Sucks for USC that kid is a little spark plug. I wish we could talk him into walkin on or something.

I can't say I really blame them.

That was a pretty bitch move by South Carolina to cut him completely loose this late in the game.

Screw USC for what they did to him. It really sucks for Davis. He had commitable offers to other D1 schools and passed on them for USC. Now he may be screwed

And for those that don't know. Tucker produces a decent amount of DI talent.

Including but not limited to...

- 4* ATH Drayton Calhoun, 3* ATH Jonathan Davis, 3* DT Deion Roberson this year and 2* DE Tevin Holliman this year alone all in Georgia Top 100.

- 4* S Jamoris Slaughter and 3* S Neiko Lipscomb in Georgia Top 50 last year.

- 3* TE Brandon Lampkin, 4* CB Asher Allen, 3* ATH Myke Compton, 3* LB Tavares Kearney all in the Top 40/50 since 2005.

So what if my son is a junior this year and has been a life long USCe fan and dreams of playing for this school. What gives this coach the right to say they can't recruit players at his school?

Exactly. I'll be damned if a coach has the ultimate say. This is the kids life and that shouldn't be taken away from him. I'd pull my kid out of that school in a heartbeat if it really came down to it

probably means he can't visit the school

ETA: Spurrier can't visit, that is. I'd bet after this, pretty much every player on that team will be turned off on SC from now on anyway.

It's not like he can ban his players from going there, but it looks like he'll not keep in contact with Spurrier at all. I'm sure he'll have words of discouragement to not commit to USCe though until Spurrier leaves.

He can't stop it however he can make things very difficult to the point it wouldn't be worth the trouble unless the guy was a big cock fan.

I think Davis is going to be a good player. It's always fun watching a guy like that who people say is too small stick it to all the coaches that told him that.

It is the same as a coach steering kids to certain school's or away from certain schools. Let the kids decide what school they want to go to. The players at that school see what USCe did and do you think any of them will be commiting to them for the next few years? So Spurrier will be punished for this without the coach.

Somebody will jump on him. They'll miss on a commit and use him to plug the hole. It really does suck that the cocks did this so late in the game though.

Since we've hired Cooper I've been hoping we offer him. He'll be a very good player at any position he ends up. Played FB/MLB at Tucker and even projects as a Safety, Outside LB or RB.
