The reason Josh Vann chose South Carolina over Georgia

Josh Vann only took recruiting visits to three schools, and those trips made his choice an easy one.

“He grew up a Georgia kid, and I thought he’d go to Georgia,” said Bryan Lamar, Vann’s coach at Tucker High School in Northeast Atlanta. “Georgia offered him and recruited him hard, but he just liked South Carolina more for whatever reason.”

Here’s the reason the four-star wide receiver picked the Gamecocks over the home state Bulldogs: “My parents didn’t know anything about the recruiting process, and I didn’t either. When Georgia was there, I was pretty happy. When we went up there, it was pretty good, but when we went to South Carolina, it was a whole different feeling.
