Recruiting Weekend Report
Dec. 14, 2019
It’s the final recruiting weekend before the dead period leading into the early signing period. Gamecocks is scheduled for several commitments to to take officials visits this weekend in CB O’Donnell Fortune, OL Trai Jones, RB Rashad Amos, WR Rico Powers and and DT Makius Scott. Committed RB Marshawn Lynch also is in for the weekend according to his Instagram.
GamecockCentral and TheBigSpur reported Gamecock commitment DT Alex Huntley is taking an official visit to Virginia this weekend. This appears to be an offshoot of the uncertainty surrounding Will Muschamp earlier in the month. The Cavaliers were able to schedule Huntley, who is originally from Maryland, for a visit and he is following thru.
The elephant in the room is, of course, Hammond DE Jordan Burch. He has dumbfounded all recruiting followers by his ability to be one of the nation’s most high profile prospects yet keep his recruiting activity almost secret. It is known that Clemson’s Dabo Swinney and Georgia’s Kirby Smart visited with Burch this week because there are pictures of the two coaches at Burch’s basketball games Wednesday and Thursday nights respectively. The Alabama Rivals sited reported Nick Saban visited in the home Monday night, and websites have reported Will Muschamp and Ed Orgeron of LSU were expected for visits, but there’s been no solid confirmation on those. Burch has taken official visits to LSU and Alabama and there’s no concrete evidence yet that he will visit anywhere this weekend. He has set Thursday for his announcement and some have reported he will do that in his original hometown of Florence.
RB ZaQuandre White, who publicly committed to the Gamecocks Thursday, said Friday night he’s still not talked with Will Muschamp but did text with Thomas Brown. He plans to sign next week but the day has not been set. White is finished at Iowa Western JC and is returning home to Ft. Myers, FL where he will finish up some online classes.
Other visits of note this weekend….Gamecock target DE Yaya Diaby of Georgia Military JC to West Virginia and Gamecock target WR-Ger-Cari Caldwell of Northwestern to Baylor.
Gamecock target TE Jaheim Bell of Valdosta, GA will announce on Wednesday. He has had Gamecocks, Florida State and Oklahoma as his favorites. The Seminoles tossed Bell something else to think about Friday when his quarterback, Tate Rodemaker, committed to them. Rodemaker also is the son of the Valdosta head coach.
USC offered 2021 LB Ese Dubre of Powder Springs, GA.
