Second early signing period bears down on Muschamp, USC. The first one was surprising

South Carolina’s Will Muschamp is usually planning ahead, laying things out, building contingencies.

But the Gamecocks’ head man didn’t see what was coming when the NCAA instituted an early signing day for football.

“I never thought when they first came up with this you would be signing this many guys,” Muschamp said.

A year ago, his squad inked 20 on the first signing day in mid-December and only two in February (Dylan Wonnum and Rick Sandidge). After that came a pair of grad transfers in J.T. Ibe and Nick Harvey to round out the group.
