Recruiting: Gamecocks land 'big' commitment
| Posted by icatcher on Tuesday, August 23 @ Eastern Daylight Time (696 reads)
University of South Carolina coach Dave Odom has received a "big" commitment.
Mitchell Carter, a 7-foot, 280-pounder from Milwaukee, Wisc., who wears a size 19 shoe, committed to the Gamecocks during his official visit this past weekend, his coach said Monday.
"When we got Mitchell, he was a very big boy. Now he's a very big man," Rufus King High School coach Jim Gosz said. "Mitchell isn't going to be a McDonald's All-American this year. But I think in three years Mitchell can be one of the dominating big men in the SEC. I think if he's on course in five years, he will be drafted."
