It's early and South Carolina has only three verbal commitments in the 2016 cycle, but quarterbacks coach G.A. Mangus has two of them and both are highly-touted.
Mangus locked up perhaps what will end up being the most important South Carolina commit this cycle- quarterback Brandon McIlwain (Council Rock North, Pa.) and also snagged an early pledge from four-star wide receiver Kyle Davis (Loganville, Ga./Archer).
There's a bunch of upside for the Gamecocks assistant this cycle as well. There's plenty of talent in the northeast and Georgia that Mangus has been recruiting for some time- something that will work in his favor as this 2016 South Carolina class comes together and his commitment list grows.
Mangus, heading into his seventh season with the Gamecocks, has been honored by multiple national outlets as a top 25 national recruiter during his time at South Carolina. The Gamecocks have posted a 56-23 record since his arrival prior to the 2009 season.
