4-star 2021 OLB decommits from South Carolina, flips to Georgia Tech
The South Carolina Gamecocks have lost a ton of talent from their 2021 recruiting class since firing coach Will Muschamp.
Now, they’ve suffered their sixth decommitment since the coaching change was made, and this one hurts, as it was the highest-rated remaining player in their class.
As you can see below, 4-star OLB Trenilyas Tatum out of Georgia announced via Twitter that he was decommitting from South Carolina and flipping to Georgia Tech:

Per the 247Sports composite rankings, Tatum is the No. 25 outside linebacker in the 2021 class and the No. 29 overall recruit from the state of Georgia.
The Gamecocks are now down to 10 players in their 2021 recruiting class. Prior to Tatum’s decommitment, the class was ranked No. 79 nationally and No. 14 in the SEC, per 247Sports.
“First off I would like to thank Will Muschamp…”
Well, there’s your first problem.
Christmas comes early for Tech with someone ranked that “high.” Maybe he doesn’t mind losing 6-7 games a year so Tech looked attractive?
How many national titles have these great recruiting classes won in the last 20 years? Somehow the coaching at Clemson, Ohio state, Auburn to name a few of the schools with lower ranking recruits that have won. Why not Georgia? Could it be the rankings aren’t that accurate? Nah. So it has to be the coaching. Maybe just bad luck
So many anti-UGA trolls
I was on one of our articles railing against Matt Stafford kneeling today for the national anthem and then I read the SC girls basketball team SAT for the anthem last night, all except one player. Throw their sorry buts on the street and pull their scholarships. Free education means nothing to them.
Hey Cletus, let’s talk when you stop inbreeding with your Aunt Vicky Sue. You are a dumb, ignorant redneck who needs to pick up a book and read! Take your little Trump train and educate yourself.
GEORGIA IS BLUE!
Its their right to sit stand do jumping jacks or whatever they choose to do during the National anthem. You of all people should know that being a retired solider. I’m also so tired of people saying these athletes are receiving free education! That education is bought with the blood, sweat and tears of the athlete. routinely that kid wakes up 3 to 4 hours daily before your average college student. They have to get practice in, film study, position meetings, workouts, rehabilitation and much much more along with all the academic crap the rest of the kids have to. Not to mention play a game on Saturday that is doing all sorts of damage to their bodies. I think they need to be paid more than just education.
Player: I was excited about being humiliated as part of a porous defense that would get blown out repeatedly and ridiculed all season long. Now that Mushy is gone and USC appears poised to hire a competent coach, I will never sign with them! Acc forever!!
Jeff Monken is going to make his mark on SC. Inside of 5 seasons, he will have them at 6 wins and bowl eligible again. Plus it’s going to be really fun watching the triple option in the SEC again.

Georgia Tech? He is probably not anyone USC would miss.
LOL!
I remember last year when a few SC fans were throwing Mullen under the bus and justifying why SC was actually a good program. Ha. Go Yellowjackets! Kid’s headed to a better program and will get a better education.
Good luck against Georgia
He will need luck against Georgia, a team Tech has beaten twice this century and none at home this century.
Be careful fellow gator. SC is bringing in Jeff Monken and the triple option offense. In a few years they might be hard to handle. Jeff Monken believes in the triple option attack. Based upon what he has seen at army. He feels he can do as good or better in 5 years in the SEC.

4*? Ehhh, we don’t recruit 4* players here under Chump. That Certainly was a typo.
Not true about not signing any 4 star recruits. Jordan Burch a 5 star signed with South Carolina last year. I am sure he is going to regret that decision.
Actually this class now is at 91.
Ouch!
Got to purge any semblance of mushump that remains. The quitters exposed themselves after the thief was fired, now get the quitter recruits out too.
Why don’t we eliminate that word that begins with the
letter m & ends with amp(m_______amp) so the purge is complete & South Carolina football can begin to resemble a SEC team and win some games ! Upward & Onward for the Cocks now !
I dont understand..if you are going to decommit shouldnt you use the effort to find a better program than the one you just snubbed? But then life is easier in the one horse ACC. That’s why the Louisville coach will stay right where he is. Its tough to get slobber knocked every weekend in the SEC.
When Arky fired that worthless Morris guy posing as a HC, they lost all but six recruits and dropped to something like 106 in class recruiting. A new coach came in and they got back to I believe 29 in one poll and 30 in the other with late efforts. No one in SC should be in a panic over this. It most likely is a blessing.
