Recruiter Deke Adams has arrived at the school and will be joined shortly by running backs coach Everette Sands and head coach Steve Spurrier.
South Carolina is where 4 star RB Derrell Scott 5' 10" 181lbs wants to go to school. His only hesitation is the opportunity for playing time. How Spurrier and Sands handle that aspect is going to determine whether Scott picks South Carolina or Tennessee.
The Vols coaching staff has convinced him he will have the chance for immediate playing time and now the Gamecocks have to do the same. I would expect the coaches to break down the depth chart again for Scott. They will remind him that Kendric Salley has already transferred and that Jamari Smith will likely be at cornerback the first day of spring practice.
That would leave Mike Davis and Brandon Wilds, and Shon Carson, who will all be juniors in 2014,, and redshirt freshman David Williams for Scott to compete with his first year in the program. They will also remind Scott that his running style is very different from the other backs, and that he will have a chance to be a factor in the return game as well. I’d be shocked if Spurrier doesn’t talk a great deal about how he used Pharoh Cooper and tell Scott he’d have the same kind of opportunities if he shows he’s ready to help the team win games.
We hope to know more following tonight’s in-home visit. Stay tuned.
