DEL.ICIO.USSmith says S. Carolina’s ‘a great fit’

Camden County wide receiver DeAngelo Smith said there were several factors behind his decision to commit to South Carolina last week.
Smith picked the Gamecocks over East Carolina and Indiana, among others, and had emerging interest from Georgia and Florida.
Smith said he grew up in Charleston, S.C., and remained a fan of the Gamecocks. Smith said his decision also was influenced when he was informed by South Carolina assistant Steve Spurrier Jr. that the Gamecocks were going to sign four receivers and already had extended offers to many of the Southeast’s elite.
“I love South Carolina. It’s a great fit for me, and I didn’t want to take a chance on losing that scholarship by waiting too long,” Smith said.
It appears Smith made a wise decision. Three receivers, including Smith and Coffee County’s DeMario Bennett, told the elder Spurrier at South Carolina camp last weekend that they intend to sign with the Gamecocks.
