4gamecockfb · 01-03-2013, 01:40 AM

he reminds me alot of norwood. especially the motor

A few on here think he starts out at LB, then move to the DL next year or so.
At 260, somebody must think he can run or he wouldn't be getting this look in the all star game. If this kid can play, he would be an absolute run stopper, and I wouldn't want to be running any short crossing routes either.

Is David's speed comparable to Norwood or Brinkley.

Being brought in as a MLB. Is about 250 lbs and supposedly runs in the 4.7 range. Compares favorably to Brinkley to me. HS Coach says he has a non stop motor.

Glamcock · 01-15-2013, 04:28 PM

I've heard they definitely plan to start him at MLB. He's quick and explosive, and does run similar to Brinkley. One of the underrated prospects, out of a few, in this class.

One of USC's longest standing commitments is DE David Johnson of Lithonia, GA. He pledged to the Gamecocks in May and has held firm. He made his official visit to USC last weekend and will take an official visit to Vanderbilt this weekend. "It's the excitement of being able to go," said Lithonia assistant coach Lloyd Morrison. "With him committing so early, he alienated himself from the entire process. He asked if he could do Vandy. They are going to do what every school will do, but he's solid with what he's going to do. David has been a commitment in his mind and heart to South Carolina since the 11th grade. South Carolina was in on him early and they've never wavered. Coach Spurrier and coach Ward told him he's got to be ready to go as a true freshman." Johnson's mother will go on the trip with him along with Morrison and head coach Marcus Jelks.

Soooo Franklin gets to pitch to mom, head coach, and I'm guessing position coach?

Thats worrisome.

Mick Chicken · 01-25-2013, 11:36 AM

yikes

Mick Chicken · 01-25-2013, 11:37 AM

Franklin would LOVE to steal this guy from USC

MikeTrainNC8 · 01-25-2013, 11:39 AM

Agreed^

The end of this recruiting season will either be amazing or a big disappointment.

CoverTwo · 01-25-2013, 11:39 AM

Yep especially because we probably made his head explode over Diggs and Moody.

I would settle for a nice, quiet ending. No big deflections..a couple more nice pickups...and strap em up for 2014

Does the school pay for all them to go on the OV, or just the recruit and family/parents.

CoverTwo · 01-25-2013, 11:43 AM

I believe its the recruit and one family member

sc455 · 01-25-2013, 11:45 AM

i gotta say all is fair in recruiting and turnabout is fairplay. i am a big fan of it though, i am a big fan of it turning in our direction.

Vandy winning 9 games was huge for them. they have good program going on and they will be a threat from here on out.

So the two coaches are paying their own way. I have a problem with high school coaches going on these trips with the recruits. If I'm a player on the high school team and the coach has gone on a couple of these other other kids but not me, I'm not happy about that.

No worries here IMO
