USC Recruiting Update – Coming down the stretch

ESPN Recruiting Rankings
2009 Team Rankings by Rivals
Scout.com Team Recruiting Rankings

So as you can see from the above the gamecocks are floating around #12 or #14 which means a Top 15 class and means if it holds true it will be the second Top 15 class for Spurrier in the last 3 yrs. I like this class as it is loaded with talent and strengthens the defense but puts into place some much needed talent/speed.

What is left to go after or still on the board? Well here are 8 that LOHD hopes Spurrier is talking with to get in; heck we will take any of these below to add to a stellar class….yes stellar.

But wait…no QB in the mix? In Garcia we trust…..?

• WR Alshon Jeffery, Calhoun Co. / Speed and more speed. Has So Cal on his radar but case to stay close and drink sweet tea is trying to be made by USC.
• DE Sam Montgomery, Greenwood / If USC can land him it would prove to be a gold mine for the Defense. Can you imagine Norwood and Sam? Get the “Sam I Am” Tshirts made….
• OL Quinton Washington, Timberland /Has Michigan, Clemson and Tennessee trying to persuade him along with SC. It is simple – we need OLs.
• WR Lamar Scruggs, Fletcher (Jacksonville, Fla.) / Lanky receiver has offers from Mississippi and USF. USC’s case is we need WRs to make plays….early playing time of interest?
• WR Cameron Kenney, Garden City (Kan.) Garden City C.C. / Has sights on Auburn but all that is open now with SC and UGA pursuing him. He can fill McKinley shoes ASAP.
• OL Kwame Geathers, Carvers Bay (SC) Carvers Bay / Big boy at 6-6 and I do not have to express to you USC’s need for lineman.
• ATH Travante Stallworth, Leesburg, LA / Has the speed that is dangerous….4.4….USC needs Speed. Michigan, Miss and Auburn are in the running.
• CB Darrell Givens, Indian Head, MD / Went from Ohio State to being firm with Penn State but now USC needs a CB…now. Captain left which means we need a CB now. Ellis Johnson has zoned in on him as his man to be the CB to fill the void. USC has been the NFL DB Univ for a while now so it makes sense for him to come…right?

  Thoughts? What about a QB in this class? Moseley and Petty have interest….
