Diggs, who participated in this year’s Under Armour All-American Game, is the son of former Gamecock linebacker Shed Diggs. Tonight, we spoke with him about his decision to come to Columbia, his relationship with Carolina’s other commitments, and how he fits into the Gamecock defense.

SportsTalk Rewind 1.30.12: Clemson Commitment Germone Hopper (AUDIO)

We’ve been covering football recruiting forever, and year in and year out we get to know Clemson and USC’s respective classes pretty well.  We’re now only two days away from the class of 2012 being put in the books.  Until National Signing Day has come and gone though, we’re committed to letting you hear from some of the coming attractions.

First up was a Gamecock and Under All American, Mike Davis.  Of course we had a Tiger and Army All American on deck .  Charlotte native, Germone Hopper, is considered one of the top wideouts in the country, and a key cog to the offensive side of the ball in the Tigers 2012 class.

Tonight we talked speed with Germone, something he possesses plenty of, and also something Chad Morris likes to take advantage of in his high-powered offense.  We asked him why he chose Clemson, how he plans to fit in, and what he expects in the coming months.
