There’s somewhat of a running joke that every college football staff wants to coach on conference championship weekend but also hates losing out on valuable recruiting time.
South Carolina’s Will Muschamp will be coaching, not in a championship game, and his staff has to balance getting ready for Akron and sneaking out a little to talk with some prospects.
The contact period opened Sunday night, meaning coaches can go face-to-face with recruits for this year’s class and next. USC is currently sitting at six open spots in the 2019 class, with 17 commits and two transfers, and things could shift with some potential decommits and former signee Tyquan Johnson at prep school.
