    South Carolina has landed verbal commitment No. 10 in the form of Georgia defensive end David Johnson.

    However, Johnson said while he is 100-percent committed to South Carolina, he will still visit other schools. He wants to check out Alabama, Ole Miss, Vanderbilt, Auburn and UGA, among others.

    “I was trying to wait to see if Alabama was going to offer,” Johnson said. “They have not offered but their coaches said they are still going to recruit me. It’s the same thing with Georgia. If they had offered me, then they would be right up there with the rest of them.

    What if Alabama or UGA offers in the future? “I might change my mind, I might not. If I do de-commit, then I’m not going to commit again until signing day.”

  • JC said...Remains to be seen, but the chances of him being a take just went down. The Gamecocks will evaluate the numbers and go from there- will they grow Johnson into a DT like Ingram and still take Washington? Is Johnson going to be the guy instead of Washington? Those are questions they will answer.

    JC -I think this is why it is so great to get a guy like this in the fold early. Like you said, if Johnson doesn't stay at end he can possibly "grow" into a DT. There are so few "true" high-level DT's playing that position in high school (e.g. a Shariff Floyd) & the traditional powers seem to have a lock on those

    Edit: Well dang!! Didn't get on here yesterday and, reading farther down, I see we get to have our cake AND eat it too, w/Johnson AND Washington!! Heady times...great job, coaches!!

  • JC, Johnson is the 34th ranked player in jawja.

    Would he be the #1 ranked player in SC this year?

    That makes it sound like he settled. I hope that is not the case.

    What do you make of these quotes, JC? Josh? Paul? or Tony?
