Who is the kid in GA?

[gotrice?]

Dontavius Russell who was at our Junior Day. Rated a high 4* (96) by 247 and a low 4* (5.8) by Rivals. So how we handle the DT position will be interesting this year. I'm not sure if we are only taking 2 or if we will end up taking 3 total at the position and we obviously have some very highly regarded players we are going after.

Take him take him take him! We have missed on some D-Tackles for the last two years and that is where the game is won!

This year's recruiting cycle is going to be VERY stressful for the coaching staff.

How they juggle the numbers will be very interesting. I wouldn't be shocked if they took a total of 20 this class just due to having a large number of prospects that are impossible to turn down. Pringle is the 1st big question of the class.

To take 20, they'll have to run a dozen players.....I just don't see that happening.

The only way this is true is if we have a legitimate shot at either Hand or Carter or the other 5* kid.

Hand would be worth burning a bridge or two IMO.

Yea, but we better be right.

Actually the way it is true is if we are only taking 2 DTs and grade Wideman and Poona ahead of him since we have a big lead for all 3.

I would would almost guarantee we will take 3 DT's and 2 DE's in this class.

I was also thinking d-line would be a focus for this class, @ 5

Especially with only having taken 1 DT in the past two recruiting cycles, I would hope we have room for all 3 big in state DT's who all currently favor us.

Agreed, also I think that at least 1 of the 3 DT's we're talking about can also play DE, like an Ingram.

[jayceecock]

And we just offered another DT today, Lamont Gaillard from Pine Forest, NC.

[MillerTime843]

When is he going to announce? I know he's a gamecock but when's it official?

This year's recruiting cycle will be one for the ages...

...reduced number of schollies,
...amazing talent in SC,
...out of state blue chip talent interested in the Cocks,
...heightened expectations for coaches this season,
...traditionally low recruiting budgets,

...hang on to your hats!!

[sosfan812]

Just curious does anyone think it may be possible that he went to committ to us but we talked him into holding off becuase of other players we are in the race for?
