Buddy Pough keeps a watchful eye on his guys
Orangeburg, SC (WLTX) --- With National Signing Day upon us, South Carolina State head football coach Buddy Pough talked about the process he and his staff go through in locking down prospects.
Pough is about to sign his 11th recruiting class at South Carolina State. He says his philosophy is to keep a close eye on the SEC and ACC schools for those players who for whatever reason, don't sign with the big boys of college football.
Then it's just a matter of getting the players in for visits and selling them on the S.C. State program.
Pough says he isn't expecting any surprises on Signing Day, but will be anxiously waiting to receive the letters-of-intent.
Last year, S.C. State had a record number of freshmen and sophomores on the two-deep depth chart when the season began, so Pough can always tell prospects he isn't afraid to play a newcomer if that newcomer can contribute.
