We can only take 3, who's the odd man out and why. This is not a trick question.

My guess would be the first 2 LBs to commit and hold a spot for Bryant if he is a USC lock.

[b381l]

Yes absolutely. If we get these LB, it will go a long way to boosting Botkin's confidence. It will definitely be a big win for him as well as Carolina.

That's what I hope is going to happen.

Seems like Clemson competes with them a bunch too on recruits? Maybe this is just my perception and not a reality, but it is what it seems like to me.

It seems like we compete more against Auburn for guys than we do UNC, UGA, Tenn, etc.

we go after players we need.... regardless of who else wants them

[MillerTime843]

Because Auburn recruits heavy Georgia and Florida also....

[johnmcclane]

b/c LSU and Bama own Louisiana and Alabama

Ngakoue to spend weekend on decision
By Phil Kornblut

LB Yannick Ngakoue of Washington, DC remains up in the air with his decision between USC, Maryland and Florida State and will take this weekend to talk things over with his parents. "He'll make his decision with his parents Tuesday night or Wednesday morning," said Friendship Collegiate assistant coach Mike Hunter. Gamecock recruiter GA Mangus had one of the final in person visits with Ngakoue on Thursday. "They had a pretty good conversation," Hunter said. "He's not given out any indication. He's not leaned one way or another. He's not giving any indication, good, bad or indifferent. He'll take this weekend to sort things out." Ngakoue is scheduled to announce at his school Wednesday morning at 9:45 AM.

Not sure about this cycle, but I know that we compete with Auburn over a number of recruits in the 2014 cycle. Though, as it appears, not as much as we compete with Clemson and UGA. No surprise there, though.

Like I said, maybe it is just my perception and maybe that perception is wrong. It just seems to me that over the past few years Auburn is in on a lot of our recruits and Clemson's recruits more so than other schools right in our backyard.

But it could just be my perception.

Not sure what this has to do with my post. I didn't imply that we purposely picked schools to compete with.. I simply meant that it seemed like we ended up competing with Auburn for more recruits than we do other schools when you look at where they are located, etc.

[FanofCarolina1]

Well they almost got Latti....good thing they didn't because he was definitely a program changer for the better.

Carolina and Clemson both have been dealing with UF this year. We both lost guys to them.

C2 and ETG want to comment on this.....thanks.

Did Yannick get to see a game here this year? Curious as to whether or not he got to compare the game-day environment.

Walton has already told both schools who is the winner and the loser (which i understand we are the winner but anyway we know where we are with him). Bryant is a take no matter what. so the real question is what do Moore, Yannick and Lyons going to do? I hear Lyons isn't coming. I feel ifffy about Yannick. Moore is the more likely. The first one in is the winner of those and the rest are stuck unless Bryant doesn't come.

[b381l]

Longer he waits, the better it is for us. MD is the easy pick, but he hasn't made it yet. And you know he's hearing the news about Walton, Bryant and Moore.
Yannick, don't let the hometown crowd keep you making what you know is the right choice. And your parents will be happy to come see you play where ever it is.

Clemson had 4 guys over at his house for 3 hours tonight for an in-home including Dabo, Brooks, Venables, and Caldwell. Would love to be a fly on the wall to hear all the BS they tell him
