South Carolina head coach Shane Beamer will once again be on the road today as he will make several in-state stops including one at the high school of a major in-state prospect.

Beamer, offensive coordinator Marcus Satterfield, defensive coordinator Clayton White and defensive line coach Jimmy Lindsey are all scheduled to be at Oceanside today where they'll check in on class of 2023 four-star OL Monroe Freeling. Freeling, of course, has offers from all over including Carolina. Oceanside is also home to 2024 ATH Zai Offord, the son of former Gamecock Andre Offord, 2023 RB Vaughn Blue and kickers Spencer McKinley and Coleman Franzone, among others.

Beamer, Satt, White and Lindsey are also set to check in on Philip Simmons High, home to an intriguing underclassman prospect in 2023 wide receiver/defensive back Troy Stevenson, who has early offers from LSU, Ole Miss and Penn State. He's definitely one to keep an eye on there.

The group is also set to hit Wando HS before dropping in on defensive tackle commit Demetrius Watson for an in-school visit.

Beamer and White will finish the day watching linebacker commit Nick Emmanwori play basketball.

** After an in-home visit with wide receiver commit Landon Samson last night, wide receivers coach Justin Stepp will fly to south Florida to check in on several schools.

One of the main stops will be for an in-home visit with Fort Lauderdale (Fla.) St. Thomas Aquinas 2022 three-star WR Camden Brown, who is committed to Pitt but landed an offer from the Gamecocks during the season.

St. Thomas is absolutely loaded with talent, including 2024 four-star WR Chance Robinson (SC offer), 2024 four-star WR James Madison (SC offer), 2024 four-star WR Earl Kulp (SC offer), 2023 three-star DB King Mack (SC offer), 2023 three-star DE Zakaih Saez, 2023 three-star WR Isaiah Hardge (SC offer), 2023 three-star OL Ryan Mickow, 2023 three-star DT Jason Hammond, and 2023 three-star RB Gemari Sands.

Stepp is also set to check in on American Heritage, home to the state of Florida's best prospect and the current No. 1 wide receiver in the 2023 class, Brandon Inniss. The 6-foot, 189-pound Inniss has an offer from the Gamecocks and about 30+ other schools.

Heritage is also loaded with other talent including 2023 four-star WR Santana Fleming (SC offer), 2023 four-star RB Mark Fletcher (SC offer), 2023 four-star DB Damari Brown, and 2023 four-star DB Daemon Fagan, among others.

Chaminade-Madonna is also on the list of stops and there you'll find a host of top prospects including 2024 four-star ATH Zaquan Patterson, four-star WR Jeremiah Smith, four-star RB Davion Gause and 2025 DB Chris Ewald, all of which have offers from Carolina.

** Running backs coach Montario Hardesty is set to hit his Virginia territory today where he'll check in on a ton of schools.

One of those stops will be at Oscar Smith, where the Gamecocks have offered class of 2024 four-star DB Asaad Brown.

Maury HS is home to class of 2024 ATH Da'Vontae Floyd, who is not yet ranked but does hold an early offer from the Gamecocks.

Green Run HS, some will remember as the home of former Gamecock commit George Wilson, has a 2024 four-star WR in Keylen Adams.

Hardesty is also scheduled to check in on Western Branch, Indian River and Ocean Lake high schools.

On Wednesday, Hardesty is scheduled to conduct an in-home visit with four-star running back and Virginia Tech commit Ramon Brown.

I overlooked this for out report yesterday on visits, but one of Hardesty's stops in Georgia was to check up on class of 2023 RB Benjamin Hall, who the Gamecocks offered following a visit earlier this month.

** After spending Monday in the Midlands where he extended a PWO offer to Ridge View 2022 OL Tray Frankin, tight ends coach Erik Kimrey will hit schools in Georgia.

As Chris Clark reported on Monday, one of those stops will be at Oconee County to see class of 2022 four-star TE Jake Johnson, the top tight end prospect in his class. Johnson is an LSU commit, and the brother of LSU QB Max Johnson, but there's been renewed interest in looking around from the younger Johnson following Ed Orgeron's firing and he liked Shane Beamer from when the Carolina head coach was recruiting him at Oklahoma. No word yet on what Johnson thinks of the Brian Kelly hire but stay tuned here.

Kimrey is also set to stop in on Jefferson High, which is where class of 2024 four-star LB Sammy Brown attends school. Brown is one of the top players in his class and had a great time on his visit to Columbia for the Clemson game on Saturday.

** After hitting his SC territories yesterday, Mike Peterson has one (very important) job today: meet with 2022 four-star EDGE target Jaishawn Barham.

Mike P will then be in Florida hitting his territories down there on Wednesday.

** South Carolina defensive backs coach Torrian Gray is set to hit the Sunshine State today with a priority of conducting an in-home visit with four-star DB commit Anthony Rose. Gray will also take in Rose's practice at Miami Central.

Gray is also scheduled to check in on Miami Edison, Miami Northwestern, and Booker T. Washington, home to 2023 four-star WR offeree Adam Moore.

** Special teams coordinator Pete Lembo will hit his Pennsylvania territory today including conducting an in-home visit with four-star DB commit Keenan Nelson Jr.

In addition to the stop at Imhotep Charter, where the Gamecocks have an offer out to 2023 four-star DB Rahmir Stewart, Lembo is set to stop by Roman Catholic, Northeast and Neumann Goretti high schools.

The Gamecocks have an offer out to Roman Catholic 2024 four-star WR Tyseer Denmark.
