IMO, TN is too big and too fast of a team for our guys. Frank is going to want this to be a slog-fest… a fist fight, pushing their guys to shoot from outside using hard-nosed defense, and they’re going to punish us from the inside as a result. Lots of over the top lobs and back door cuts. I...
100% with you, @Homebrewcock. I still think Frank has some good years of coaching left in him... just not at USC. I know former players of his from both KS St. and from USC, and they all still speak of how he will go out of his way to assist them. The guy knows how to build "boys into men"...
If I remember correctly, there is no buyout clause on Frank's contract right now. I could be wrong on that, but when it was renegotiated last season, I seem to remember that it was basically a "perform or you're done" kind of deal.
I've not entirely given up on Frank Martin yet, but it appears pretty certain that he's on his way out the door with the conference season grinding on in poor fashion. As such, I'm giving my notice to the AD that here's the guys I'd like to see him chase after to be the next head coach:
Wes...
As everyone knows, the 'Cocks sit at a respectable 3-1 on the young season. After watching the play so far, with a group of guys that none of us know well (nor know what to expect from them), here are a few things I note:
1.) Our returning players are leading the charge in scoring. It's no...

TeMarcus Blanton announced yesterday via Twitter, "excited to announce I will be joining the South Cobb High School family! P.E. Teacher / Assistant Basketball Coach! #GoEagles".
Super happy for this next step in his career. Great guy who had a long patch of hard luck with the 'Cocks, but then...
Per Collyn Taylor at Gamecock Central, Frank Martin's staff has gotten busy on the recruiting trail with offers for 2022/23:
2022
Josh Reed, current no. 93 player in the country (6'6" SF). From Pace Academy in Atlanta. (Other offers include Northwestern, Iona, Arkansas, Clemson and George...
Just for grins, since there have been three transfer/portal announcements, I thought it might be interesting to review what the Gamecocks Men's Basketball team could look like next year. Where are our strengths/weaknesses?
First, the Seniors... these are the guys who typically excel in a Frank...
The State is reporting that Keyshawn Bryant is testing the NBA waters, but not signing with an agent (so he can return to College play if no interest).
COVID strikes again... only this time it’s not against us (it’s struck TN’s program).
Per SEC statement, Tuesday’s game against TN has been rescheduled to Wednesday evening at 9pm...
Just announced on USC's main sports page (gamecocksonline.com) that Alonzo Frink is out for the rest of the season for medical reasons.

Today's press conference.
At the 6:50 mark, Frank mentions Seventh Woods' current status (with the tweaked knee from the Tulsa game). He's hopeful he'll be ready by this weekend, but Seventh isn't currently practicing with the team as a precaution.
There's a free article (non-paywall) on Rivals yesterday (https://southcarolina.rivals.com/news/gamecocks-recent-history-over-ap-top-10-teams) detailing USC's record vs. top-10 opponents. Since we're approaching the Houston game, I thought that some highlights from the article might be helpful...
Since the change in the Football coaching staff, wondering aloud if there are any possibilities of this happening...
Anyone in the know heard any news about that recently...
Former Winthrop HC, and name that comes up every time the fans aren't happy with CFM - Gregg Marshall is in the news right now.
