The South Carolina Gamecocks are kicking off their home slate today, and several recruits that they've had their eye on will be present.
--At the top of the list is big-time North Charleston (S.C.) Fort Dorchester OL John Simpson. Simpson, ranked as the #17 guard in the state of South Carolina in the class of 2016, looks to have Clemson at the top of his list right now and is scheduled to make a decision on or around January 9 at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl. The Gamecocks would love to add Simpson to an O-line that will feature Akeem Cooperwood, Lloyd Cushenberry and Will Putnam next year.
