One week ago, 88 high school football players from the class of 2019 attended Coastal Carolina’s Junior Day.
Like those of most college programs, the event served as one of the highlights of the recruiting calendar. And just like last year, more than 70 percent of the kids who attended were from the state of South Carolina.
It was Coastal’s next opportunity to impress not only those players, but their parents and coaches who of late have recognized faults – some real, some imagined – with the school’s connection to South Carolina’s talent pool.
On Wednesday, when CCU expects to wrap up its scholarship class with the start of the late signing period, there is expected to be very little Palmetto State representation on the list.
