Gamecocks go after Hokies commit Caleb Farley; Emory Jones to visit

Gamecocks' staff high on Virginia Tech commit
3-star 2017 athlete and current Virginia Tech commit Caleb Farley of Maiden, North Carolina is a player that the South Carolina staff is extremely high on. He was offered by the Gamecocks a week ago and his feedback to the offer, despite his commitment to the Hokies, has been positive. He plans to visit Columbia unofficially tomorrow. Farley is a stereotypical "diamond in the rough" type of prospect at this stage. He has been under-recruited but from his film you can see loads of potential in him to be a great player at the next level.
5-star QB Emory Jones will visit
The 2nd ranked dual threat quarterback in the country for the class of 2018, 5-star Emory Jones of Georgia, was offered by South Carolina offensive coordinator Kurt Roper back on May 4th. While the Gamecocks are not yet considered to be major player for Jones, in an interview with SEC Country reporter Hale McGranahan on Sunday, Jones said he would "definitely" be up to see Columbia at some point this summer.
Again, as of now, South Carolina isn't considered to be a major factor, but this is obviously not a bad sign for the Gamecocks. Once you get a kid on campus, you never know what could happen. If nothing else, it shows that the current staff is capable of going out and attracting some of the top talent in the country, which bodes well for the program going forward.
Here's some highlights of Jones in action:
