I saw that on 247 today, that's a great feature they are doing now. They seem pretty confident, like 100% about some of our top targets coming to USC.
I think we get Ritche and/or Crosby as well.
I also think we are somewhere at a 33% chance to get Berrios. Splitting with UNC and NC State.
We already have Joe Blue too and Allen-Williams committed as well. So with those 2, the 100% guys, Barker, Crosby/Ritche, that puts us at 13 or 14.
If we get Hand, who we are trailing for right now, then that will that will make 14 or 15, allowing us to probably take 2 more. If we miss on Hand, we will probably take the commit from Jhaustin Thomas. (Although we might take him regardless if he can come in January and Deke likes him.)
Altogether, I think we sign 15-17 guys, most of them will be 4 stars or up. This very well could be the best class on paper since the '07 class and certainly the best group of SC players since the '10 class.

I agree about Crosby but Bama and Florida are both going to make big pushes for him. And I agree about Ritchie given how we are going to use the TEs this year added to our Goose Creek connections.
If Barrios goes out of state it'll be to us. I'm just not sure we'll stay on him long enough for him to drag his feet and make his decision. It'll be something along the lines of what happened with the kid at Gaffney last year ending-up at UNC by default - so I'd put Barrios more at 25% and add an as of yet unknown suitor to the list.
Hand is gonna be a tough pull but who knows, stranger things have happened. If Clowney can actually work some magic, and evidently the two do talk and text, then who knows.
Okay, so we're back to:
Shaq Davidson ATH (who we are going to sign)
Donell Stanley OL (who we are going to have to fight Bama over)
Bentley Spain OL ( who we are going to sign)
Derrell Scott DB (who is going to make us work hard against OSU and FSU but I sure like our chances)
Dexter Wideman DL (who worries me some - but it's not 100% by any means IMHO. I'd put it more at 70% right now)
Poona Ford DT (is ours and I love this guy except for one thing)
Terry Googer ATH (love this guy but it's gonna be a battle vs Charlie Strong and Rodney Gardner but I like Whammy's chances to land him)
Bryson Allen-Williams LB (big time get!)
Blake Bone WR (he's ours if he can withstand the local pressure trying to get him to go to Clemson)
And you're right, Jhaustin Thomas is dependent on three things ... 1 Hand, 2 Early Enrollment, 3 Someone else not offering him earlier. He's a big time player, I hope he sticks with us and we stick with him. I keep hearing we will regardless of whether Hand commits to us early enough to make a difference or not. Besides, go ahead and keep Jhaustin and no matter the circumstances, you're going to take Hand if he puts your hat on come signing day - and make room for him.
I think Drew Barker ends-up at Tennessee or Kentucky once he gets a good look at our depth chart at QB.
Dillon Bates - duh, Tennessee. But would it shock anyone to see him at Bama or Florida if Tennessee flops under Jones this year? Either way he is zero chance of playing for SC and that's not a bad thing IMHO.
Dashawn Hand - it's between us, Michigan, Bama and Florida in the end IMHO. Va Tech will not be a player. I don't believe Lawing is going to be able to keep selling himself as "Clowney's Mentor" when Clowney is telling Hand differently. Bama is Bama and Michigan is Michigan but I think that kid is gonna wanna play in the SEC. So it's gonna come down to us and Bama and who knows, that might mean that it comes down to who wins in Atlanta.
Marlon Humphrey - he's Bama all the way.
Wesley Green - I like our chances with him a lot more this week than I did two weeks ago.
Peyton Newell - depends on the coaching situation at Nebraska come December IMHO.
Milan Richard - no way, he's definitely a Dawg.
Naquez Pringle - I hear Deke is making inroads with him.
Caleb Kinlaw - no way
