Phil Steele and the Gamecocks

Phil Steele, a college football guru of sorts, has nine members of the USC Gamecocks Football team littered on his Pre-Season College Football All-SEC and All-American lists. 
 
Whether you like Phil or not, his magazine is a good read during the summer to get you ready for college football.  Yes – a lot of what he says in his writings does not prove true but that can be said about a lot of sports writers and bloggers. 
 
Here is the breakdown of the Gamecocks on his lists –
  • Stephon Gilmore is listed as 1st team All-SEC at CB
  • Cliff Matthews is listed as a 1st team All-SEC at DE
  • Stephon Gilmore is listed as 2nd team All-SEC as a PR
  • Alshon Jeffery is listed as 3rd team All-SEC at WR
  • Ladi Ajiboye is listed as 3rd team All-SEC at DT
  • Chris Culliver is listed as a 3rd team All-SEC at CB
  • Marcus Lattimore is listed as a 3rd team All-SEC at RB
  • Weslye Saunders is listed as a 4th team All-SEC at TE
  • Shaq Wilson is listed as a 4th team All-SEC at LB
  • Spencer Lanning is listed as a 4th team All-SEC at P
  • Phil Steele also has Stephon Gilmore listed as a 4th team All-American at CB
Phil also has USC listed number 21 going into the 2010 season….too high or too low?  Thinking about that question gets me ready for some football which is 98 days away.
