Recruiting July 23rd: All-In & Spurs Up Cookout morsels
Smith and Jamyest Williams plan to be at USC Saturday for the Gamecocks’ social gathering which is expected to crank up around 11:00 AM and run to mid afternoon.
One commitment certain to emerge for the Gamecocks is DB Zay Brown of Athens, GA. He attended Will Muschamp’s June 18th camp and was offered. Muschamp tweeted his Spurs Up commitment alert that day and it was believed to be for Brown. Brown would not confirm a commitment then but did say he would have something to say on July 23rd when he and his family visit.
Friday night DB Trajan Bandy of Miami, who decommitted from Oklahoma Monday, confirmed he will be at USC Saturday. Bandy said the Gamecocks currently sit third on his list but did not reveal one and two. He also has Southern Cal, Miami, Oklahoma, Penn State and Tennessee on his short list.
Also confirmed Friday night as headed to USC Saturday were DE Brad Johnson of Pendleton, who is coming in with his family, DE Matthew Butler of Garner, NC and OL TJ Moore of Charlotte. Johnson, according to his coach Paul Sutherland, is not ready to make a decision and will take some official visits in the fall. Butler said he’s getting closer on a decision but is not ready yet. He’s also looking at Tennessee, North Carolina, NC State and Duke. And Moore plans to announce his decision August 1st and has the Gamecocks, Tennessee, NC State, North Carolina and Alabama at the top of his list.
