RB commit CJ Freeman not shutting down process any time soon

Running back CJ Freeman of Greensboro committed to South Carolina in late March, but it won’t be until late this year before the Gamecocks know if they have him for certain.

Freeman attended Virginia Tech’s spring game last weekend. The Hokies were second on his list when he committed to the Gamecocks, and they, and others, are still on his mind.

“I’m solid right now with my commitment but I’m going to take a few unofficial visits to other schools that have offered,” Freeman said. “Virginia Tech was my number one school before South Carolina. I definitely enjoyed the spring game. They have a new person on their staff named Kevin Jones. He played there and in the league. He was one of the main ones talking to me. He told me he wanted me and that I can be a true running back there. I may take another visit to Virginia Tech. I’m still solid with my commitment. The visit was good, and I may take another visit, but right now it didn’t make me reconsider.”

The Gamecocks are doing all they can do to make sure Freeman doesn’t slip away. He said he hears from them practically every day.

“Me and Coach Sands have a real good relationship,” Freeman said. “I’m going to visit there this summer, maybe for the Showcase Camp.”

Freeman is also looking at visiting Auburn, West Virginia, Washington State and Georgia Southern. He said he plans to take all five of his official visits, and two will be USC and Virginia Tech. Freeman plans to graduate in December and enroll in college in January.
