Was listening to Cary (Rich) today on 107.5 The Game and he was really high on what Coach Martin is doing with recruiting. I think one, or both, of these latest guys has a connection to Coach Martin through his HS coach or something. Good friends, maybe a former player who is now coaching, or something.

All of these big men he is recruiting are very decent prospects as well ... not just desperation takes. These guys fit Martin's system. I'm really looking forward to seeing what he can develop these guys into along with what we have returning.

I'm highly optimistic about our men's program.

I know this is probably not the thread for this next class Frank Martin has put together ... but both Staley and Martin just had very decent early signing classes for next year yesterday and today.

These two coaches can recruit.

quote:
Jason Cudd (Socastee, Myrtle Beach) - The 7-foot, 250-pound center is South Carolina’s first signee of 2017 class, but others are expected to join him during the early signing period.

quote:
Felipe Haase (6-10), “I’m very excited to sign my Letter of Intent today with South Carolina,” Haase said in a release to zagsblog.com. “It’s been a longtime dream of mine to play NCAA college basketball. I’m very fortunate to be in this position.

The Miami (Fla.) Christian School is the third low-post addition for South Carolina in 2017, joining 7-foot center Jason Cudd (Myrtle Beach, S.C.) and 3-star power forward Ibrahim Doumbia (Miami, Fla.).

As expected, Lower Richland High School (Hopkins, S.C.) guard Clyde Trapp Jr. announced on Wednesday that he has signed with Clemson. The unranked prospect scooped up an offer from the Tigers during his official visit over the weekend.

quote:
USC women’s basketball coach Dawn Staley announced that Top 50 recruits Elisia Grissett (Durham, N.C./Hillside) and LaDazhia Williams (Bradenton, Fla./Lakewood Ranch) signed National Letters of Intent to play for the Gamecocks.

A 6-foot-1 guard, Grissett’s ranked the No. 24 prospect overall and the No. 4 wing in the 2017 Class on the espnW 100. The versatile guard posted 22.2 points, 9.3 rebounds, 3.2 steals and 3.0 blocks per game as a junior.

A top-50 recruit in the espnW 100, the 6-2 Williams is the 12th-ranked forward in the 2017 Class. Before participating in the 2016 USA Basketball U18 National Team Trials, Williams was tabbed Florida Association of Basketball Coaches 7A Player of the Year.

USC also signed Bianca Jackson (Montgomery, Ala./Brewbaker Tech Magner) and Haley Troup (Gadsden, Ala./Gadsden).
