This video just proves to me that some pro team is going to get a great player. I hope he goes to the skins where he could be a perfect slot WR, pitchman in the zone read and kick returner. The absolute best place for him would be New England, could learn from Welker.

GOOD LUCK ACE!!!

When I read a post like this it absolutely gives me a great sense of inner
peace and excites me tremendously knowing that the person who posted
it has nothing to do with coaching our football team, and Spurrier and
his staff do.

Did you ever wonder why between 2005 and 2007 (The Blake Mitchell
years) when we had ONLY Sidney Rice to throw to, that we saw only
mediocre success on offense as well as overall team record ? ... Did
you ever wonder why between the years of 2008 and 2011 (the
Chris Smelly / Stephen Garcia years) when we actually had a couple of
other options, but made Alshon Jeffery the major part of the passing
game, that we only saw minor success and overall team record.... And
did it ever occur to you that once we decided to utilize ALL our weapons
in the passing attack (like Buster Anderson, Justice Cunningham, Ace
Sanders, Bruce Ellington) that the past two seasons have been the most
successful in the school's history ?? We have multiple WR threats and two
QBs who spread it around, and we have put together two 11 win seasons
and back to back post season wins over very strong traditional powerhouse
football programs in our bowl games

Ace was a big part of the puzzle, but you don't see the full picture unless
you use all the pieces of the puzzle.

I think the coaches got everything they could out of Sanders. He's not a protypical #1 receiver so the type of numbers he put up were probably best case scenarios.

On the other hand, we could've found ourselves back in square one in 2013 because we put all of our eggs in one basket. We must also remember that footbal is a TEAM sport whereby when you rely solely on one player you're bound to give the edge to the opponents defense. Trust me they will take away plays from such player. I like it the way the ball is being spread around on our offense--RB, TE, WRs, FB, etc. Good luck to Gamecock Ace in the NFL. I believe our WR is in way empty contrarily we may stand to be more productive WR wise in 2013 than 2012. Go Cocks!!!

I concur.

With the focus the OP has on his play at WR, I think he is missing out on the greatness of Ace on ST. In the pros, he is going to be a big play punt returner. Glad the Gamecock coaches saw the talent and used it pretty much to the max for all three years that Ace played at Carolina.
