He may not announce until the UA game
I'm fairly certain he said he would in an interview. Pretty sure it was posted somewhere in this thread.
Obviously would be a huge get. I think in his mind, he doesn't necessarily want to be compared to big brother all the time, especially since his brother has had such success as a freshman already over in T Town. I could see him signing with us just for that fact.

I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that it pans-out. I have confirmed that a visit, here, has taken place. If we do sign this person it will be maybe the biggest recruiting haul of the new era ... seriously, I'm not kidding, it would be big, huge even. The offer is on the table, now we play the waiting game.
Kid named Fred Hansard is tweeting now that "I'm loving these #WeCocky fans" with Gamecock emojis.
Not familiar with him but apparently Michigan is after him hard.
Could this be one of the cryptic "H"es in your anagram?
He came out of nowhere suddenly tweeting about us and it was some of our newest commits retweeting it hard.

Doesn't have an offer from us, but he's a very good player.

He definitely seems like he would LIKE an offer from us.

You know we are picking up a lot of steam when Top 10 players at their position who don't have an offer from us are tweeting about us.
This is a really good sign.

I know this belongs in the coaching thread...but any idea who the second coach could be?
SC Sports Now tweeted that Champ had inked a deal with another big get on the coaching staff.. I asked if he was referring to the Georgia coach and he replied, "yes indeed. I'm referring to one but there could be two....wait for it."
????
ETA:
Some reports on twitter that Rico Dowdle committed but we JUST offered him. Thinking the reports meant to say he was offered...not committed. Anybody know the dealio?

Georgia's gonna LOVE that.
We're just pilfering and pillaging from err'body.
Nobody's coaches or recruits are safe from the Boom Phenomenon.

Very interesting dynamic going-on Hansard's twitter account ...
... and remember that tweet from some dipshit Gamecock fan who tweeted to Freeman that we didn't want him because he was only a 3 star? Hansard retweeted Freeman's reply although the original tweet has been removed ...
From the looks of both Hansard's and Freeman's tweets they are good, close, friends.
Who knows.

New 2016 RB Offer...wow. I didn't believe it at first,
I thought 'NO WAY could a kid like this go under the radar so long.'
Then I thought, 'someone is exaggerating his stats, those can't be legit.'
Today, SC offered a 2016 RB, unranked Rico Dowdle from AC Reynolds HS in NC. AC Reynolds was a playoff team this year, made the 2nd round (3AA, 3rd highest classification in NC, same as Concord, Southern, Hickory Ridge and Crest). I had never heard of this kid though, but to be fair he is on the opposite side of the state.
I wondered what the hell we were doing offering an unranked RB so late in the process, so I looked at his maxpreps stats.
Sr Season
6'0"
201 lbs
4.4 40 yd
3.8 shuttle
285 lbs bench
415 lbs squat
214 Carries, 2,382 rushing yards, 11.1 ypc avg, 48 rushing TD's,
90 Completions, 68.4% comp, 1,211 passing yards, 10 TD's, 4 INT's
70 Total TD's.
https://www.maxpreps.com/athlete/rico-dowdle/Q3pHJ_TuEeKZ5AAmVebBJg/gendersport/football-stats.htm
Then I look at his Jr and Soph seasons and there aren't really any stats of note, so I wondered if someone was embellishing the numbers.
So then I decided to look at his highlight reels below.
Rico Dowdle Sr Season Highlights - 1st 3 weeks
Rico Dowdle Sr Season - Week 7 -Western NC POTW - 232 yds rushing 6 TD's
Rico Dowdle Sr Season - Week 12 - Western NC POTW - 282 yds rushing, 6 TD's
Rico Dowdle Jr Season Highlights, wore #10, not #5.
Here's what I saw on the highlight reels:
- For him to do what he did with that fat, out of shape OL is pretty damn spectacular. They DID NOT block well for him.
- He is fast, maybe not 4.4 fast, but absolutely sub 4.6. If you told me he ran an electronically timed 4.5, I would believe you. He has really solid acceleration, but the it really kicks in at 2nd gear. He can get going early, but when he's on the 5th-ish step, that's when his acceleration seems to really pop and he starts flying by people.
- He does the thing Nyheim Hines and AJ Turner do when they are cutting with their feet moving, but he looks like he's floating. He really just seems like he's gliding out there, very smooth runner.
- Keeps his shoulder pads even, but needs to lower them more going through the line.
- He only lost 1 fumble this year, but I find that amazing b/c he doesn't switch the ball to his outside shoulder/arm, he runs with it in his right hand all the time. Also, he doesn't get to hands on the ball before/during contact, he's always trying to stiff arm someone or balance himself.
- He has solid vision and can find the holes in the defense.
- We could absolutely use him as a Wildcat option b/c he can pass really well for a RB.
The whole reason nobody heard about him is b/c in 2013 and 2014 he didn't play much, he had a fraction of the snaps he had in 2015. NC State caught wind of him this fall, had him in for an OV last week and offered.
He has to do some things to improve the way he moves with the ball, but that's coachable. He makes a lot of plays, has good vision and really good athletic ability.

Hansard would be a great get for the 2017 class. Let's get on him!

Brandon McIlwaiin bumped up to a 4* on Rivals. These clowns downgraded him right before the Elite 11 Semifinals, then he won MVP at that event, but they waited until now...after he was named in the Final Elite 11 and the PA Gatorade Player of the Year.
He got a good bump 2.5 points in the 247 Composite as well, as a result.

Rooster...I tweeted back to him that it was a poorly disguised tater and they were petty little bitches and he retweeted it.
LOL...talking to a Georgia fan @ work and he said "I don't even wanna talk about it..y'all takin' our coach and all those recruits y'all picked up in a day...man it just ain't fair."
LOVE IT!!!!!
And we need to make a move on Hansard, fo'sho.

CC ... that's good you tweeted to Freeman, the guy that tweeted that to him was definitely out of line.
