Where do YOUR marks fit?
BeastMatch runs your marks against the real signing history of 980+ programs, South Carolina included — free, no account, results in seconds.
These numbers move every recruiting cycle — they’re last class’s signing marks, not a fixed bar. Programs also weigh progression, event needs, academics and open roster spots, so a mark in range starts a conversation; it doesn’t guarantee one.
