Any news on this guy or when we may be able to get him on campus? Last I heard he likes us in his top group anyway and was a big fan of Clowney's. We need to get this kid on campus.

From what I've read, he still has that same top 5. He's still the Overall #1 player. I think he will be a guy who announces on NSD, so there's a long way to go. He said a while back that he was taking recruiting off his plate for a couple weeks and would wait until March to make contact with coaches. He is planning to come to Columbia this summer and Lattimore has worked at recruiting him for us.

Hand was the first No. 1 on FOX Sports Next, and he certainly has a legit claim to the spot with his size and athleticism. Hand has the size to play defensive tackle in the 4-3 while having the quickness and strength to play end in either a 4-3 or 3-4 scheme. While the running back position may be de emphasized in today's game, there's no denying the value of a big, fast defensive end who can hold down a double team or single handedly crash a quarterback's pocket.

Hand is a defensive end prospect who brings several good traits to the table. He is physically well put together with good height, a lean, muscular build and he carries his weight very well with some room for additional bulk. He also demonstrates some natural smarts and comes across as a fairly measured kid in his actions. He can be explosive off the ball, with very good first-step quickness.

You know all of the hype Clowney is going to get this year is going to give you all a GREAT shot here.

I would bet you all get him.

Va Tech has a pretty solid history of losing the top guys from Virginia to SEC schools.

This one is going to be a LONG recruitment and I think you guys get him down for a game in the fall where Clowney goes nuts, he'll be a cock.

He wants to major in engerneering

I've been hearing his recruiting sets him apart from Lawing. It would be awesome to see that pay dividends in year 1. In this case huge dividends...long way to go but it's a big step getting these kids on campus.

Same here, and it is already showing. Love having coaches that get after it on the trail!

@GCChrisClark: Hand not 100% confirmed to visit #Gamecocks this weekend, but that's plan as of today and should know later in the week with 100% certainty.
