Optimism

Coach Beamer had said that we would have prospects visiting the campus almost every day in June. According to what I have read, tomorrow will be the thirteenth day in a row that prospects have been visiting, and from what I’ve heard, they have been stud prospects, and a lot of good things are being said about the program by those prospects.

Great to read this.  I really hope Beamer is the man to turn this around and we can get back to being competitive like those years under SOS.

 
I am cautiously optimistic while fully understanding that we have some rebuilding and growing to do and a long way to go before we get to where we need to be but I just saw two guys on some SEC related feed claim the Gamecocks should expect to go 2-10 this year...excuse my French but...Dafuq?!?

We will not go 2 for 4 against Eastern Illinois, East Carolina...who is going to be much improved, Troy and Vandy and then get blanked the rest of the way. I'll take this bet right now.

Agreed. I also think we take at least 1 from the games we aren't supposed to win.

I also think Shane's approach is all about the long game. Year 3 will be a better snapshot of improvement and trends than year 1, no matter how we do (well, to some extent, but you see what I mean).

 
Shane made the rounds yesterday and found the "Marty and McGee" guys. He and Marty are old friends, as both grew up in the Blacksburg area ... I think Marty went to Radford ( or Tech ?), but obviously has become a popular southern football journalist/commentator.

I can't base this on any fact, but I just feel that we will be .500 or slightly above this year.  I have no insider information or anything of the sort, but with the amount of work, preparation, and enthusiasm that seems to be happening in the program, I have a hard time believing that it won' t translate to some wins on the field.  We should have a pretty good OL, and we should have a pretty formidable DL, as long as the players are coached and motivated properly.  We finally have some depth on the lines, so that should help a lot.  We know that Coach Lembo will improve the Special Teams, and that alone could add another win to the list. Coach Beamer has impressed at everything he has done so far, so if he follows through, and he and the staff can coach as well as everything else they have done, I see no reason why we shouldn't be at .500 or slightly better at the end of the season. He has strategically added players to the team via the transfer portal, in positions we needed.  I think he handled the situation of not having time to build a recruiting class, and filling in positions of need like a champ.  If he can hold on to the recruits that are committed, and we have a winning season, imagine what the next recruiting class will be like.

I hope that Carolina truly is his dream job, because if he does what he appears to be capable of, there will be a lot of schools calling on him in a few years.
