Gamecocks football recruiting: A preview of today's Gamecock Cookout and pool bash

So Steve Spurrier and the South Carolina Gamecocks' football staff is doing a little grilling out and hanging out around the pool today. Well, it's a little more than that.

USC's never done this before. It's a chance for them to relax with their top recruits, show them what's new and different on campus and make their pitch. When it's all said and done, they'll hope that they and the campus itself have made a good enough impression that some undecided kids will either commit on the spot (as a few will do, we're sure), leave convinced that their earlier pledge to the program was the right choice, or at least leave with the Gamecocks as a favorite.
