The 2013 Graveyard Thread

Ok a serious question, what exactly do you need to get admitted to USC? The guy went to Louisville, was going to Arizona and played for a Junior College? My gosh, we don't need him to be a doctor, stick him in hotel management and let's call this a day.

I dont like that were having to deal with this crap

[Kickerspl80]

As I posted a week ago, the staff has really, really picked up with Quinton. Quinton has narrowed it down to US, SoCal, and Oregon. He loves the staff and loves the idea of playing with JC. He says he talks to the staff almost every day but that SoCal has been on him the hardest. If this one comes down to proximity to home I think we can land this kid. He might be somewhat undersized as he is right around 200 lbs right now, but he can ball....

BTW, how nice is it to be in a kids final 3 with Socal and Oregon?

Do you know his announcement date?

[Kickerspl80]

He was talking about taking a visit Jan 24-25 and said he will most likely announce on signing day

[lilhornet]

If he is 200lbs now, he can easily be 210-215 by the time he enrolls.

Imagine our LB core with Powell, Bryant, Lewis, Cooper, Rainey and Holloman. The icing on top would be Ngakoue, who I feel pretty good about it.

Thanks this would be a great pick up.

[Kickerspl80]

I agree Hornet. If Powell is considered a 4 star LB by rivals then they ovbiously think he will impact a team regardless of his size. He can apparently ball with the best of them.

If we have Powell/Lewis/Cooper/Bryant as our inside LBs then I think we are in better shape at LB than most believe

Not to mention we have Diggs at Spur with Commara and another SPUR to back him up next year

[MillerTime843]

Is Powell an UA All-American

[Kickerspl80]

I dont think so. Hes barely in the Rivals 250 i think

Welp, after looking it seems as he will play OLB for the White squad. He is 209 overall on Rivals. Heres the link of the whole team

Wiggins and Rollin are two others

I believe you're thinking of Clarence Bailey.

He was the OLineman that just needed "one more math class" to qualify. I'm not sure if he even played anywhere else..

All schools in the Technical College system in the state have a transfer agreement with the public four year schools, including Clemson and USC, and they also transfer to out of state colleges. Many students attend the Technical schools because it is at least less than half the cost of the four year schools, and then they transfer in to other schools after two years. There are some, though, that use it to get qualified for USC and other schools, as in the case of Golson? Also, many regular four year college students attend summer classes at TEC. I was told that the education is as good or, in some instances better than the four year schools. I know because I have friends who attended Trident Tech in Charleston, and transferred to CoC, which is harder to get into than USC.

BTW, a lot of Citadel cadets attend Trident Tech in Charleston during the summer. The Citadel has an engineering program agreement with them, along with Clemson, and USC. Since Trident Tech is one of the biggest schools in the state, they have a lot classes to offer.

he went to Ville as a "partial qualifier" and was still not allowed to stay there because of the NCAA. He was going to Arizona because the P12 does not have the same requirements for JUCO's that the SEC has. This is the same reason that JUCO WR Jalen Strong has committed to Arizona instead of taking more classes to play in the SEC.

Aren't recruits allowed to initiate contact during dead periods?

[cockthehammer]

PK reporting he will visit us this month! One of his five officials! This is a great opportunity for him to come in and have a chance to start. I think we now only have three LB on the team now.
