[FeatheredCock]

 I would really like hearing what you think about players the coaches etc. certain recruits you have interest in. Show Videos of the players anything you feel about football recruiting you want to discus.

I have the following in state guys as guys we've offered and either lead for or have a great shot with:

Thomas - DE
Joyner - QB
Gregory - WR
Brown - DT
Smith - WR
Rush - ATH (expected position?)
Manos - OL

In state no / longshots:

Kendrick - WR/DB
Wynn - DE
Venables- LB
Belk - DT (decent shot)

In a good position with OOS:

Sandidge - DT
Hollifield - LB
Teague - RB

Dylan Wonnum in Georgia
Sam Pinckney has an in state offer
B T potter at kicker
Christian Armstrong Georgia linemen
Sherard the lineman at TL Hanna
Trea Turner athlete in NC

I could see us moving on

Kenneth Brown LB at Fort Dorchester
Justin Williams WR at fort Dorchester

Probably see a flurry of offers between now at May I would expect 10 commits by mid summer

It was fair, we got some good guys committed to us

 

[TaySC]

Man it was an ok signing day, now let's see how the new guys will perform

 

[Superb Owl]

Great job, considering the damage from SOS quitting midseason and the loss to the Citadel factored in..

What is your top three recruits the Gamecock staff needs the most to sign in 2018 class?
  

My three

1=Five-star defensive end Xavier Thomas
2=4-star LB Quin Williams
3=RB Zamir White (5 star)

Figured I would start this as we're starting to get into key 2018 recruits deciding. 2018 is tuning up to be possibly one of the best classes ever for South Carolina.

Top Targets:
Xavier Thomas (5 star) DE
Zamir White (5 star) RB
KJ Henry (5 star) DE
Rick Sandidge (4 star) DT
Dax Hollifield (4 star) LB
Josh Belk (4 star) DT
Dakereon Joyner (4 star) ATH
Jordyn Adams (4 star) WR
Jamal Elliot (4 star) RB
Quin Williams (4 star) LB
Kavesz Sheppard (4 star) OT
Master Teague (4 star) RB

Landing even half of these guys would be a great haul for our team and I feel like we have a chance to do even better than half. Zamir and Joyner will be announcing over the summer and that can get us started on a roll.

Fair, not good

How would you rate the 2018 recruiting class so far and what players would you like to see commit in the following months?

 

[FeatheredCock]

No real big names yet but on track to be a very solid class 14 commits and growing....

Dorian Gerald tweet this morning after Gamecocks big win over Razorbacks a game he attended... 

 

[Extreme]

I am sure Dorian will oick us

 

[FeatheredCock]

If the Gamecocks can finish strong hit on all their top prospect should move them from 27th to around 15th. GO COCKS FINISH STRONG!!

 

[FeatheredCock]

Who do the Gamecocks finish this recruiting class with?

Seems like the Gamecocks are in good shape for Wonnum, Sandridge, Horn and Thompson. If they get them all,  Gamecocks should be ranked #10 - #15. It looks like a pretty solid recruiting class. Henry seems like a long shot but if Muschamp pulls it off, the Gamecocks would be closer to #10.......

 

[FeatheredCock]

I absolutely love the way the 2018 class has shaped up. If Gamecocks close with Wonnum, Sandidge, Mincey, and Bryce Thompson I will be elated with this class. To me it is one of the better classes we have had here in a longtime. I think all four of the guys above will be in the 2 deep on the depth chart and that would be an impressive close to what is already a very good class with 13 early enrollees. Go Gamecocks!
