Well, they didn't recruit Devan Downey his freshman year, but he transfered and played here from '07 to '09.
They can’t say he wasn’t a top 50 player. He was first team All-SEC.
stuff 'bout stuff.

True
Downey was a beast, but if his Cincinnati experience was a little better he may not have ever made it to South Carolina.

We've had a few right outside the top 50, but yeah, we've had a major dearth of talent over the past few years.
Which does a lot to explain how crappy we’ve played outside of the random good season here and there.
I wonder why we have so much trouble? Nice arena, good local talent, etc. We don’t have a very good history since the early 70s, but that’s never stopped the football team from recruiting well.

D. Harris and B. Ellington were both top 100 talents coming out, and D. Leonard is, as well.
