Part I - South Carolina's running back recruiting was a roller coaster ride this cycle, culminating in five-star Marshawn Lloyd, four-star ZaQuandre White, and underrated player Rashad Amos out of Georgia. How did it all come about? What's up with the Tank Bigsby story? We go in-depth on the players at the position South Carolina was involved with and what happened along the way.

Part II - Which Alabama signee did South Carolina nearly steal away late in the process? We also recap several summer camp offers that the staff sent out, address a rumor on a four-star OL that South Carolina was involved with, and dish on big-time talent Eric Shaw's recruitment.

Part III - An in-depth look at how the Gamecocks landed Myrtle Beach's Luke Doty. Did he ever waver after an early pledge? Which other big-name programs tried to get involved here? Plus, more on the "Big 5" that Doty helped put together and the word on Conway's Tonka Hemingway.

Part IV - Insight into how tight end Jaheim Bell backed away from a Florida commitment and ended up with the Gamecocks. More on Carolina's OL class, including beating out Penn State for Jakai Moore, plus a look at the surprising commitment of linebacker Mo Kaba.

BONUS edition: A detailed look back at the Jordan Burch recruitment with Chris Clark and Wes Mitchell. The guys separate fact from fiction, address rumors that came up during the process, and recap the wild ride that was Burch's recruitment - one that went on past the February signing day despite Burch being verbally committed. What happened?
