Discussion 2022 recruiting and Welcome home Thread

Staff just added a quality LB prospect in Donovan Westmoreland - a high 3* that was committed to UGA but flipped to USC. He's our 4th commitment for the 2022 cycle - which will be the first legitimate class under the Beamer regime IMO, that Shane's staff has a decent chance to put together.....

 
Gamecocks had a Safety prospect in Anthony Rose out of Miami Central committed earlier in the cycle, February 23rd. He chose to de-commit and re-open his recruitment back up on May 12th, but Coach Beamer and his staff never gave up on him. Apparently Rose may have felt he rushed his commitment, and should have waited a bit and weighed all of his options. Other offers opportunities he was considering were from Maryland, Penn State, and Arizona. After his de-commitment, Illinois offered him.

But Rose never turned his back on the Gamecocks, and had his official visit this past weekend. Apparently he re-affirmed all the positives he felt about the program earlier, because Sunday Rose re-committed to the Gamecocks.

The Gamecocks now have a total of 10 commitments for the 2022 cycle, good for 31st nationally (per 247Sports), and 10th in the SEC..... 

 
A 4* OT prospect and top target for South Carolina - Ryan Brubaker out of Denver, PA - has set his decision date, to be on July 4th at 3:00 pm. South Carolina will compete for Brubaker's services with Vanderbilt, Stanford, Tennessee, and Penn State, who all got Brubaker's other official visits. Brubaker officially visited USC earlier this month.

For what it's worth, 247sports.com has USC and Vanderbilt as the only two programs as high as "warm" for Brubaker, and the crystal ball forecasts are 100% for USC. Would be a tremendous pull by Coach Beamer and staff if things go our way......

 
I think they are doing well so far.  Let’s see how it comes to when they close it out.

It looks to continue: Sports talkSC's Phil Kornblut - based on his interview today with USC Director of Player Personnel Taylor Edwards, there are still three (3) silent commits out there in addition to the 12 official commitments already on the board for this cycle:

Eleven new pledges have come in during the month, three of which remain private thru Tuesday night. One of those was expected to go public Tuesday night but that did not happen, but it could happen on Wednesday. Counting the public and private commitments, and adding two transfers who count with the class, the Gamecocks have 16 of their 25 spots filled for 2022.

(here is the article link with audio of the full interview)

TX WR prospect Landon Samson committed later today after the above article was posted, but there was no indication that he was a silent commit. And based on Kornblut's last paragraph in his article on Samson's commitment, those 3 silents are still out there:

His commitment accounts for the second Shane Beamer alert of Tuesday and gives the Gamecocks 12 new commitments in the class. Beamer also sent out another commitment alert Wednesday, so he has three silent commitments. The one from today plans to announce Saturday, but that’s unrelated to DT Nick James who had previously set Saturday at 2:30 for his announcement. The other two will go public in early July. And two transfers will count in the 2022 class meaning 17 of the 25 spots are claimed. (Article)

Considering our past couple seasons, Beamer and company are appealing to some really good talent. It is hard to convince the good players to come to a school that only won 2 games last year. Beamer is convincing them that change is coming and they can be a part of it. He is doing a darn good job of convincing me too.

Amen.

 
I could be in the minority here, but I never thought CWM and his staff had a problem with recruiting ... it was more about what happened to the players once they got here. Burch and Pickens, for example, were HUGE wins for us. That said, CSB seems to making inroads in exactly the way we hoped he would - he is genuine and sincere and that is bearing fruit.

They even developed while here during CWM era. The problem was that Muschamp could not make in-game adjustment and his coordinators did not believe in counter plays or pre-snap deception on either side of the ball. He got outcoached nearly every week and once teams figured out what we would try to do and what we could do, they adjusted while our coaches just shrugged.
