Carolina makes the short list for 2 big time recruits

RB Marcus Lattimore (6-0 210) of Byrnes yesterday reduced his list to a final five. Lattimore is down to South Carolina, UNC, Auburn, Penn State and Oregon. No love for Clemson...we can relate.

Also DL Ego Ferguson Jr. (6-3 260) of Hargrave Prep, VA reduced his list to 14 schools and South Carolina is still in the hunt with this guy. This kid would be great to get and this past week he was voted the best defensive lineman in the national prospect camp in Orlando.

Lastly, the ongoing situation in trying to lure DB Darrell Givens to USC is still going on and word should come this week. Rumor is he is '50-50.'

Grabbing these 3 kids to play at Carolina would be tremendous, cross your fingers and toes.
