Monday recruiting notes
Jan. 26, 2015
South Carolina head coach Steve Spurrier and quarterbacks coach G.A. Mangus are in Atlanta today. The pair will be conducting in-home visits with a number of 2015 commits/targets today and tomorrow, including Trey Derouen, who is on commit watch to the Gamecocks.
On Tuesday, expect Spurrier to drop in the high schools of several top juniors in the Atlanta area as well.
Some of the stops include.
McEachern, home of five-star defensive tackle Julian Rochester
Lanier, home of elite defensive tackle Derrick Brown
Peachtree Ridge, home of four-star cornerback Chad Clay and others. Also coached by former Gamecock Mark Fleetwood.
Archer, home of Class of 2016 four-star Gamecock commit Kyle Davis, (also will conduct the in-home with 2015 commit Connor Redmond).
Mangus and Spurrier also will have lunch with 2015 quarterback commit Lorenzo Nunez tomorrow.
***Spurrier getting out and being seen in and around the schools of Atlanta underclassmen is a big deal for South Carolina recruiting in terms of combating the "2 or 3 more years" comment. The counter is going to be "why is Spurrier seeing underclassmen if he's hanging it up soon" and that can be effective****
-The weather in the Northeast is going to prevent South Carolina from sending coaches up that way this week and also could prevent some 2016 prospects from attending this weekend's Junior Day.
