Will Muschamp started Monday- this week has been to FL, AL, GA, NC, SC, PA recruiting and has less than 1/2 staff. #Boom #Gamecocks




Some news on who's visiting this weekend, a light but important crowd:

quote:

Hannahan (S.C.) three-star wide receiver and Virginia Tech commitment Samuel Denmark will take an official visit to South Carolina after landing an offer from head coach Will Muschamp earlier this week... If the coaches can make him feel wanted and that he can be a big part of the offense moving forward, I think they have a realistic shot to land him this weekend. Denmark is an early enrollee.

South Carolina is also trying to make a late move with Coffeyville (Kan.) cornerback Jamarcus King, who some sources believe is the top junior college cornerback in the country... I think the Gamecocks also have a realistic shot at King if all goes well this weekend.

South Carolina will also play host to Deerfield Beach (Fla.) four-star wide receiver Cavin Ridley, who is the younger brother of Alabama star freshman wide receiver Calvin Ridley. It will not be easy to land the 6-foot-1, 198 pounder, as most expect him to join his brother in Tuscaloosa, but it speaks volumes about Robinson’s talents as a recruiter that he can get Ridley on campus so soon after arriving in Columbia.

Official Visitors List:
4* QB Brandon McIlwain
4* WR Bryan Edwards
4* WR Cavin Ridley
4* CB Jamarcus King
3* RB CJ Freeman
3* WR Samuel Denmark

The Offense emphasis is strong with this group ... let's hope McIlwain can do some solid recruiting for us, help his own cause with the WR and RB talent.

Jamarcus King, I was told this morning, is out of the same mold as Stephon Gilmore, like a carbon copy, but everyone thinks he is headed to Auburn right? I hope T-Rob can change that.

He was an Auburn lean, but mainly because of his relationship with TRob & Muschamp, everything I've heard is we have a good chance of getting him.

Some Friday Updates:

quote:

-- The players were scheduled to arrive at the Inn at USC this afternoon. It's the same place that the official visitors typically stay. The players and staff are having dinner tonight in the Champions Club at Williams-Brice Stadium.

-- Brandon McIlwain and his family have made it in.

-- Offensive coordinator Kurt Roper is in town, at least for tonight. I'm not sure if he'll be in town at all tomorrow or not, but I know he's spending time tonight with the McIlwains.

-- Jamarcus King has made it in for his official visit.

-- Bobby Bentley and Travaris Robinson, obviously, are in town and with the recruits as well.

What's the deal with Darius Whitfield?

He's pretty solid, right?

He was on twitter tonight challenging GamecockNation to have 3000 fans follow him. Last count was over 2000 within a 30 minute span.

3* CB Chris Smith reaffirmed his commitment to USC as did the new staff. He's also teammate of a current 2016 target 3* CB Nick McCloud.

quote:

South Pointe defensive back Chris Smith remains fully committed to South Carolina, and vice versa.

Smith (5-10, 170) said he heard from new coach Will Muschamp this week and got positive feedback on his high school film and his future as a Gamecock. Smith intends to be an early enrollee at USC.

More Friday Night Updates:

quote:

-- Will Muschamp and Shawn Elliott are both there. That should go pretty much without saying, I think.

-- Ellis Johnson was not there tonight. I'm not sure what the deal is there. Maybe Tony can look into that tomorrow, but I won't have any answers on that tonight.

-- I wasn't given an exact number of players there or who all was there, but I think there were about six or eight guys. T.J. Holloman, Deebo Samuel and Christian Pellage are ones I know who are there.

-- Bryan Edwards arrived, but he didn't get there until about 9:15 tonight.

-- Sam Denmark and C.J. Freeman have arrived. I haven't been able to confirm on Cavin Ridley one way or the other. Just because I don't know that he's there doesn't mean that he isn't. I just haven't confirmed it.

-- The feedback I've gotten is Kurt Roper has been very well received. I'm told he's very sharp and just seems like a genuinely good guy.

I have confirmed that Cavin Ridley made it in, so all six guys who were expected to make it in have done so.
