He's a 5-star QB from Raburn Georgia...

No Miami never offered & it wouldn't have mattered if we did he's a SEC QB to the fullest.

His top 2 was UGA & South Carolina & he obviously picked South Car because he would've been sitting on the bench at UGA for the first 3 years of his career with how crowded their QB room is & because Mike Bobo did a good job selling him on the opportunity to start as a TF.

I think there's some family connection to Bobo , too. Can't remember what it is exactly.

EDIT: FOUND THE STORY The relationship is with Bobo and Connor Shaw...

When Gunner Stockton was nine-years old he received a photo that currently hangs on his bedroom wall from now South Carolina offensive coordinator Mike Bobo, who in the autographed picture is wearing his Georgia football uniform, signed “I hope I get to coach you one day.”

Next to the Tiger (Ga.) Raburn County standout’s picture of Bobo on the wall is an autographed photo of Connor Shaw, the winningest-quarterback in South Carolina history, who now happens to be on staff in Columbia as the Director of Football Student-Athlete Development. That one reads “thanks for always supporting me.” Stockton wears No. 14 just like Shaw and down the road hopes to have at the very least the same amount of success donning that number in the SEC.

So with that, there is no surprise that Stockton is commit No. 1 for Will Muschamp and the Gamecocks in the 2022 class as the 247Sports Composite five-star recruit and No. 1 ranked dual-threat passer chose to play for South Carolina over Georgia and a slew of other offers.

There are obviously plenty of ties to the Bobo and Shaw family that helped the Gamecocks secure this huge pledge. Bobo’s father George, a Hall of Fame High School coach in the state Georgia, was first to tell Stockton’s father Rob when Gunner was seven-years old that the young boy was going to be quarterback. Shaw’s father Lee is also a legendary high school coach in the Peach State who coached the elder Stockton in high school, and the younger Stockton for his first season, before handing the keys over to his other son Jaybo.

“After Gunner’s first varsity game which was a scrimmage game, Coach Shaw sent me a text and I still have the text that said ‘your son will be the best quarterback I ever coached.’ That coming from a dad who had sons Connor and Jaybo hit me like a ton of bricks and was an unbelievable compliment. I realized there was something special here.”

I didn’t realize Bobo went there as OC. That CSU move was a weird one.

Yes, apparently all of the USC fans knew he was going to go to USC long ago....I remember when we felt that way about Sony Michel
 
I'm alum from SC. Guy is coming there pretty much entirely because of Bobo. Known he was going to commit for a while.
SC just had their starting RB go out with an ACL and have had not a lot of good news lately lol. I think we can let them have something to look forward to.

In regards to Miami, goes to show doing Community Service Projects and connecting to Youth Football Programs in the area could make a huge difference with future recruits.
 
What’s up with this guy? Why can’t we go after him? I seen him play TV and **** he looked pretty **** good to me. Muschamp is out at SC and he is duel threat. I see the Garcia thing going but it don’t seem like he want to be here so forget him and try and go hard at this kid! I got 2 stacks on da bag!😂😂😂

Apparently his idol is Connor Shaw. He should strive to be better and idolize someone like Arch Manning
