By signing Roland Johnson of Byrnes (SC) and Andre Whitmire of Spartanburg(SC). Roland is a D-1A player that didn't get noticed until he moved to Byrnes for his senior year. There, he promptly led the Rebels in tackles from the nose guard position. He is a beast on the field, playing sideline to sideline and a quiet humble young man off the field. The Catamounts may have gotten the steal of the recruiting season.

I don't know Whitmire personally, but he is also a beast. Tremendous athlete and from what I hear a good kid.

Byrnes fan and a Wofford fan....I'm not sure if I like you (Go Indians)

anyway, a lot of good players come from the Upstate of SC, especially for the FCS.

to name a few:
SC State QB Malcolm Long(that's his name right? I can't believe I don't remember)
Wofford wideout Andy Strickland
GSU DB JP Shippy

that's from Gaffney High School alone...

as a Catamount fan, I sure hope so. Looking forward to seeing this kid in Cullowhee!

Was hoping Roland Johnson would come to Gardner-Webb following Byrnes teammate Jamie Dunaway who did one helluva of a job starting at right tackle (OL) this past season as a true freshman. Better to be a canine than a feline IMO. Here's hoping GWU makes it two in a row against the Cats this fall.

Oh - you're talking football. By your post title I thought that rural electrification finally made it to Cullowhee...

You telling me a guy 50 miles from Clemson and USC didn't get noticed? Doubtful. Who said he was a FBS (no more D1A) player?

There's some talent in Upstate SC, Byrnes, Dorman HS, etc....real talent

You guys say this every single year...I'll believe it when I see it ON THE FIELD

Rich, calm down man. BigApp is just messing with the Cantamount fans. This is how things work in the ASU-West Carolina rivalry...

There's nothing wrong with being excited, you should be. Just like we hillbillies are every year.

Western Carolina Just Got A Lot Better...

I wouldnt go THAT far..

Hard to get worse. By the way, I love that new white turf in your siggie.

You WCU guys have no idea how lucky you are. You beetter take good care of this lil fella. He is SPECIAL!!

And Dunaway played LT for GWU this past fall!! TRUE FRESHMAN on the blind side! GO REBELS!!

I was hoping to see him @ G-Webb, but wish him the best. And you are right RDJG WCU is lucky.

Was not a WCU fan that made that statement. I'm sure you're just hoping it NOT true.

So Western Carrrywinna will win 3 Total games this coming year, instead of two?

Go Can't-A-Mounts

Historically speaking, we App fans are pretty much banking on it not being true.......
