Freddie Solomon, Stanley Morgan (nuff said), in my student college days…….saw Morgan vs GHS. Our all state defensive back played against Solomon in Shrine Bowl
?Don’t know if we beat them. Ran across one of the player’s mom, a starter on D, on our way into the stadium. She told us that she wasn’t sure how this would go. She went to say that it had gotten out a few had the flu, but she said it was pretty much the defensive side of the ball and a couple of playmakers on the offensive side.I will go Sam Montgomery from Greenwood, who went to LSU, yes we were stacked at Defensive line form 2010 to 2012, but what if we had had another guy like Montgomery, in the mix with Clowney, Quarles and Taylor, that defense would have been even greater. (Montgomery had 9 sacks in 2011 and 8 sacks in 2012 for LSU)
He had 2 sacks and was very disruptive in LSU's win over us in 2012 when we were undefeated and # 3 in the country, so if he played for us, we win that game and have 1 loss in the SEC but maybe we don't fumble a zillion times against Florida if we were still undefeated.
With a 1 loss team we should get in over Georgia who we demolished, to the SEC Championship and maybe we beat Alabama and get the national championship and get to destroy Notre Dame
I was thinking the same thing, so I made the same mistake. If I remember correctly, wouldn't it have been theoretically possible for us to have had Garnett and Jermaine O'Neal at Carolina at the same time had they not both elected to do go the NBA?
Cuda! Preston git ahold of yerself……..a Preston Man has standards. Like showing women to the front lobby
Wondered what kind of reaction Cuda would get! He does serve a decent hot dog down in Summerville.Cuda! Preston git ahold of yerself……..a Preston Man has standards. Like showing women to the front lobby
Solomon did sign with us, of course, & was a “casualty” of the ACC’s “800” SAT rule. Not sure what happened with Stanley Morgan. Shortly after the Shrine Bowl, he signed an instrument being used then that was symbolic & not at all binding…a “Southern Letter of Intent” (with South Carolina). It was the product of a gentlemen’s agreement that coaches in the SEC & ACC generally followed…if a kid committed & signed this “symbolic instrument”, other coaches in the region would back off recruiting them. For the most part, the signing of the (binding) National Letter of Intent in February was simply a formality. Again…not sure what happened to flip Morgan to Tennessee. My recollection is that it wasn’t a national signing day shocker. Morgan had already changed his mind. That was the last I ever heard of the “Southern Letter of Intent”. Not sure if the Morgan instance put it away or if it was already on it’s way out, anyhow.
We never had a chance to sign AJ Green. He had made up his mind to go to UGA by the time he was in 8th grade.
I’m bad, sometimes they walked down the hallway out the end wings……I was wasted I tell ya, wasted! Not a bit of strength left in Sampson.Wondered what kind of reaction Cuda would get! He does serve a decent hot dog down in Summerville.
Thought all your women's went out the back door
That would be my choice. What grates is both signed with us in the early December signing period. Heard Dietzel announce on tv that both were ours in their respective years. Solomon did not qualify and ucheat came in late and took Morgan away. That stung especially when Morgan turned out to be such a great one.
Why you dragging all this back up in detail?……you like pulling scabs off wounds
This is a very specific time machineIf I could go back in time. Of all the things to do, talking to some HS recurit will never make the list.
This is truly the answer if "football" wasn't in the thread title.
Amazing that it took 26 posts to produce the unbeatable answer. Steve Davis from Spartanburg IS the answer.
Green was my initial thought as well. Perhaps he's a difference maker in that 2010 season with Jeffery and turns a couple of those losses into wins.
True. I'd probably go back to the early 80s and buy some stock in that "fruit company."If I could go back in time. Of all the things to do, talking to some HS recurit will never make the list.
Say hi to Richard Bell for me
And, to be honest, if I had a time machine, there are plenty of even better options than AAPL to go back and buy, but I don't want to seem greedy.
Respectfully disagree but you did indicate you never saw Solomon play. Had you seen him play, you'd understand Solomon is the answer for us old guys.
