I want to preface this by saying that I’m ecstatic about the Pringle pickup but I think that we may be getting a little ahead of ourselves thinking he’s a plug and play LT against Tennessee game 1.    IMO the biggest thing about this pickup is that he potentially has 4 years left to play 4.  I had talked to a couple of my friends who are pretty tuned into Gamecock football when I heard he was visiting and while they really liked him they warned that he’s going need a little time.  They added that he has tons of potential but struggled with the speed of the game and hence tried at guard before entering the portal.

Pringle and Rice (if we are fortunate to get him as well) both played 2a and 3a football scholastically  in their respective states of SC and Virginia against a lot of inferior opponents.  They obviously must have tested well on the camp circuit to get such high grades by the recruiting services along with stellar play on the football field.   Rice has had multiple years at UNC and not broken into the rotation there at all so I’m less optimistic about him than Pringle but both have great potential and worth a shot imo.  Maybe our staff can light a fire under them and maximize that potential as they are a different level of pedigree than we normally carry in our OL room.

I think we just need to temper expectations a little until we hear some positive news out of camp mentioning Pringle working with the 1’s (or even making the 2 deep) before we anoint him starting LT.
