Its like Ive said time and time again .. big time big name coaches bring in the big time big named recruits  

[RW13]

Yeah, I don't want Sexton though, I'm sick of the "mobile QB" crap. It didn't work with Corey Jenkins, Dondrial Pinkins, and Syvelle Newton, they are not SEC QB's, they are SEC athletes however, I just want someone to make good throws and look down his whole progression, I'm sick of looking at the #1 WR and then tucking and running for a gain of 1.., Give me Ben Olsen b/c we have too many RB's as it is...

[Hardie]

Well theres something to be said for having a mobile quarterback. Granted you want to be able to throw the ball if you are droppin back to pass but you know there are those situations that it is way better to tuck and run. I think a mobile quarterback is good but they have got to know when to be checkin for that 2nd and 3rd receiver.

[RW13]

Look at the SEC champs for the past 5 years as well as NC's the past 5 years.  QB's that are not really mobile but make good decisions, I'll take that any day over Corey Jenkins, Dondrial Pinkins, and Syvelle Newton...

Good point!  Other than that, Sexton committed to the UNC Tarholes today. Honestly, he's making a BIG mistake.

[RW13]

Yeah I just read about the committment to UNC, I'm very glad b/c that way we don't have to deal with it at all and can concentrate on getting a pro-style pocket passer.  I really hope we land Ben Olsen, can you imagine him passing to our recievers and RB's?

Yeah!  He would be a nice addition. A big beefy guy like that. Kinda reminds me of Jared Lorenzen. Hey RW, check out the new post of mine in the forums.

I heard this morning that Olsen is gonna stay out west, I hope we get somebody though.....

We got our first Spurrier commitment today.

Conway HS: TB Bobby Wallace  5-8 190lbs. Runs the 40 in 4.4

He has rushed for over 1900 yds this year and ran for 2100 yds and 26 TD's last season.

Projected Position: TB/KR

Hey RW, remember that highly touted recruit that played with Ko Simpson by the name of C.J. Barber? Well, he's enrolling in Jan. It has been said that he's Ko Simpson's twin brother on the field. Imagine that? WOOHOO!

The pieces are starting to fall into place.

I almost forgot. Jonathan Joseph is going to be back too!  He got a medical redshirt this past year so he's going to have 2 good full years with us. Speaking of Joseph, that's the fastest dude that I have seen. He has a 40 of 4.32

Its definatly looking like  a really good recruiting class for SC is things continue to shape up. Its like I said before top coaches bring top recruits and thats what Spurrier is doing up there it looks like.

If he can bring those TOP-TIER recruits in, that would be great! I think he will bring in a few of them though. Overall, a solid class so far.

QB Tommy Beecher (6-2 200) of Concord, NC will make an official visit to USC in January. Beecher was contacted by Gamecock head coach Steve Spurrier last week and set a January 7th visit. He has not been offered by USC. Beecher has an offer from Richmond and wil visit the Spiders January 14th. He is also drawing interest from Army. Beecher has led his team to the 3A state championship game with back to back come from behind victories. Two games ago he threw a game winning touchdown pass on the final play of the game. This past Friday he led his team back from a 20-0 deficit with five minutes to play. This season Beecher has passed for over 3600 yards and 41 touchdowns. As a junior he passed for 2700 yards and 28 touchdowns.
