  • Ah...Columbia in July! One of the hottest and most humid places you can be that time of year. Maybe he will realize that he doesn`t want to go through 2 adays in that weather. :)

  • Sounds like a good kid where ever he goes that team will get a great prospect. I doubt he is tried at TE unless he is just amazing with Buster, Owens, Rainey, Adams I might be forgetting someone but they are all legit TE so IMO (which don't mean nothing) he will be LB cause that is what we need and he will have the chance to play early there. Go Gamecocks

    Not much of an option anymore huh?

  • I think Matt knows that there is nothing like playing in the SEC. Since Spurrier's arrival, USC has definitely become a force in that amazing conference.

    2011 5 LB's signed
    2012 2 LB's signed
    2013 3 LB's committed

    Not the best looking depth chart. Although they were almost all 3* kids so it looks crowded but not necessarily over talented.

    all of our projected 2 deep linebackers are graduating this year expect 1 (cedric cooper). we are in need of linebackers very badly. hopefully he listens to grandpa and comes to columbia.

    In fact, there is currently only two scholly underclassman LBs on the team. There are two commits at this time: a two star & a three star. Rolin would get an immediate chance at LB, which is where Carolina wants & needs him at the most.

    Gets to play against top notch competition. No worry about frostbite.

  • Either school would be a great choice. Too many connections with SC and I personally think he will end up in Cola. Why dont we get a thread going to have SC and VT play in ATL to open up the football season. So much better than UT and NCST. Just a fun thought.

    This is a great idea. Would love to see it. Two good schools, two great head coaches.

  • If his brother wasn't at VT I don't think we are in the picture at all. I suppose this could come down to where his parents live and where they want to travel for 4-5 years, and if they want to be split up for games.

    Granted,the SEC is the top conference in the country.But,what is the advantage of playing in that conference? A better chance to go to the NFL? Nope. VT and the ACC puts plenty of players there. A better chance at winning a MNC? Maybe if you are at Bama,LSU,or Auburn. USC is ,and will continue to be, a mid level SEC school with occasional spurts. VT may never win a MNC,but the odds are more in their favor with less competition in conference and marque games in the next few years against Alabama,Ohio State,and Wisconsin. How about education? The latest US News Report ranks VT 71 and USC 111. I speak from personal experience about USC`s academic reputation. My daughter was a highly recruited volleyball player several years ago.USC was on her early and she really liked the coaches. She was leaning towards them early in the recruiting process.As we did more analysis,it became clear that USC did not compare academically with other schools recruiting her.Now,Rolin may not be concerned about that.But,speaking as a parent,it was a factor with me.An athlete is just one injury away from being a regular student.

    USC has the #1 "international" ranking. That is a subset of the overall business schools rankings. That may be an asset if you want to work oversees.However,all business schools now incorporate international business into their training.
