South Carolina football recruiting: Could Marlon Character flip due to Gamecocks' struggles?

It's been a less than optimal year for the South Carolina Gamecocks on the field, and there is a chance that it could cost them one of their top recruits. Marlon Character, a four-star defensive back from Atlanta (Ga.) Grady that committed a few months back, is reportedly "concerned" with the team's direction right now and might possibly be reconsidering his decision. Part of it is the team's situation at defensive coordinator.

Before I committed, I didn't really know (Jon Hoke) was the defensive coordinator. I knew he was the co-defensive coordinator, but I didn't know he was the defensive coordinator officially, now, and the defensive backs coach.
