re: Football Recruiting Thread (2017 Cycle): Signing Day Updated!

The top Safety on our board, 4* Hamsah Nasirildeen has SC in his top 5. TRob is his primary recruiter and he said that SC and UF are recruiting him the hardest.

His teammate 4* DT Rick Sandidge also really likes SC. We have help there in Concord and will at least be in this until the end.


ETA: Just got back to from the barber shop. Apparently Hamsah isn't looking to transfer to JM Robinson anymore from Concord. He was worried about Concord's QB situation next year, but now he is not. They have a 6'3" QB transferring in from Rowan who's supposed to be pretty good.

This is my personal take on it. Clemson does have good wrs right now and didn't even offer smith until things started looking shaky elsewhere. He may fall into our lap Brian Edwards style, more on him later. Secondly we have the most room for improvement when it comes to our pitch. Clemson has had about as much success as you can have without winning it all so unless they do so, we stand to make up ground on that aspect. One crucial element would be the success of young wrs like Edwards, told you id make it back to him, or Banks or pollard. If we somehow walk away from this season with a bowl win and the help of some younger players at his position it will cement the fact that he can come in early and make a name for himself. All of that to have a shot even with it there's no guarantee.

Yeah I think we are definitely playing from behind. In other news, looks like Ty'son Williams has decided to join our ranks. He does have to sit out a year though. Plans to walk on this season and then try to get a schollie for 2017. I'm sure we can find room for him, as he is very talented.

Fedora's decision to NOT give Ty'Son Williams the release is hurting him and UNC more than he realizes. This was a huge strategic error on his part. There are several HS coaches I know who called "bullshite" on this. This is really some of the best negative recruiting ammo that another coach can have.

I think this may honestly turn into another Bryan Edwards situation. Clemson didn't even offer smith of the bay Cuz they wanted Rodgers and Higgins. Both have committed. With the depth they have, Smith may not get an offer for wr and they go after him for dB.

Yes but things change moving to nsd. All I'm saying is if they get Higgins and Rodgers they might back off of him at the position. They have 11wrs already with only one that is likely headed out. I just don't see them bringing more than 2.

Honestly I would think he is a take for them simply to keep him out of Columbia. At this point, the more you gain out of the state, the less there is for us. Clemson is a sexy program right now having just played in the Natty so they're already attractive to all the good in state players, making it easy for Clemson to pile on good recruits.

Sounds like Jaymest Williams is really feeling the Gamecocks. According to some recruitniks, he may be a silent commit to SCAR. If Champ can close the deal, you’d be getting one of the best football players in this class. His only knock is height, but he plays like he’s 6’3.

SC picking up more CB's for 4* CB, Jamyest Williams

I think the prevailing thought is "God we need this guy."

What is the prevailing thought from Carolina insiders? I’ve read from two 247 national writers that say he is already a silent. Contrary to what others are saying, UGA is still pushing for him. He may not be the top CB on their board, but he is considered a “must-get” because of his relationship with others in the state.

I saw that about the national writer's thoughts. Our insiders just say he is favoring the Gamecocks right now. I think he's a smart kid. He knows he could go a lot of places and earn playing time, however, looking at our depth chart it doesn't take a rocket scientist to even figure out that he'd have a real chance of starting day 1.
