Five more in this class.......? I hear Williams and Rodgers as one and two,but would we have room to take one of these top WR's? It seems like we really need 2 of these big time LB's first ....

It is true that people get tackled a lot in football, but to say that hit is just a hit is a bit flippant.

If that's your logic, I will trade you a Kia right now for a Audi since a car is just a car, right?

I see what you are getting at though, it was a perfect storm of circumstances for him, but this year a scrambling pass is just a pass but it essentially got Manziel a heisman.

Well put. Take away how insanely god-affirming awesome the Hit was and the circumstances preceding it, though, and look at the media firestorm it created. Players at the UA Game are being asked if they saw it what they thought about it. It spun the internet off its axis for 2 straight days and is the biggest story thus far of the bowl season. As great (and deserving) as DT's pass is, it's not having that type of cultural impact, and THAT's what's going to help recruiting. Even sweeter/more affirming that we actually won the game (and the manner we won). The Hit would've gotten tremendous play, but it wouldn't have been the force of nature it was had we not won. And we probably wouldn't have won if not for the Hit.

I'm not sure if we have room for that many more but it would be a monster haul if we can get Williams, Rodgers, Skai Moore (really like this guy), Yannick, and possibly Wiggins. Please pardon me for this, but I would be giddy.

Very well-spoken kid. Sounds like Mom and home are important. Sure hope we impress on his OV here! Would love to have this guy - sounds like a high-character kid as well.

Love the optimism.

Pharoh, Devin Washington, David Williams, Kelsey Griffin, Larenz Bryant, and Camara for me.

just off the top of my head

Williams, Rodgers, Ngakoue and 1 (pick em) more. Scratch Golson, apparently he is no longer at GMC.

[Herbie3]

Can't we add someone since Lattimore isn't returning? Who get his scolly?

[gocockswyn]

Clowney is soooo much fun to watch. He makes big plays and looks like he is having the best time doing it. I love watching Gamecock football and he has stepped it up with the hits and leap frog jumps over Offensive players.

[SC Sandlapper]

I am just sorry none of the TV coverage brings up the previous gonad hit as the motivation, everyone makes it all about the blind guy in the striped shirt and white hat.

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- ESPN 150 cornerback Shaq Wiggins (Tyrone, Ga./Sandy Creek) has been committed to the University of Georgia for more than 10 months, but when asked this week at Under Armour All-America Game practice about his future, Wiggins did not sound so certain about his plans.

“I am still committed to UGA, but there is a very good chance that if I don’t go to Georgia, that I go to South Carolina,” Wiggins said. “After that it is Ole Miss, then Florida, then Texas A&M.”

The Gamecocks have emerged as a true threat to steal Wiggins, the No. 5 cornerback prospect in the country, from the Bulldogs.

I think it was a counter or trap handoff. Tackle and TE were suppose to block down and the FB was suppose to fill the hole they left. Problem was the TE went to block down on Clowney, and he was long gone. Same thing happened with Murray and UGA last year on that final screen play. They had no idea he was really THAT fast.

Hype about what? It's not like he's an uncommitted prospect who still has an announcement to make.
