It has been well known for quite a while here in the upstate that Lattimore would be one of the top recruits in the US, let alone SC. According to this list Brandon Willis is the highest ranked DE in SC, then Corey Miller. All 3 of these guys, Lattimore, Willis and Miller, are from Byrnes High. I need to drive over there and start kicking TNs name around.
Byrnes puts out great players every year. If there was a factory in SC, it is Byrnes.
Didnt Willy Korn go there?
the reality is this is not John Chavis anymore, so you don't know what he would be until we figure out what kind of defense we are going to have. 6'2 230 could be SLB or MLB. He is similar in size to Donald, and that would be fun in 2 years...Donald, Askew, Smith
By the way if Coach Kiffin did not make you believe he is bringing Tennessee back to prominence, we just extended Scholarship offers to number one overall QB and top 3 QB.
Yep, Willy Korn, as well as several other Byrnes players, went to Clemson, Prince Miller at GA, Everett Dawkins at FSU (2009 prospect Justin Bright also committed to FSU), Cartier Rice at KY, Trey Bailey at Wake. A couple of other kids are currently at Appy State.
Upstate SC football is very good. Byrnes was #1 in the USA Today Super 25 for half of this season (beating teams from FL and GA), until Dorman (another Super 25 team that's 10 minutes down the road from Byrnes) beat them. Byrnes got revenge in the playoffs and went on to win state. Gaffney is another super power around here but they had a down year.
I hope he owned you too (and he probably did if you played on the line or QB or RB... or even on the D-line or LB when he demolished people blocking at TE) - so you can tell your kids that a former Tennessee Vol "pain"caked you in high school.
Only thing I would be worried about if we do get him, is that he's a Mormon and going on a mission after his freshman year.
