We Need A Qb Talk To Me About Qbs

QB Levi Brown (6-4 212) of Mount Juliet High School in Mount Juliet, Tennessee will officially visit South Carolina this weekend. Brown is a dropback passer with a big arm, according to his coach David Crawford. "He can stand back there and sling it," Crawford said. "He can run if he has to as well. But he doesn't juke, he'll just lower his shoulder." Brown suffered a deep bone bruise in his right knee during the sixth week of the season. Crawford attributes that to the reason many schools have shyed away. Brown has scored a 4.0 GPA and will graduate this December. He will look to enroll in a school in January. Ole Miss, Kentucky and Richmond are the other schools after Brown. But Crawford says Brown is impressed with USC. "He really liked the way Steve Spurrier Jr. came in and talked to him," Crawford said. "He was real impressed with that. So that's why he's gonna visit." So far no schools have offered Brown, including the Gamecocks.

You know that if Hawaii is looking at this kid, he can obviously throw the ball pretty good! That's all the Rainbow do is throw the ball.

DB Brandon Isaac (6-2 185) of Georgia Military JC and DB Mike West (6-2 215) of Butler County JC, KS committed to USC over the weekend during their official visits according to Isaac. USC is waiting on decisions from WR Kerry Reed (6-2 198) of Coffeyville JC, KS and DB Knowledge Timmons (5-11 175) of York, PA who also visited over the weekend. A fifth visitor, QB Levi Brown (6-4 212) of Mount Juliet, TN has not yet been offered by the Gamecocks. Isaac also had offers from Utah, Memphis, Marshall and UNLV and is glad to have his decision made. "It relieves me some from all the recruiting," he said. "I can now focus on what I can do. It feels good to be a Gamecock. They lost three seniors in the secondary so it's open right now. I have the opportunity to come in and play right away at free safety." Isaac said his host for the visit was Tremaine Tyler. Isaac is a product of Blackville-Hilda. He will graduate in March and hopes to enroll in school then. He will have three years to play two. This season he had 25 tackles and 1 interception.

USC's new coaching staff has yet to make contact withi DB Gary Riggs (6-3 200) of Jennings, LA. Riggs was a hotly pursued prospect by former Gamecock recruiter Dave Roberts. He is scheduled to visit USC January 14th and Ole Miss January 21st, but with both staffs in transition, he's not heard from either in a few weeks. He has not set any other visits. He also has offers from Louisiana-Monroe, Tulane, Louisiana Tech and McNeese State.
USC and Ole Miss were the two favorites of DL Justin Fulmer (6-5 280) of Sterling, LA but with both going through coaching changes, he has not been contacted by either. So, Fulmer committed recently to Louisiana Monroe with the idea he'll still keep his options open for the larger programs. Fulmer is scheduled to visit USC January 14th and Ole Miss January 21st but those visits are tentative at this time. Fulmer finished the season with 64 tackles, 22 for losses, 6 sacks and 2 fumble recoveries.
