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...

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...

Adding a quick thread since one hadn’t previously been created...

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...

Saw some stuff out there on Frink in the last few days (see links below).  He's one guy that I'm REALLY excited to see this season.  I've been big on him for a while, but his skillset is unique, and the kid is a bruiser.  If the article proves true, and he's increased his strength significantly...

7’ 1” USC prospect John Butler tweeted he’ll announce his commitment this Wednesday. His top six choices are USC, Alabama, Georgia Tech, Florida State, Vanderbilt and Wake Forest.   He’s ranked as #2 in the state for his class.

Just curious on everyone’s thoughts on the Will Bailey hire as Assistant coach for Frank Martin’s staff. Personally, I think it’s a great move.  The St. Louis and LaSalle connections alone should improve the move of the needle for us in recruiting.  He has an impeccable reputation as a coach...
