Well it looks like the gamecocks are going to steal another one of our commits. He has declared the gamecocks are number one and if they offer he is probably gone. He will also take a visit to miss st. He is visiting GT this weekend. I really hate South Carolina.

I must have missed where he declared USC number one...where did you see that?
I know that both SC and UGA are all over him right now. At the same time, Giff Smith is staying on him and Giff rarely loses.
 
Haven't heard this...do you have a link?

Unfortunate if true...I get tired of Tech being a placeholder...

Could be true, but you need to consider the source. Gamecock fans are among the most delusional. OTOH, if Crenshaw wants to go to a program that has no hope of ever winning a division and going to a BCS bowl, then more power to him. Spurrier will not be there when he graduates, they are headed to yet another 6-7 win season. If he wants to play on an up and coming team in a wide open BCS conference, with a great shot at the BCS in his tenure, then GA Tech is the place he should go. It's his choice.
 
I believe that's also the same site that said Donley was going to usc.

Right now, he's probably thinking the same thing about us. We're on our way to a 6-8 win season. We haven't won a conference championship in a long time. When was the last BCS bowl we went to? This quote rings true: "winning solves everything." Recruits won't come flocking until we put more W's on the schedule. That said, we've got a decent class so far.

well...if W's were the answer for this recruit he would not be looking at South Carolina.

I do not disagree with the W argument overall though.
 
If he wants to go to SC, good luck to him. Its his life.

Correct. Kornblut didn't condition it at all--he said that Donley was transferring to USC. Kornblut is all about speculation and rumor, which he proceeds to state as fact.

One more example of the media never letting the facts get in the way of a good story.

I did hear from a reliable source that UGa is all over Crenshaw. The concern is that Crenshaw is still looking around--which he is entitled to do.

But we were in an ACCCG just 2 years ago, and have been to 10 straight bowls. That is FAR more than USCe has accomplished and speaks to a stability in our program that is absent in USCs (and always has been). Further, USCe plays in the toughest division in college football, and for them to even sniff at a SECCG they have to beat AT LEAST two of UGAG, UF and UT in the same year - most years all three.

If it could have been done, it would have been done by either Holtz or Spurrier. And bear in mind that we're simply talking about winning their division.

To draw equivalence between our situation and recent history to USCe's is not even possible, IMO. But you are free to hold your opinion of course.
 
I guess the big schools are seeing what we saw in him a while ago, then? 6-2, 238 DE...pack on 15 pounds and he'd be money...seems to be our M.O. as of late.
 
USCe has never done ANYTHING- in football, ACC or SEC..we will always have more championships in BOTH of those leagues..sick of them..

Wait a minute. If winning solves everything SC should never get a recruit from anywhere. Just to clarify...

In their history USC is 532=534-44. Spurrier is 21-16 and they have exactly ONE championship in school history, the 1969 ACC title. That's ONE championship THIRTY NINE years ago. To think, we laugh at Duke. As to bowls, their all time record is 4-9 and the best bowl they've ever been to is probably the Gator, in the 80s. The only thing USC has going for is it is that it's an easy school and they have a rabid fan base. Otherwise they have one of the worst football histories in the South.

We lost 9-6 in an ACCCG no one wants to remember. Many outsiders could care less about our bowl streak. USC has been "held down" because they play in the "toughest conference in America." PLus they are coached by the GREAT Spurrier.

Now, before you start flaming, this isn't my view or opinion. I agree with you in that GT would be a much better experience than USC. That being said, I don't think most outsiders feel the same way. The evidence is in the recruits he's stealing from us (assuming Crenshaw does indeed leave).

I was under the impression that UGA only had about 15 scholarships available this season. What is the story on that? Are they almost full?
