It’s the eve of National Signing Day 2016 and there is some moving and shaking going on. Decisions are being finalized by both recruiters and recruits.
The drama will continue to build across the state and the country until the fax machines come to life at 7:00 AM Wednesday morning.
We will update news here throughout the day.
LaPrad was uncertain Tuesday if WR Diondre Champaigne would sign with USC or Jones JC, MS. He said that decision was up to Will Muschamp. He said Champaigne wants to attend USC even if he has to go thru the junior college route. Champaigne is taking the ACT again this weekend.
Another USC target, DE Mykelle McDaniel of Loganville, GA is also scheduled to retake the ACT this weekend. McDaniel has made it clear he wants to go to USC but what is not clear at this point is whether or not the Gamecocks will send him a letter-of-intent for Wednesday.
USC recruiter Shawn Elliott was in touch with Newberry coach Phil Strickland Tuesday and told him they still have ATH Yafari Werts on their short list and are waiting to see how some other things work out before making him an offer. Regardless, Strickland said Werts is signing Wednesday at 10:00 AM. He has definite offers from Georgia Southern and Appalachian State and, of course, a USC offer would give him something else to think about.
Former USC signee DE Kalan Ritchie of Goose Creek will sign Wednesday with Louisiana Tech.
Former USC commitment WR Kelvin Harmon of Palmyra, NJ will sign with NC State.
Westwood High School signings: OL Emmanuel Scott with and OL Chris McCarthy with North Greenville; OL Torrey Boone with Highland CC, KS; PK Brandon Howard with Johnson C. Smith; WR Malik Griffin with Guilford.
Dillon High signings: QB Avery McCall with Coastal Carolina; RB Jamison Chapman with Wofford; OL Adonis Sealey with Presbyterian; RB Daeshawn Davis with Butler JC, KS; LB Trey Melton with either Citadel or Newberry.
