Many people know that Spurrier will sign a QB in every recruiting class.
Well this year, Steven Garcia is him.
The highly touted Garcia is ranked as a 4 star and the 5th best dual-threat QB in the nation by Rivals.
Carolina has been high on him for a while now, and Garcia's feelings are mutual for Carolina. He has had them as his #1 team since the spring game, when he stated "It was the most fun I've had in my life."
Many believe the reason he hasn't already committed is because ESPN is following his recruitment with a little documentary like they did with Tim Tebow last year. It's great because he will give Carolina some publicity upon his commitment. I really believe when he commits a few other big Florida prospects will follow him.
Anyway, what a lot of people don't know is that he made a good friend at the elite 11 camp. A guy by the name of Willy Korn.
From what I had heard about the camp, Steven and Willy were the life of the party. Where they went, the other guys followed. Whether it be hanging out on the beach, playing video games, or watching Garcia's favorite movie (Braveheart), thats where the other guys flocked to.
I think it's cool they have became close. Hopefully it will bring the Carolina/Clemson rivalry a little more publicity. To see just how close the 2 have become, read the article below. It contains quite a big tidbit.
USC Still Frontrunner For Garcia
August 23, 2006
QB Stephen Garcia (6-3 215) of Tampa said Wednesday night USC is still out front for him in a tight battle with Florida. "I'm comfortable with them and the town," Garcia said of the Gamecocks. He is also giving Ole Miss and Oklahoma consideration at this point. Garcia said he probably will come to Columbia for the Georgia game, and he plans to watch the Gamecocks play at Florida and at Clemson. For the Clemson game, Garcia said he will be staying with Clemson quarterback commitment Willy Korn. Garcia said he has not decided when he will make a decision on a school but it could come during his season. He opened the campaign last Friday night by completing 13 of 18 passes for 274 yards and 3 touchdowns and rushing for 36 yards in a 38-20 victory.
