I give it up to South Carolina because they’re pretty much real on their word. One thing about these kids, they know what’s real and not. You have to take your hats off for South Carolina. I think people overlook that.”ĭaemon Powell: “I’m seeing (them) a little more. … So you say ‘Why have they made the inroads so quickly?’ Well, they didn’t. When (Shane) was at Oklahoma, go back and look and they got kids out of there.
And when Shane was there they recruited DMV hard. You gotta remember when Frank Beamer was at Tech, they recruited the DMV hard. It means a whole lot.”īrian Dohn: “(Shane) Beamer has those relationships. It’s totally different when one of those guys walk in as opposed to somebody who’s just new to the D.C. That’s just a story of the guys on the staff that did have that relationship in this area and it helps a lot. Sterling has a great background being with the Ravens. (Defensive line coach Sterling Lucas) spoke at our clinic. “Pete Lembo was a head college coach at (Ball State, Elon and Lehigh) that would always recruit the D.C. If somebody else was the coach at South Carolina, maybe they would have the relationships that exist, but (Beamer) does have those relationships. I’m not sure if he had the same type of relationships up here, as Coach Beamer does.
He’s an outstanding coach and was fantastic. When coach (Steve) Spurrier was there, he did a great job. And when the coaches trust you, that filters down to the kids.”īill McGregor: “I think so much of it is relational. And you get a guy like Pete Lembo, who does really well up there, too, who has great connections up there, knows the coaches. He’s a personal guy, who is dogged in recruiting. They understand who he is and the family he’s from. And the parents of these kids grew up when Virginia Tech was really good, and know Frank Beamer. When he was at Oklahoma, he got some kids (from the DMV) out of there. Shane Beamer is familiar with that area from his time at Virginia Tech. With that, when he went to South Carolina, of course, that helps a little bit there.”īrian Dohn: You have to look at ‘why,’ first of all. He’s an awesome guy and just a great person, aside from being a football coach. So, I have a personal relationship with Pete. And on a personal note, my son played at Maryland and he was his position coach. Pete Lembo, who’s at South Carolina now, was at Maryland previously. We’ve had multiple coaches (from South Carolina stop by). “Sterling Lucas has done a really good job with our area. They’re here consistently, every opportunity. And not just a cursory pop in, make your presence known and then out. We’re attracting a lot of interest from a lot of schools, but South Carolina has made, it appears to me, a concerted effort to really hone in on the top players in our area and certainly the top players on our team.
Though Beamer should be applauded for his honesty, it is time to get back to work in Columbia.Andy Stefanelli: “Yeah, I think certainly since Shane Beamer has taken over, there’s definitely been more of a presence. When a team has that many five-stars on one side of the ball, it can make decent competition like South Carolina look completely outmatched. The Dawgs are littered with talent all over the gridiron. Georgia has a 6-foot-6, 340-pound defensive tackle by the name of Jordan Davis who might be the most dominant player in the Power Five. Obviously, Beamer addressed the situation at hand. Shane Beamer’s response to facing the Georgia defense is incredible content Though South Carolina is way better than many people thought they would be this season, the Gamecocks’ improved passing attack was still no match for the Hungry Dawgs defense. Given that he used to work for Kirby Smart in Athens only a few years ago, this only makes his response all the more better. It was honest and the complete antithesis of coachspeak. South Carolina may have scored a touchdown in extreme garbage time on Saturday night, but Beamer’s response in the post-game presser was absolutely priceless. While Shane Beamer is doing a great job turning around his South Carolina football program already in year one at Columbia, he just saw firsthand how insanely challenging it is to move the ball on the Georgia football team’s outstanding defense. South Carolina football head coach Shane Beamer had an unbelievable soundbite on how difficult it is to move the ball on the Georgia football team’s punishing defensive line.
