This afternoon, I had an excellent conversation with South Carolina Class of 2024 safety target Kelvin Hunter, a blazing-fast athlete that runs a 4.4 40-yard dash hailing from the West Florence Knights, a Palmetto State powerhouse occupying the Pee Dee region of this great state. The first cousin of Gamecocks' star defensive back Cam Smith confirmed with me that he will be in attendance for South Carolina's 7:30 primetime 'bout with the Georgia State Panthers on Saturday, September 3rd.
The student-athlete with six offers said on record last time we spoke that of his six offers from Clemson, Charlotte, Coastal Carolina, Kentucky, South Carolina, and Virginia Tech, he had trimmed down his list to the Chanticleers, Gamecocks, and Hokies. However, he told me this afternoon that his top two has now been trimmed to Coastal Carolina and South Carolina (for now). He looks forward to watching his cousin play and what he feels should be an improved South Carolina squad, and it's certainly possible that he could sign with the Garnet and Black in the near future.
In the meantime, he's balling out with the Knights, who are 2-0 with victories over Lexington and Lake City. Gamecocks' fans, let's give Kelvin Hunter and all of South Carolina's prospective student-athletes a warm welcome as they enter Williams-Brice Stadium in what should (hopefully) be a win for the Gamecocks. Also, I hope you have an excellent Labor Day weekend!
I will have a follow-up conversation with Hunter following his visit to South Carolina to see what may have made the Gamecocks stand out even further in his recruitment after he makes the short, 83-mile trip southwest to the "Capital City" for the weekend.
