South Carolina recruiting: Xavier Thomas
As of Thursday afternoon, Xavier Thomas was “supposed” to visit South Carolina for the Kentucky game, but time will tell if that actually comes to fruition.
A separate SEC Country source indicated on Thursday that Thomas has also made arrangements to return to IMG Academy (Bradenton, Fla.) on Friday.
Stay tuned.
Dax Hollifield is among the top remaining prospects for South Carolina in 2018.
Confirmed guests for Saturday
Even if Thomas doesn’t visit South Carolina on Saturday, there won’t be a shortage of star prospects from the 2018 class.
Uncommitted 2018 targets

Tennessee commit set to return
Horn, who’s committed to Tennessee, recently told Phil Kornblut that his decision between South Carolina and Tennessee was “real close.”
“South Carolina is talking to me more and more, and Tennessee also is,” Horn said. “I mean, I really just wouldn’t flip my commitment right now, but Saturday will be my first game experience at South Carolina so I’ll see how that is.”
He added, “I’ve talked to Coach Muschamp a lot more since I committed. I’ve always heard the crowd was crazy and I want to see how that is on game day.”
