South Carolina's 2015 class is rolling along quite nicely; this is really an unprecedented start for the staff in terms of getting big-time talent in the boat early in the process. Of course, it came be done either way and the important part is having guys sign up in February, but it never hurts to have guys committed early.

Every single one of USC's 2015 commitments projects to debut as a four-star prospect on Rivals.com next month with the exception of Shameik Blackshear who could be a five-star prospect.

Pittman had an offer list from a who's who of college football programs and South Carolina has always been a program he's had an eye on but the difference was made last month. Pittman visited USC for summer camp and worked with Kirk Botkin and First Coast alum Shaq Wilson who is of course now a graduate assistant for linebackers. Wilson is highly thought of by everyone at First Coast whether former or current players and his success at USC really helped the Gamecocks' cause here.

Steve Spurrier Jr. recruits the Jacksonville area hard every year and was the lead recruiter for Pittman.

Pittman is a physical, in-the-box type of linebacker who could probably play either inside spot in USC's scheme. I have not heard which position he will start at, but to me he looks more like a MIKE LB.
