Huge pickup for us. Now that he has committed, I can share a few details regarding his recruitment.
First, I work with his father here in the metro Atlanta area. He has kept me updated on his son’s recruitment. Beamer made the “Welcome Home” announcement on Wednesday. The next day, he comes up to me and says “He committed.” So I asked if he’s a Gamecock and he confirmed. So I was really excited and pumped up. I’ve known this Thursday since that this was one of the “Welcome Home” announcements Beamer was referring to but I couldn’t say anything out of respect to Floyd and his family. A few quick things:
—Throughout the recruitment, his dad told me that USC showed the most love and that he really vibed with Beamer because of how genuine and sincere he is. But as much as he liked Beamer, he had to let his son make his own decision.
—He also told me that on Wednesday, Torrian Gray called him and said his son is ready to commit to us. His dad asked if he wanted to think it over through the weekend before committing but Emory was ready to make his decision. Apparently it was the environment and that he felt at home at USC that sold Emory.
—Emory also plans on running track.
Guys, I believe we got ourselves a good one. From what I see in tape, he’s very fast, physical and has great cover skills.
