South Carolina’s message to top back: Build a legacy in Columbia

South Carolina is working a select group of highly touted running backs for the 2020 class and one the Gamecocks have a legitimate shot with is Tank Bigsby of Hoganville, Ga. He was in for a game last season and returned Saturday for the junior day where he go to experience the new at USC, such as the running backs coach and operations building.

“Pretty much the same thing, atmosphere, the new facility looked good,” Bigsby said. “It’s nice. It really opened up South Carolina. There’s a lot of people talking about that. I met the new coach (Thomas Brown). He was telling me I could start my own legacy there, a lot of things like that. He’s a good coach.”

Bigsby also met with Will Muschamp and got a similar message.

“I talked to him and Coach-B was in the room with us while we were talking,” Bigsby said. “We really were talking about the same thing. That when I come, I can start my own legacy.”

Bigsby has held the Gamecocks among his top group, a list he plans to publicize in February. He said this visit doesn’t change anything for him.

“It’s the same that it’s always been. I don’t want to say nothing yet until next month,” he said.

Bigsby said he will visit Auburn this coming weekend and he also plans to visit LSU and Georgia. And he plans a return trip to USC in February.
