Even in the midst of the hustle and bustle that was SEC Media Days, the South Carolina Gamecocks picked up their sixth commitment from the high school class of 2016 today.
And this one may not have been much of a surprise: Harrisburg (N.C.) Hickory Ridge offensive lineman Will Putnam gave his word to the program a day after spending four hours at USC yesterday.

Charlotte, Elon and Virginia Tech were the other three offers for Putnam, but the Hokies and Gamecocks were the favorites.
