Crazier By The Day
Posted May 4, 2006 by Aaron Knox

So far the recruiting process is crazy. It gets crazier by the day. I’m getting anywhere from 20 to 30 letters a day and about 15 at school. A total of about 50 a day. I get calls from recruiting websites all hours of the day. Rivals, Scout.com, Gamecocks Central. It’s ridiculous. They want to know how the process is going, the offer situation, what camps am I attending and what unofficial visits I have taken. I am going to the NIKE camp in Gainesville and how the visits have went.
So far I have taken unofficial visits to the University of South Florida, University of Florida, University of South Carolina, Ole Miss and Alabama. USF was the hometown school and I want to make sure I wasn’t missing out on anything. It was pretty good, I enjoyed it and they are in need of a quarterback. I’ve been to Florida about seven or eight times and every time I’ve been there it’s been great. The coaches are a little crazy, but I like them. They know how to recruit. USC was one of the better trips I’ve taken. The only negative thing was it wasn’t a direct flight. Go up to Charlotte and down to Columbia. Other than that, they are an up and coming program and I like them. Actually, two of their recruits (Quinton Richardson – offensive lineman and Gary Gray - cornerback) are going to be coming down in a few weeks and staying with me. Ole Miss was awesome, too. Alabama was awesome. The tradition they have is great. They are renovating their stadium. The tradition just blew me away. Coach Shula is cool and a smart guy. Laid back, but real serious.
Florida, South Carolina, Ole Miss and Alabama are my favorites right now. Anything can happen. I’m still up in the air right now. My main focus is our spring jamboree on May 18. We play Plant. I can’t wait to play to them, I’ve been wanting revenge since last year’s game.
I don’t know what camps I’m going to this summer. I’m hoping to get invited to the Elite 11 Camp, but first will be the Nike Camp.
Right now, I’m looking forward to this season, and help get attention to some of the other players we got on our team that have the opportunity to play D-1 football. We have a very good team this year, and I like our chances at running the table.

Hi, Im Ron Burgandy. I think this site is a very crucial part to Stephen’s recruiting and collegiate life. This is not bush-league! Baxter? Bark twice if you’re in Milwaukee! Ok. Nevermind that! But Stephen, when you read this, just know that I’m very excited about you and your interest in Wisconsin…we need a high profile Quarterback! Keep investigating!

Great read and I wish you the best of luck this season and in the scrimage. Stay healthy and know that we lok forward to having you lead us to the SEC championship in Garnett and Black. Either way good luck and God’s Speed

Good luck with your upcoming season. Looks like you are just what gamecock fans and Steve Spurrier are looking for in a quarterback. No better fans in America!!! Spurrier is building something great at South Carolina.

It would be great to see Stephen play in front of sell out crowds in Columbia before he goes to the NFL.

C’mon up, Stephen. We’re ready to rock the Willy B with you at the helm.

Don’t get caught up in all this bs. Have fun your senior year, and pick a place that you like. Stress free is the way to be…
ps. South Carolina is chill.

I see that you are getting a visit from current and hopefully future members of the “Super Friends”. Show them a good time while their down there, but not too much of a good time. We are going to need them when we start winning Championships! It would be great to have you along for the ride! Go Cocks!

Stephen,
Suggest removalIt was great seeing you at the Spring game. It looked like you were having a good time. Just wait to see Williams Brice in the Fall.
Good luck in school and in the recruiting process.
Stay safe and take care.

Best of luck in your upcoming season, Stephen. It was great to see you enjoying yourself in the monsoon at the South Carolina spring game. Hope to see you gun-slinging in the Garnet and Black.
Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts and insights into the recruiting process. It’s a big honor, but few of us can imagine just how crazy it can be.

Stephen,
As a Floridian, I can’t wait to see a Florida native standing in the dome in Atlanta with an SEC championship trophy in his hands with a Garnet and Black Gamecock uniform on….the first ever man….you will have the chance to be part of something you’ll remember the rest of your life…Steve Spurrier is the man and he’s going to prove it at THE USC…..Good look this year…Hope you guys don’t play the Pace Patriots….
Suggest removalPor (Wayne) on May 05, 2006 (Suggest removal)
You’ve got a very good perspective on things and I wish you the best of luck this year and in the future. I hope to see Spurrier yelling ballplays in your earhole in the very near future.
