Some mentioned in another thread that 5* men don't come here so I did a recall of USC Recruiting history since 2002.
Year Ranking (# of 5*) (# of 4*) (# of 3*)
2002 #11 3* 6 16 (*Ricardo Hurley, Randy Jackson, Darel Slay)
2003 #8 1* 3 18 (*Demetris Summers)
2004 #35[worst] 0 3 11
2005 #23 0 6 15
2006 #24 0 6 14
2007 #6[best] 1* 14 13 (*Chris Culliver)
2008 #22 0 6 14
2009 #12 0 14 11
2010 #24 1* 5 11 (*Marcus Lattimore)
2011 #18 1* 6 25 (*Jadeveon Clowney)
2012 #19 0 8 15
2013 #16 0 8 13
2014 #16 0 10 11
2015 #19 0 11 17
2016 #26 0 7 14
2017 #16 0 7 17
2018 #18 0 8 13
2019 ? 1* 6 8

(~I tried to format this table for easier reading but it didn't work)
Plenty things to debate, discuss and comment here. One thing I have noticed is that all 20-30 TOP 5* guys year in and year out get offers from Alabama, Clemson and Georgia. While South Carolina does NOT offer every single 5* guy.
My take away here is to stock pile 4* guys (at least double digits 10-15 year in and year out).
It also sickens me that we have had a total of 8 5* men since 2002 and Georgia got 8 5* guys in last years class alone. :-( Georgia seems to be continue to build and become the new 'bama of the east while we are stilling at #2.
Would sure love to pull more men our way since we missed out on Steele, Walker and McClendon.
Continue to support and give to our mighty Gamecocks.
