I think Foster is the perfect development qb for us this year. I'm happy with the way things are working out.

The South Carolina recruiting efforts are focused on the 2018 class, but there’s this 2019 5-star running back from right up the road named Quavaris Crouch.
He’s the top player from the state of North Carolina, and the Gamecocks have a legitimate shot to land to sign him during next year’s recruiting cycle. Of course, they’re in the mix with several of the nation’s premier, including Alabama, Clemson, Georgia, Michigan and Ohio State.
Crouch, who was recently named Gatorade North Carolina Player of the Year, rushed for 3,246 yards 33 touchdowns during his junior season at Harding University High School in Charlotte, N.C., to go along with 51 tackles and 14 sacks.
Harding also won the North Carolina 4A state championship.
While Crouch is certainly a big reason why, there were number of super talented players on his team, including 3-star offensive guard Jovaughn Gwyn, who’s considering South Carolina and North Carolina State.
Crouch’s older brother, Malik Dunlap, is a 2018 defensive back who’s committed to N.C. State. Quarterback Braheam Murphy is committed to play for Army. And several of their teammates from the 2019 and 2020 classes will also so on to play at the next level.
Below is a well-put-together story from Sporting News on Crouch, his teammates and their coach Sam Greiner, who guided Harding to its first state title since 1953.

Man I hope we can land this monster. It'd be nice to land the Top 2 RBs in the same class.

...James Foster, who was one of the 24 finalists at the Elite 11 camp in the summer and has been the starter for the Lanier Poets (man, they really need a new mascot badly) since his freshman year, definitely out-plays his three-star composite ranking, and picked up offers from the likes of Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi State in recent weeks.
While listed as a dual-threat quarterback, he does a great job of staying in the pocket to make the throw instead of always evading at the first sign of it collapsing. A lot of quarterbacks that have even decent speed have the propensity to tuck it and run at the first sign of trouble. I think that shows some of his maturity and experience that has come from being a three-year starter. When he does uncork a pass, he has solid arm strength and a quick release.
The one throw that I appreciate the most in the above video that shows he is more than just a thrower is at the 2:40 mark. He throws it a bit behind his receiver not because it’s a bad throw but he noticed the lurking safety that would’ve made a play had he led his receiver. Any highly-ranked quarterback can sling the deep ball, but showing the wherewithal to see things like that is what can separate great from good...
