I know hindsight is 20/20 but this Morant kid left basically unnoticed.
Does our staff even attempt to recruit in the state?

One issue is there are people, instate, that get in these kids ears and push them away from USC. The main one is Senator Paster Daryl Jackson's son here in Columbia. He has told the kids they can't achieve success here and helps get them out of state. He is involved with the aau around here.

to be fair, that article says we gave him a look.
Not sure if this means a scholarship was offered
quote:
According to Tee Morant, 13 Division I programs made official courtships for Ja, including Frank Martin's South Carolina Gamecocks. (Tee Morant said Clemson was interested, too, but didn't have an available scholarship on the table.) Regardless, most schools only came calling after Murray State found him.
I know rankings aren't the end all but he wasn't even rated and from that article played for a less known AAU team without a shoe company backing them.
if all that story is true about him (being that good in AAU with Zion) he should have played for a much better AAU team.
