| As I see it, and I admit to probably being a little biased here, all USC really needs to do is find a QB this spring. Whether it be one of the kids SOS has already received committments from or one that's already here doesn't matter; that they can get the job done and learn does. Our offense will be better which will keep our defense off the field more often which will make them better late in games. Anyone familiar with Carolina football will chuckle before answering if you ask them if our defense has spent too much time on the field these past few years. We have a good kicker coming in (Ryan Succopp) which makes me stop and think when the last time we've had a good kicker was. Would we have tried to kick a 40something yard field goal against Ole Miss last year if we'd have had a decent kicker? Would we have even been behind at all? We had a need and it's now all-but-filled. I see that all over the place thus far in recruiting...we've had needs and Spurrier looks like he's going right for them. Everywhere you look, we're going to be an improved football team. We were already 6-5 with a couple "could've, should've" games...so in all seriousness, our excitement could just be that we know our team and what they're capable of RIGHT NOW, not 3-4 years from now. Can Spurrier bring it all together so soon? I don't think he has all that much work to do outside of finding a legitimate starting QB for his system and in that effort, I put all of my faith in him. ![]() UF might have showing up Spurrier as motivation come November 12 but USC will have a 48-14 loss at the swamp to put on the bulletin board WITH Spurrier's wanting to show up UF as icing. Like I said, MAY THE BEST TEAM WIN, BAY-BEE!!! ![]() | ||

| Well, Spurrier got his first real taste of bad news as WR Sledge decommits from us & is going to UF while the lineman Hannah from NC announced he's going to VPI. ![]() | ||

If you noticed, in the article below, they have stayed in contact with this guy. It sounds like to me that Spurrier was planning on losing one or two. USC Loses WR, Looks Elsewhere It was confirmed on several internet reports Sunday night that WR Eric Sledge (6-4 195) of Apopka, FL had dropped his commitment to USC in favor of one to Florida. One prospect the Gamecocks might turn to to fill the void, if they feel the need to do so, is WR Ruben Jackson (5-10 190) of City College of San Francisco. USC has maintained contact with Jackson through assistant coach Steve Spurrier Jr. Jackson said Sunday night Spurrier called him last week and plans to contact him again this week. He said USC wants him to visit February 4th, the weekend after National Signing Day. Jackson said he would consider doing that because he's not sure he'll sign February 2nd. Jackson has visited Oregon State and is scheduled to visit Arizona this coming weekend. This season Jackson had 76 catches for 1493 yards and 15 touchdowns. | ||

| Well, from what I read, Sledge was only a 3-star recruit anyway....not a 5-star Parade All American or something...... it doesn't appear Spurrier is making any inroads into any of the nation's elite regardless. He's just bringing in bodies. I think what we have to hope is that Spurrier's SYSTEM will achieve some immediate results, because he is just not going to have the talent. It's incredible to me that USC has such a hard time in football and basketball recruiting. Columbia's not a bad spot compared to some of these other places.....but I guess the lack of a winning tradition really kills you. | ||

| Its not like we've had terrible recruiting classes lately. We have a lot more talent at our school than our record shows over the last few years. | ||

| losing chips is a big problem, and we will lose a few, but I think that "plan b" will ultimately be our saviour. | ||
