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....

WR Cameron Kenney has canceled his visit to USC this weekend according to TheBigSpur.com. The site is reporting that he is down to Georgia and Auburn with a lean towards UGA.
