UGA would be the logical place, but logic escapes Foster. He really could start from day 1 for nearly every team in the country, so it is worth staying in touch w him.

[ReadR00ster]

Are we talking Lateek Townsend bad? It's great that he can start right away, but I don't think we are in dire need for a starting LB. We have guys that should be ready to start. So if he has issues, maybe he is not worth it.

[CoverTwo]

That is Shaq Davidson and USC is his leader. He has a USC offer and they want him.

We don't have any Lb's with much experience. So it's def a big need. Also like someone else said his talent far outweighs any problems he has.

[Roosterboy]

WR Corey Cooper has reopened his commitment.
I remember Connor Mitch was trying to get him to come here.
Any chance we make a push for him.

Also, looking at DB Shaq Wiggins, DL Keith Bryant and DL Deadrin Senat.

[Roosterboy]

What about Davon Durant at Greenwood.
Swearinger's cousin...I believe he plays DB and WR.
At the Shrine Bowl this week.

HAHA ohh Lateek. Glad he's been (and will continue to be) riding the pine.. if he can't get PT at Clemsux, dout he would have here. What a headcase.. fits in perfect with the taters

Shaq didn't want to play QB but realized that doing that was the only way he was going to get the ball in his hands. He's the only good receiver Gaffney has as well so it was kind of hard to judge just how good his passing skills were this past season. Not real tall at 6'1" but he does have excellent basketball skills (USC & Clemson offer in BB as well as football) so he's adept at positioning himself to get the ball. Really fun to watch in the open field and if he gets a half step he's gone. Some of his runs in scramble mode this year were phenomenol...much better than the runs in the state championship game. IMO he's ours.

That is accurate. Would have a ton of offers if not for academics. Should see him in Willy Brice soon enough if he takes care of his business. Kid is vicious just like Swag.


I got this from his page. Grades are the issue but glad USC is placing him.

And his Junior highlights are dirty. If we can land him and T. Googer I will be very happy. Funny that both actually played QB this season.

[johnmcclane]

i can think of another receiver from Gaffney who wore #4.

And dude can ball.

[carolina2010]

We've got plenty of young talent already on the roster.

[Reload]

Shaq Davidson, Braxton Berrios, Terry Googer would be a great haul for next year. Googer and Davidson are going to be stars IMO

Just finished a trip to Maryland and GCC says its safe to say he is a Mrayland Favorite :( He has 3 teamates commited to the terps and they are all in his ear

Maryland is a dumpster fire. Jesus.

[Gamecocks321]

If he goes to Maryland, he'll end up like Stefon Diggs. Solid recruit, will help out the team, but you won't hear much about him because of the team he plays for and the conference he plays for. He'll get 10x the recognition playing for us in the SEC.

When we tried to pass the ball in the redzone, it was very hard to find an open man, something that would be easier with a big target receiver. During the Spurrier era a tall receiver has flourished in the system, with the right work ethic, helping our offense to be successful. I hear K. Smith will be a gem for us next year, so hopefully that is true because Dylan and Connor need a tall target to throw to when the other guys can't get open.

Particularly in red-zone situations, I would offer these:

Kelvin Rainey (6-3, 219)
Busta Anderson (6-5, 218)
Jerell Adams (6-6, 224)
Drew Owens (6-6, 236)

I know all of these guys can't be on the field at the same time, and they probably wouldn't be best options for 50-yd streak routes, but they would be great for within the 20 yd line. All of them are faster, more athletic, and as good if not better receiving TEs than Cunningham is, which in the last 2 seasons became an impressive statement to make.

Add one of these guys with a 6-4 Brent or 6-4 Smith at WR along with Sanders and Ellington, and we'll have enough height at the receiver positions...

[CockTail]

The funny thing about the LB position is that it is so dependent on the DL to keep linemen occupied so they can make plays. It is the most dependent position on defense. Unless MD has some DL studs coming in, he will never be heard from again on that team.

So Mr. Ngakoue, which DL would you rather play behind, our or theirs?

Clowney, Sutton, Dixon, Dixon, Dukes, Griffin, and along side Bryant all 4 and 5 star players.
