So you think we get a RB we just offered who is getting offers from every other big school in the country, but we don't keep the guy committed to us currently?

No it isn't, it is a lock for many. Wish legacy ws a virtual lock for us. Having a lock on such things as legacy, players within the community the school is located etc. makes an excellent basis on which to build. Hopefully as our success continues we will see a fence raised around columbia, legacy etc.

TBS says Rivers probably sticks with us because our coaches have a really good relationship with his coach.

We offered RB Ty'Son Williams from Sumter....6'1" 190....4* composite 90.

RB Dexter Williams of Orlando has been offered. Miami and Florida also offered this week. 6'1'' 190, explosive with really good speed. Looks like a lot of good RB prospects have gotten offers to within the last week to ten days. Johnny Frazier, Ty'Son Williams, and Dexter Williams, all with really good offer lists. Frazier was offered by us, FSU, and Tennessee on February 5th, and Ole Miss on the 11th.

The film on Dexter Williams is amazing! Really hope we land that one.

Yeah, I watched his film a while ago. Highly impressive to say the least.

If anyone cares Michael Barnett de-comitted from Va Tech after receiving a Alabama offer. This is one instate kid I wish we would have pursued.

Defensive End. He has a very impressive offer list.

We seemed to get heavy interest from a lot of the top DEs in 2015, I wonder why it is not the case with him.

[trapper82]

I think its because we lead for Rivers, Key and Blackshear. Given those three with our past class, DE will be fine for awhile.

If we can hold on to Rivers and Blackshear and land Key, the talent at DE for the next few years will rival any other unit in the nation.

So many have acknowledged a need at OL, but I haven't heard how many we are currently looking really good with. Anyone got any info on the OL for me? Based on all the guys I see in the Gamecock Offer thread it doesn't look like we lead for many of them at all, but have shots at several if certain things fall our way.

Zach Giella.....we offered 6'6" 285 OT from Augusta......Crystal Ball has 6 predictions, all are Gamecocks.

I would take Barnett over Key all day long. Of course thats just an opinion.

What about Shaq Crouch?

I disagree. I think Barnett is safer than Key but if Key fills out then his upside is much higher than Barnett's. I think the only thing we can say for sure is that this will be a loaded class on the DL, especially DE.

He has good size, and is appraently a good player, I was wondering why we haven't seemed to be in the picture with him.

Seems like we would've at least been pushing, unless he either is determined to leave the state or has other issues that scared us off.

Anyone have some insight?
