Will Muschamp talks about his first signing class at South Carolina
Will Muschamp has been all over the South since being hired by South Carolina in December working hard to close a recruiting class in limited time.
He created quite a bit of buzz in the process, with “Spurs Up” becoming the recruiting rallying cry for the Gamecocks.
Here’s what he had to say about his first signing class:
