I like how the concept of limited spots is well above your level of understanding.

I like how a spot only became limited after committing elsewhere

And Daniel was projected to take up one of those spots for the last month.

Who knows what happened. Chances are we never will. I'm very confident that we will replace his spot with someone as good or better, but that doesn't necessarily mean he wasn't a take for us.

In the absence of full knowledge, I simply say congrats to the cocks and good luck to the kid.

Here it is straight from the horse's mouth.
quote:

“I didn’t want to just go where everybody else wanted me to go,” Daniel said Thursday. “I wanted to go where I wanted to go. I wanted to do something different.”

He also has offers from Alabama and Auburn. Before he committed, 10 recruiting experts had predicted he’d end up with the Bulldogs. USC was his first FBS offer.

“I feel like I chose South Carolina because God gave me a sign,” he said. “He has been with me each step in my life and I’m sure He will be in the future.”

Daniel said he had not made his final decision until Thursday and that USC defensive coordinator Travaris Robinson was the first to know. Daniel called Robinson 20 minutes before his 2 p.m. news conference at Georgia Military College in Milledgeville, Ga.

The Gamecocks have one of his former teammates on the roster in defensive tackle Jabari Ellis. Daniel will graduate in December and have two years of eligibility with the Gamecocks.

Not every "projected" player can fit in a class thanks to NCAA limits on roster size.

We'll see if UGA keeps recruiting him. Right now, the other site thinks he was told to hold off on his commitment and he got tired of waiting. From very good sources seems to be a B1G flip coming to UGA. Let's see how it plays out. Something definitely happened here and the SC recruiting experts were just as surprised as everyone else.

Don't know what else to say man. Some of y'all won't be happy unless all Georgia fans melt about missing on the kid, declare muschamp the greatest recruiter of all time, and call for the firing and execution of Kirby Smart.

We have certainly lost to Will before. We would have loved to have signed Sandidge, Hilinski and Pickens. I'm not ashamed to say that. If we continue recruiting this kid, I'll admit we lost again. But it certainly has the look of something different than that.

Most of us are going off of Rusty's comments..he is more in tune with the recruiting at uga than anyone and he said y'all lost out on Daniel last minute. shite happens in recruiting don't make up "well this is what i was told by my moms sister who is friends with his cousins sister....."

Also Korean...many in your fanbase think Sandidge flipped on signing day and was turned away....but we both know no defensive minded guy like Kirby turns a dlineman like Sandidge away..especially on the interior of the dl

Edit: seems to be a new thing with Kirby (who is a great recruiter) that if you lose in a non 5* y'all said no...whichis complete bs

Also couple in Wiltfong the most locked in guy in recruiting missed on him....just admit it trib abd boom out recruited kirby and Tucker for a guy...guess what it happens

It's why we got guys like BMac. TRob, Lance, and Boom all are stud recruiters...id also add in Bobby Bentley cut he is early in his career as a legot positiin coach

Most of us are going by Rusty's comments, the same Rusty who is "more in tune with the recruiting at uga than anyone" per you.
