How is South Carolina more desirable? They have a FAR worse history than Mizzou. They were competitive for 3 years.

How is SC a better destination?


Location, location, location.

Recruiting the top players in the south to South Carolina is a HELL of a lot easier than convincing them to go to Mizzou .

Families in Florida, Georgia, Carolinas, etc all can make it pretty easily to South Carolina within a few hours (ok, maybe not Miami players).

There are tons of players right in the area that a good coach can easily convince to go to South Carolina over Mizzou.

Not to mention, living in South Carolina is a bit, well, nicer than Missouri. Especially pigeon holed between the two shite holes of St. Louis and Kansas City.

As far as history goes (as far as recruiting goes), neither team has anything significant going for it from a football perspective.

When was the last time any of you won a conference title?

Guess it all comes down to whether he wants control of his team or the team to control him.

You also have to compete against bigger name schools all around you down in SC. Herman is more familiar with the recruiting landscape up North anyway.

Both teams last won a conference title in football in 1969.
