Good find. Probably is Max Tucker. After watching his highlights, I hope it is Tucker.

We landed a commit from Boston. My best guess is Osinubi. Unless it’s a DB, in which case I have no idea.

Bump for updates and fresh links to Rivals profiles and highlight films. WR, DL, and OL are also updated.

Curious to know what you don’t like about him @bigjim? What I see is a safety who’s not afraid to be physical and will come down in the box to hit. He’s only 185lbs now, but should easily get up to 200lbs. I know South Gwinnett has an excellent strength and conditioning program, but many of these kids do not receive the proper nutrition to assist in their physical development. That’ll change when he arrives here.

We also offered his teammates CB Devin Thomas and LB Tymere Burton.

Commitment from 2023 S/WR Darius Owens. Seems to be a good one and under the radar. Hudl film

There isn’t a 2024 thread, but South Carolina also landed 2024 DB Karson Hobbs out of Cincinnati. Akron also offered.

As mentioned before, Shivers committed to South Carolina today. Akron was never in it for Shivers, but the staff is pursuing guys that should be at the Power 5 level.

Ginetti committed to Air Force.

Bump for roster update. Also linked to their Rivals profiles and added game film.

The interviewer did a nice job with his questions. JoeMo also chose his words carefully and made sure to point out others after talking about an individual. If you didn’t know any better you’d think he was the coach for the past few years with the way he made sure to speak about “we” and speak about improvement areas without throwing anyone under the bus.

And a few more gone: OLB Juan Jarrett DL Janirr Wade

Yep. According to his twitter, he is one the current staff re-offered.

We’re in his top 7 like @94zipgrad mentioned. Ive been on the lookout for players we’ve offered and where we stand in the process. For some of the players it’s not easy to tell if the previous staff was who offered, and if that offer still stands, or if the new staff has re-offered. The current staff does not have to honor the offers that went out by the previous staff. To add to the lack of clarity is which schools are actually pushing for the player. For instance with Howard just because he has an offer from Louisville and they are in his “top 7”, it doesn’t actually mean they are holding a spot for him. They may have guys higher on their priority list. On the flip side, we may be pushing for him and be one of the leaders. Hard to know without talking to the players or coaches. Just speculation on my part.

Another one to watch.

I updated Kameron Cheatom’s profile. According to Cheatom, Moorehead’s staff re-offered in January. Looks like he took multiple visits to Pittsburgh, but was unable to garner an offer from them. Cheatom seems to be athletic, possess great size, and should fit into an edge roll. The majority of his highlights are rushing off the edge unabated, so he can certainly do that. We are currently ranked #82 according in Rivals team rankings for the 2023 class and Rivals only ranks the top 100 classes. New individual player ratings will be released in August. We will see how many players receive bumps.

I updated Williams profile. Even though coach Fess recruited Williams, I am guessing Williams will be a defensive back. He is an explosive athlete and often played in the box as a nickel or safety on defense, so he certainly did not shy away from contact at the high school level. He is a playmaker with the ball in his hands, but is raw as a wide receiver. There are only 3 highlights in his latest film of him throwing the ball as a QB and those passes do not demonstrate any reason why he would land at QB here. However, I have not seen him play live so maybe there is something I am missing? It could be that Williams falls into Fess’ recruiting territory and that is why Fess was the one who made the offer. Regardless where he lands positionally, I like this offer. Williams is a playmaker no matter where he is slotted and sometimes it is just a matter of getting players like that on campus and finding where they fit best.

Wow! Why not just add the whole PAC at that point? Go big or go home I guess.

Dengohe to James Madison, so he’s off the list.

He also has an offer from Temple, but I don’t know how much we should read into that. I don’t know anything about Temple outside of the hiring of a new coaching staff this past offseason. Maybe they feel the kid fits whatever scheme they’ll be running? I think our staff has done a really nice job of identifying and balancing our needs through the portal and prep route.

OL Marleo Neolien was on campus this past weekend, but did not pickup an offer. At least not yet.

Massive OT Jatavius Shivers decommitted from Vanderbilt yesterday. He carries an offer from Akron on 2/11/2022, but is expected to commit to South Carolina.
