Captain Kangaroo Posted January 6, 2023 Report Share Posted January 6, 2023 9 career games at SC. Zero career tackles. Often injured. Hope for the best with him, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope for the best with him, I guess. Part of it was injury and part of it was the players ahead of him. Cam Smith and Darius Rush will be drafted and received the majority of minutes at Nickel and BCB respectively. Marcellas Dial collected almost all the snaps at FCB. As the year went on, freshmen DQ Smith and (freshman all-american) Nick Emmanwori took the rest of the snaps at Nickel/FS and SS. O’Donnell Fortune was the top backup at both CB spots. Several other freshmen also leapfrogged Hunter on the depth chart so there wasn’t any room for him. The talent level in the DB room at South Carolina matches any in the country at this point. All that being said, if Hunter can stay healthy he could really help us. Travaris Robinson recruited Hunter to SC and his record for finding CBs with upside and eventually placing them in the NFL speaks for itself. Let’s hope coach Bell can tap into what Hunter brings to the table. A healthy tandem of Hunter and Golden-Nelson could make our secondary look drastically different next year. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but over an entire season zero tackles over nine games extrapolates out to... never mind. .Could tighten the competition for the Ryan Bain Award next season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let'sGoZips94 Posted January 6, 2023 Report Share Posted January 6, 2023 Massive get. Don't really care about injuries or a lack of production at SC. The Transfer Portal is there to give guys a chance to find the right place to produce & succeed. The guy was talented enough out of high school to have JoeMo's attention at Miss St. If JoeMo thinks he's still talented enough to fill a void in a porous Zips secondary, my qualms are minimal at worst. In JoeMo I trust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LZIp Posted January 7, 2023 Report Share Posted January 7, 2023 When does spring semester start? Figure you want to get all the guys here for spring ball that you can, though probably not an end all be all. George didn’t join til summer last year and I don’t think Holt and Thompson were either. Probably a few other contributors I’m missing too. regardless, you’d hope/expect a few other commitments this weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like every team has at least a few players hit the portal after spring ball. Especially when some of the incoming players leapfrog veterans on the depth chart. Not going to mention any names but there are still at least 1 or 2 guys I could see hitting the portal at each position. In particular DB, DL, and OL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the update. If the article that I posted in the Portal Offers Topic on 12/30/22 is correct, then I am curious on why Hunter is not signed. The article stated that the TP players can sign anytime. Is there any non-speculation comments to explain this situation? If this guy is good (as per catdaddyp), then let's get him signed. Looks like he is keeping other options open. Go Zips!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Jester. 3 star at Rivals, but is listed as a WR. He played S his senior year and even though he could play both sides of the ball, he is probably a better fit on defense.
