Class of 2014 three-star quarterback Michael Scarnecchia (Orange Park, Fla./Fleming Island) and was one of 13 South Carolina commitments to take his official visit last weekend.

Quarterback Michael Scarnecchia was blown away by his visit to South Carolina.

The 6-foot-4, 189-pound prospect made the trip with his parents and got to take his first full in-depth look at the program.

"I didn't know everything was this nice, because we didn't really get to see everything until this weekend," Scarnecchia said. "After seeing it all, this is probably going to be the best four years of my life. It is going to be a lot of hard work but it is going to be fun."

Scarnecchia, who has a rating of 0.8095 in the industry-generated 247Sports Composite, detailed some of the events of the trip.

"It was real fun," Scarnecchia said. "We got up here Friday and we went to dinner. We went out with some of the players and hung out for the night. We saw the town and all that kind of stuff. Saturday we hung out, we got some lunch -- we went to Jillian's and played some games and pool -- that was fun. Then we went to dinner and went to the basketball game which was fun, also. There were a lot of people there. Then we went out again."

Scarnecchia was hosted on the trip by walk-on quarterback Perry Orth.

"We also hung out with (Brendan) Nosovitch and two other linemen, Clayton and Brock (Stadnik). We were all cool," Scarnecchia said. "They said they were going to take me in when I come up here. All the players, when we hung out, they were all funny. Coming up here and already knowing everybody will be fun. I like all of the commits. They are all good guys. I think we're all cool. We are going to have a really good class. Hopefully we will be the next senior class that has the most wins in USC history."

"It was real fun hanging with the players and getting to know them more," he added. "We all exchanged numbers and are going to keep in contact and try to get these other recruits."

Scarnecchia, who is ranked as the No. 76 pro-style quarterback in the country by the recruiting industry, also spent time with head coach Steve Spurrier and quarterbacks coach G.A. Mangus as they went over the Gamecocks' offense.

"We actually watched some film on the Wisconsin game and went over some of the stuff they are going to be talking about, some of the lingo they use for the plays and formations," Scarnecchia said. "They are just going to ease me into their system, because I'm probably going to redshirt my first year because they have Dylan (Thompson).

"My second year here, hopefully I can get that starting job and beat out the other guys. Coach Spurrier was just talking about how he's more the passer guy talking and Coach Mangus has more of the details. We're going to get into a lot more details when I get up here on June 1."
