Coach Spurrier Jr. gets an A+ for his duties as recruiting coordinator thus far. In what is a stark change from previous years, the Gamecocks are sitting at 13 commitments right now. Most years the team comes out of the summer with 5-6, which inevitably perturbs the fanbase because the tigers to the northwest are always well into double digits by that time. Most of the time the prospects giving their pledge to the Gamecocks in the summer are lower rated guys who looked good in camp. Sleepers, we are told. Is that term overused or what? But not this year. The 13 commits are almost all highly touted players. Can this be attributed to last year's success on the field and drubbing the tigers for the second year in a row? Yes. However, a lot of credit needs to go to the coaching staff and Coach Jr. Last weekend felt like the last week of January to those who follow recruiting closely. The only question is, what are we going to do after football season to pass the time if the class is already almost complete? Spend more time at church I guess.
