Why? Clowney will be gone and I highly doubt his number will be retired 2 years later

Blackshear also was at USC;s junior day and has early offers from the Gamecocks, Clemson, Florida, NC State and North Carolina. Cribb said USC is his current favorite. "He has grown like a weed," Cribb said. "He's so athletic, he could be a tight end. He has great speed and quickness and is very athletic." Last season Blackshear had 97 tackles with 17 tackles for loss and 5 sacks.

Sophomore DE Shamiek Blackshear of Bluffton was offered on Thursday by Florida State according to his coach Ken Cribb. The Seminoles join USC, Clemson, North Carolina, NC State and Florida as early offers for Blackshear who some are calling the best player in the state regardless of class. Blackshear went to USC and Clemson for games last season and was at USC's junior day last month. He is expected to be at Clemson Saturday for a small gathering of prospects along with his junior teammate DL KJ Ford. Cribb says USC remains the team to beat for Blackshear right now. "He was a Gamecock fan as a kid growing up," Cribb said. "But he's interested in looking at all his options and going thru the process, so you never know." National recruiting analyst Tom Lemming was by the school recently to meet with the players who have been invited to the upcoming Under Armour combine. Ford is still waiting for his first major offer. Cribb said NC State is showing strong interest and wants him to come to a junior day. He has been to USC and North Carolina for junior days. And Appalachian State called about him earlier this week.

Maybe he meant they will be a factor because he plans on beating them for three plus years while playing ball at Carolina?

It's never too early for optimism, right?

Perhaps your right. If he is as good as advertised, expect half the country to come after him.

At Bluffton, there is very little secret which prospect is at the top of the list at the talented-laden school that has rung up 38 victories in the last three seasons. 

Defensive end Shameik Blackshear (Bluffton, SC) is one of the top class of 2015 prospects in the country. It’s not just the 6-foot-4, 235-pound long armed nearly perfectly proportioned frame that has earned the sophomore six verbal offers, but his quickness, speed and agility for his size according to two opposing coaches in the area.

Blackshear’s combination of frame and athleticism has earned him early offers from South Carolina, Florida State, Florida, Clemson, North Carolina and N.C. State with many more expected in May.

The 15-year old sophomore that doesn’t turn 16 until July made a visit to Florida State last weekend.

"(Florida State) a beautiful place," Blackshear said. "The city is nice, the coaching staff was very loving. They want me to come there so bad and they want me there now. They want me to be comfortable with them."

One of the highlights of his trip to Florida State was meeting Florida State head coach Jimbo Fisher.

"I thought it was pretty awesome to be able to talk to someone like (Fisher)," Blackshear said. "It must mean they think I'm a pretty good player for me to meet the head coach."

Besides visiting Florida State, Blackshear is hoping to visit Clemson and North Carolina this spring. He’s also expected to camp at South Carolina this summer. He lists LSU as the program he hopes offers next.

For Farrell, it was another prospect from the class of 2015 who made a more natural comparison to Clowney.

"I think Shameik has the highest upside of the three," he said. "Out of those guys, he is the longest and has the frame to do what Clowney did.

"He is a natural to rush the passer and has the technical skills to make the plays. I don't think anyone is going to be as good as Clowney was because he was the best player I have seen in high school, but Shameik could get the closest."

Blackshear moved to South Carolina from the Bronx, N.Y., to play football and get an opportunity to better his situation.

He is determined to take advantage of that chance.

"There is no doubt I would be into trouble if I was still in the Bronx," Blackshear said. "I have a tremendous opportunity right now, and I have to take advantage of all of the things I have been blessed with."

At 6-foot-5 and 235 pounds, he is the closest of the prospects to Clowney's measurable. The current South Carolina player was 6-foot-6 and 247 pounds in high school.

Blackshear said it wasn't the first time he has heard the comparisons but it isn't something he focuses on.

"I don't really like being compared to anyone," he said. "I play my own style."

Blackshear might have been the most impressive defensive linemen at the RCS Charlotte stop, regardless of age. He's lightning fast off the edge, and will only get better as he adds more bulk to his frame. There are several schools making an early push for Blackshear, including nearby Clemson and South Carolina. Florida, Georgia and Alabama have also offered.

This kid is a straight out freak. Scary thing is he is not done growing. About as close to Clowney as you can get without being Clowney.

If he was impressed by meeting a middle-of-the-pack head coach in Fisher... please have this stud meet the legend.
