Talent wise we should beat Illinois with that roster. All the remaining RBs need some carries to see what we have for next season. Haynes was a big loss. We still probably need an experienced back from the portal.
I WOKE UP THIS MORNING FEELIN THE CHEESIEST COACH #Illinois Fightin' Illini #South Carolina Gamecocks
Also the white cheddar cheeze-it’s with a cool, crisp Diet Coke has become my go-to late morning office snack. Highly recommend for a pre-lunch appetizer.
Seems like we are stacking some high ranked local receivers in this class -- this guy, Malik Clark, Jordon Gidron
If someone on here knows ball, I'd like to hear their assessment. I just see three guys ranked 4 star from in state at a fun position and feel excitement. Not sure if these are Pharoh Cooper 4 stars or Jason Barnes/Joe Hills 4 stars
How could you possibly leave Dion Lecorn out of the 4 star WR bust conversation? He and his HS teammate John Brantley under didn’t quite meet expectations. Antonio Allen was in the same graduating HS class and was rock solid for us.
Duuude I same thing happened to me but it hit me right as I was about to google “South Carolina Recruiting Class 2007”. I remembered the Brantley and Allen bit but was blanking on his name. Think I might have the Alzheimer’s. THANKS LECORN.
Man, just go to the NFL or graduate or whatever. The long farewell letters are just annoying after the tenth one
Update on this -- Tried to get my last HG hurrah Dec 27. Went at 4pm to avoid a crowd. Nope, every table filled and two deep all the way around the bar. Next tried Transmission. Also ass packed at 4pm on a Friday. Ended up at "Republic Biergarten", the old Flying Saucer. We were the only souls in the place. It has become a Five Points style pool hall with sticky bathroom floors. I was able to get some food though.
Yep. And now we're even worse, cause I see Stute is out indefinitely with "lower leg thrombosis." Don't think I can bring myself to watch the snuff film tonight
We will play better than we did against MS State, but the league is hella good and we are badly missing what Cooper brought us. A table setter who gets everyone good looks. Look at our assist totals, it’s bad. We don’t move the ball as well anymore
The transfer we lost to Nova was rough. He’d make a big difference. We had that guy but he couldn’t say no to the hometown school
Article is scant on details. This would be huge for Columbia though. Improve game day atmosphere, improve safety, improve life for all of us driving down that street etc. Columbia secures $204M in federal funding for Assembly Street railroad separation project Spoiler COLUMBIA — The city has secured over $200 million in federal funding to separate Assembly Street from the railroads that cross it. The funding designation was disclosed in a document provided to The Post & Courier by U.S. Rep. Jim Clyburn's office on Jan. 8. It's the biggest step forward yet for the huge project, aimed at reducing traffic congestion and increasing safety along one of downtown's busiest thoroughfares. The frequent rail use by freight companies like NS and CSX has long plagued areas of downtown with heavy traffic congestion along the busy road. The money is a part of the Biden Administration's Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which authorizes up to $108 billion for public transportation. The project could cost somewhere between $275 million and $300 million, and potentially more, depending on which design option is chosen and when construction begins. The city, Richland County and S.C. Department of Transportation will contribute the rest of the funding. Next, one of three design options for the project will need to be chosen. That's planned to be complete in by the end of January, according to SCDOT's timeline of the project. Columbia Mayor Daniel Rickenmann praised Rep. Clyburn and Sen. Lindsey Graham for their efforts in helping the city secure funding for the project. "Their efforts helped us get over the edge. It will have a lasting impact on Columbia," Rickenmann said. "I couldn't be more excited." https://www.postandcourier.com/colu...cle_cc662752-cdda-11ef-8288-2bb3a9de2938.html

Have heard great things about the safety from Norfolk, Kendall Daniels. Big hitting safety. Same high school as Kam Chancellor
They can’t finish a game to save their lives. No veteran presence and calm demeanor like last year. Really tough to watch.
Good news - we're adding a 2025 WR who had 1500 yards and 27 TD in 11th grade. Bad news - he's 5'8 160. And from some Christian school. Spoiler Christ Church WR Jackson Repp (5-8 160) earned a scholarship offer from South Carolina coach Shane Beamer after turning in some blazing speeds in camp last summer. A torn ACL early in the season slowed the recruiting process, but Repp said throughout his rehab, Beamer and receivers coach Mike Furrey stood behind the offer. Monday, Repp finalized the deal by announcing a commitment to the Gamecocks, but he will be joining the program as a preferred walk-on with the plan to go on scholarship in January. “I’ll be reporting this summer and on the team for the fall,” Repp said. “With my situation, I had lots of talks with the coaching staff and decided this was the best option for everyone. With my ACL, and the rehab process, I want to get onto campus as soon as possible. Working with the entire staff and my new teammates is #1 priority. I’ve talked with other schools and kept relationships, but throughout the entire process the USC staff has been so supportive of me. Since receiving the offer this summer, I’ve always felt like the University of South Carolina was home.” As a junior, Repp caught 63 passes for 1510 yards and 27 touchdowns. He accumulated 2393 all-purpose yards and 32 total touchdowns. He said earlier in the recruiting process that Beamer and Furry view him as a contributor in a couple of different ways. “I think it’s not just me as a receiver, it’s me and what I can do in the special teams game and how I can be used other ways as well,” Repp said. “As a receiver, I talked to Coach Furrey and Beamer and they both said I’ve got elite route running, elite ball skills, elite hands, elite speed obviously. The one quality I don’t have that’s elite is the height. There’s ways to work around that. I can’t change that. I’m not worried about that. There’s ways they can use me where I don’t need to be a 6-5 outside receiver. I can be in the slot and all that, return kicks and punts, anyway that I can be used in that offense. I think there’s a lot of ways I can be productive.” But all coaches know you can’t coach speed, and Repp knew he had done something special in front of the USC staff that day in camp. “I knew it was fast when I ran it. I felt like I was moving. I came back to Coach Furrey and was looking at the stopwatch and I was like holy crap, that’s my fastest one ever,” Repp said. “I wouldn’t say I was expecting anything after, but that definitely raised some eyebrows. I knew that was going to get me even more on the map. I had seven on seven earlier at South Carolina and I performed there and got some more eyes on me.” Repp gives South Carolina seven receivers in the 2025 class with five of them from the state.
