Tackle Corey Robinson's team won again, and that's three straight victories for the senior offensive lineman. I'm told he has a good draft strategy when picking his team and does a good job of knowing the criteria. Robinson's team actually trailed until the last day, but he helped push his team through to victory.
Some updates on weights:
Darius English is still at 250. He maintained his weight throughout the summer. He was 17 when he arrived at USC, so he's young for his grade and actually still growing. USC thinks he's still getting taller and that he's going to continue to get bigger as well. The staff is very happy with his progress.
Defensive end Mason Harris is at 240, which is about 22 pounds up from where he was at one point. He gained a good bit in the offseason.
Cedrick Cooper is at 239, which is also a big gain for him (20-25 pounds in the offseason). This guy is almost 240 pounds and runs a sub 4.4-40 yard dash time.
Gamecock junior defensive tackle Deon Green had an excellent summer in the weight room. The strength and conditioning staff is very happy with him. He of course was hampered by injuries his first couple years and has finally sort of gotten back from those knee problems. He's 290 right now and has gained strength. He really turned it on this summer, grew up and USC thinks he could be in position to help this year.
