Head coach Steve Spurrier met with the media Monday to talk about the signing of Jadeveon Clowney

Obviously we got wonderful news this morning when Jadeveon Clowney ... (announced) he's coming with the Gamecocks. We've been recruiting him for a while. Ellis Johnson did a super job recruiting him the last three years. He was on the team with Stephon Gilmore that won the state championship years ago. We've known about him and got him around as often as we could. Brad Lawing was heavily involved and Lorenzo Ward was heavily involved. I want to thank our fans at the basketball game when they started chanting "We want Clowney." That seems to work. Last year when we had Marcus Lattimore they chanted, (and he signed with us). We're excited about him and our fans will love this young man. He's been "yes sir, no sir" with me. The way he loves to play the game with a passion, our fans will enjoy watching him play. This is a big day for us.
