Gamecocks talking daily with Georgia receiver
South Carolina has been out front for wide receiver Josh Vann of Tucker, Ga., going on two months and the Gamecocks continue to hold the advantage over a field that includes Oklahoma, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Michigan, Michigan State and Tennessee. Vann said he hears regularly from the Gamecocks with receivers coach Bryan McClendon leading the conversations.
"With him, it's like a daily talk with somebody, like hey, how ya doing, or what ya eating, or most times, he asks me when I'll be back up there," said Vann who plans to return to USC later this spring or in the summer. "At this point, it's a good relationship. I could really see myself up there at South Carolina."
USC and Georgia have been Vann's only visits so far. Those are his top two with Tennessee also up there.
"Probably South Carolina," Vann said about his favorite. "I can really feel myself comfortable at this point."
Vann said he wants to make his decision before the season but he does want to visit more schools. Notre Dame, Tennessee, North Carolina and Clemson are some of the schools that been by his school this spring. He's expecting McClendon to visit this week.
