He tweeted last night that he wondered why Scout didn't have him as a commit since he was firm. I posted on scout and asked why, and they fixed it within about 15 min. It was kind of funny. He tweeted that he was firm with SC.

Which shows how reliable scout.com is as a recruiting service these days, IMO...they have almost become an after-thought as a credible source when people discuss FB recruiting.

I think a factor was with the USC site on Scout - formerly GamecockAnthem - going dead for the entirety of this FB season and recruiting cycle: the publishers for the website would probably keep on Scout to maintain the commit lists as up-to-date as possible, but there hasn't been anyone associated with the site to do that, so the USC class has had some errors in it all cycle long. I think Jhauston Thomas wasn't included as a commit for much of the season after he committed too....

EDIT: just looked at the Scout national ranking of our class: they list us still with only 14 commits, despite us having 17 - and BAW is listed. They still don't have Thomas as a commit, despite having Lamin - another JUCO, so that can't be the reason why - listed. They are missing Thomas, Scarnecchia, and Samuel from the list. It's a joke...

They probably didn't have him as firm because he was planning on visiting Bama. That is the only reason.

It's basically a version of the 4-3. He's not going to be Spur so the difference doesn't really matter to him.

I know this...

UGA fans are claiming BAW has agreed to meet with their new DC Pruitt.

[DawginCola]

Pruitt will go on an in-home visit. Nothing will come from it on BAW's end (he's solid and UGA knows they got into the game too late), but it is likely to get Pruitt acquainted with his mother as they are actively recruiting his brother and he recently listed UGA as his favorite.

OK, that makes more sense.

I think Darnisha is step-mother to BAW's brother. Not certain, but believe I saw her tweet something like "he's (the brother) my son, but not my natural son. I only have one of those."

Not absolutely certain, and could have been something I misinterpreted.

Doesn't surprise me in the least little bit.

Not a big deal. He's visited UCLA and will visit Bama. He seems to be a really mature kid for 16-17. He's just covering all his bases and making 100% sure.

I'm taking other visits because recruiting only happens once , I'll never be able to have this much fun again in my life . I'm #AllGamecock

[AtlantaSportsGuy]

Not worried at all about BAW, is a solid Gamecock

[Tailfeathers]

It's his life so he should see other places, but this is not a good thing for us. Anything can happen.

He's been 110% Gamecock for how long now? He's been our best recruiter. You really think that 2 days at another school plus a few coaches in his ear telling him stuff he's already been hearing for at least 6 months is going to change his mind? I highly doubt it.

Mason Foster was 110% committed to Auburn and got an Auburn tattoo on his arm. He took an OV to Alabama and now he plays for the Tide.

Look the chances are definitely great that BAW plays for USC. But it is plain foolish to consider him 100% committed when he is still taking OVs and still entertaining visits from other coaches. I hope our coaches don't have the mindset of our fans and have stopped recruiting him.

Would you turn down a free trip to LA? I wouldn't. Would you turn down a free trip to Bama so see their place compared to SC's? I wouldn't. Yea the coaches are going to stay on him because that's their job. He loves SC. Why else would he be so over the top Gamecock publicly? Its a process that he'll never get to do again in his life so why not take full advantage of it? I would, so would a lot of other people.

[GarnetSwarm1990]

Auburn also had a complete coaching turn-over. That was part of it. All the coaches that recruited BAW are still here.

Reuben Foster? Yeah he reallllly set the bar on that decision. Very good point
