Let's be honest, Butch isn't some marvelous recruiter. It's Tennesssee, who can't recruit for that school? I'm fine with them keeping him as we slowly build back up.

Not known as the easiest place to pull high end recruits. Tennessee is limited in national level talent and their glory days are before most of these guys are born. Butch is a good recruiter, bad developer.

If I was him I would be all over South Carolina asking to come here. Look how they have developed Brunson! Brad Johnson is going to be a good one too, he's still a little raw but he was quick and disrupted some plays against A&M

Hopefully Ray isn't afraid to open up the check book and keep this team intact for a couple more years.

All Ray can do is give them enough money to keep other teams from hiring them away as coordinators, nothing you can do when it comes to a HC hire.

LB Dax Hollifield of Shelby, NC made his second official visit last weekend to USC for the Arkansas game. In a video interview with Rivals, Hollifield said a lot of things stood out to him on the visit. “I really enjoyed it. They won pretty big. Their defense is playing really well right now. I really like how Coach Muschamp, Coach TRob (Travis Robinson) and Coach Hutzler are making this defense. They are the real leader of team. They’re the reason they win games. I like how they are doing that. Jake Bentley and the offense are coming around. As the year is going on they are getting better.” Hollifield also has been to Florida State officially and will take his third official this weekend to North Carolina. He also will take official visits to Virginia Tech and Stanford.

Four-star linebacker Dax Hollifield has taken more than his fair share of South Carolina recruiting trips, but none were quite the same as last weekend’s official visit.

The time in Columbia afford the Gamecocks a chance to shine in several areas that are important to the No. 5 inside linebacker in the Class of 2018, according to the 247Sports composite.

Though Hollifield enjoys close relationships with several coaches on the South Carolina staff, he hadn’t really spent much time with the current players, other than freshman linebacker Sherrod Greene, who also served as his player-host.
Sophomore quarterback Jake Bentley was among the players Hollifield met.
“They work hard. … They were talking about during camp, each year during fall camp, they get up at like 5 o’clock in the morning and won’t go home until 8 o’clock at night,” Hollifield said. “I really like that. I like a team that’s going to work hard and knows they’re going to get better, stuff like that.”
The 6-foot-2, 225-pound prospect likes that the Gamecocks practice during the morning while in season.
“I’d rather practice in the morning, to be honest with you, get it out of the way and have the night off,” he said. “I like that a lot. That’s positive for me.”
Another positive: South Carolina’s 4-2 start this season, particularly the 48-22 win over Arkansas. It was the second time he’d been to Williams-Brice this season for a game.

“I was happy with it,” Hollifield said. “The two games they’ve lost they were close games. I think a couple of balls have rolled the wrong way for them, especially them missing like four field goals against Kentucky. It really killed them. I didn’t really watch the Texas A&M game, but I heard it went down to the wire.
“I’m happy for them to have some success like that. They really played well [against Arkansas]. On offense, I was really happy with it as well, because they didn’t have Deebo Samuel. Without him, that’s probably the No. 1 target for Jake Bentley — for him to play like that without him out there, they played really well, I thought.”
The message from Muschamp remains the same. Come in and compete for a chance to play early, because there’s not much depth at linebacker.
“They need me,” Hollifield said. “I really got to see their depth better. In their walk-thru, I really got to see how it was. I mean, Sherrod Greene started, so I know I can come in – Skai Moore’s leaving, so I know I can come in and play off the bat, so that’s positive.”
North Carolina will host Hollifield for an official visit this weekend. The following weekend, he’ll return to Blacksburg for his official to Virginia Tech. Stanford’s is scheduled for January. Florida State hosted him earlier this season.
“They’re fun. … I really don’t understand why anybody would not take all five official visits,” Hollifield said. “They’re awesome. I’ve had the time of my life on the two I went to.”

I have to agree with Dax on this...

“They’re fun. … I really don’t understand why anybody would not take all five official visits,” Hollifield said. “They’re awesome. I’ve had the time of my life on the two I went to.”

I don't get why these kids are passing up on all expenses paid trips. (I guess everything is paid for??)

I don’t get this. You post vague but interesting info on players without giving a source but routinely ask for sources when others post info. Not trying to call you out because you do give good info in many cases but when you post information about a player that goes against what many others have heard and referenced it would be nice to see where you got the info from. Maybe you are your own source and that’s great but maybe let us know one way or another.

Again, not trying to call you out because you do give good info and have excellent posts.

So out of that whole article were all positives but this guy says, “not looking good for Dax anymore”.........

Sounds like a free post counter

TBS said there was a report about some comments from one of his coaches that said Dax was more likely to pick Stanford or VaTech. There was also an analyst report that basically said the same thing.

I can make an argument now that BAW is coming back next year, along with Brunson plus Greene and Thompson, he may not get early PT at Carolina next year.

It appears USC has dropped out of the running for former LSU cornerback Saivion Smith of Gulf Coast Mississippi JC. He told the Biloxi Sun-Herald after his game Thursday night he’s planning official visits to Alabama, Mississippi State and Auburn.

I am not going to be "that guy" - the one that says we don't really want him anyway -but I suspect that we may have already moved on, knowing that he was a long shot and we had more likely options. Like Mukuamu and Horn.

I feel good about Mukuamu, and it helps that he committed to a school that is 1-3 right now (FSU). Horn is in a similar situation - he remains committed to UT but they are 3-2, lost their last game at home 41-0 and are nearing official dumpster fire certification. Which means they have a lame duck coach.

Time to pour more gas on the fire Saturday. I hope our guys can pull it off!

We're still pursuing at this point and will until we either fill up or he tells us we have 0 chance and cuts off communication.

Just because BAW will be back doesn't mean he has no hope of getting into the rotation and playing a good bit every game.
