guidance from home and pretty easily manipulated. He has no real father figure, the closest thing it (former Coach Flowers at Troup HS) was canned for allegations of recruiting players, and he's kind of looking for that; that's one reason Auburn was such a big draw with their whole "family" pitch. I feel bad for him, really.

There are alleged improper benefits from Trooper and Co, that much is true, but I don't think this is really a "highest bidder" deal. There are character concerns, but this kid isn't a hardened criminal...I just think he lacks a little judgment. If he can get his head on straight then he'll be a special player, where ever he lands.

I think that the WR coach at UT wasn't retained. I guess that's good news for us.

It says that people are reading to much into the Florida @4/7 article, and he has spoken two sources one inside USC, and one outside...both said he will stick with USC

[DawginCola]

He was retained but I think they moved him to QB coach in hopes of bringing in Tee Martin to coach WRs.

[b381l]

Per TBS, the WR coach was not retained. Only Jay Graham stays.

[MillerTime843]

Y'all worry to much!

[DawginCola]

The Vol fans all say Hinshaw was retained but moved to QB's.
