UPDATE: So Pat Martin went from having two finalists and being ready to commit to being back up to five contenders? That's what he tells Josh Low of TheBigSpur.com. Martin says that Tennessee still leads, but that South Carolina, LSU and North Carolina (which has not offered) remain in the running. He adds that he still hopes to announce before the season, but even if he did he would still take officials to Tennessee, South Carolina, LSU and UCLA ... plus North Carolina, we assume.
Martin still has plans to camp at Tennessee and South Carolina. He said that one of the things that is hurting the Gamecocks is that he hasn't meant Steve Spurrier yet. Umm, that's pretty easily rectified, we imagine.
