The top 3 players in South Carolina are committed to USC. What it took to get there

South Carolina football coach Will Mushamp has said time and again, he doesn’t look at recruiting rankings.

On the in-state front, those rankings seem to look good to everyone else.

With Westwood defensive back Cam Smith pledging on Friday night, the Gamecocks have commitments from the top three players in the state in the 2019 class. He joins Northwestern wide receiver Jamario Holley and five-star T.L. Hanna defensive end Zacch Pickens.

The team has done some work to reach that point heading into Year 3 with the current staff.
