According to the article below a decision regarding Coach Horn's future with the Gamecocks could be made possibly this week. The Gamecocks need a fresh start.......Gregg Marshall. The Gamecocks football team finished their 2011 season with more wins (11)(11-2 record), than the Gamecocks 2011-2012 men basketball teams season total wins (10) (10-21 record, last in the SEC). That is not acceptable. Can Coach Spurrier also coach basketball? I hope Eric Hyman has Gregg Marshall's phone number on speed dial. It will be very hard to recruit and get the top highschool basketball players to commit to the Gamecocks men basketball program that is needed to compete and win in the SEC when there is so much uncertainty about the future of the Gamecocks men basketball head coach. Even if Coach Horn returns next season, why would a top highschool basketball recruit risk their own future to play for a coach on the "hot seat"? That could be a reason why Coach Horn and his coaching staff is reportly going to visit some JUCO players after the Gamecocks SEC tournament loss to Alabama. Top highschool players will not come if they know the head basketball coach will be released/fired within a year. It is a bad situation for the Gamecocks men basketball program to be in.
