David Reaves is a Douchebag.

As a general rule, I try to avoid the whole name calling thing.

That being said: David Reaves is a Douchebag. 

I can understand that he gave Jarvis Giles a call.  Giles used to be committed to Tenn. before the Doughnut King resigned and it makes sense to see if the kid is still interested now that they have a new head coach and a direction.

For Reaves to try and turn not just the open recruits that he was recruiting for South Carolina, but to actively persue the committed players in this class is douchbaggery of the highest caliber.  So far, it hasn't really worked out for him.  Not only are our committed players staying, but it looks like Giles may end up at South Carolina anyway.

I have to give props to Chris Payne (our first commit in this class, by the way) for sticking to his guns and having nothing to do with Reaves now that he's gone. 

On another note, I am kind of glad that Reaves is gone.  He was a good recruiting coordinator for us. But he was an awful QBs coach. Our QBs have not been getting quality coaching, or Smelly would be a lot better than he is in his 3rd year.  The Gamecock QB situation needed a bigger shakeup than just Garcia getting some meaningful practice time. Hopefully this will help. Currently it looks like Spurrier is going to get more involved in the development side of the QB situation. That can only be a good thing in my opinion.
