The State newspaper sports writer Seth Emerson has a update on USC pg Devan Downey on his newspaper site – HERE. As we know he was in Milwaukee for his final workout (the team has a story on its web site, along with pictures and video, of Downey’s workout). Seems he will take the entire […]

Per Seth Emerson of THE STATE, who reports HERE and HERE that USC PG Downey and USC F Archie are still trying to come to a conclusion of what to do with their basketball careers – come back to USC, try the NBA or possibly go to Europe. Emerson writes that, “Devan Downey texted his […]

I know this is a little old but I just ran across it this morning and thought it was of interest. I feel strongly that Horn’s class is much higher that the C+ given below. I think a solid B to B+ is due here for the fact it plugs holes and fits more of […]

Seems the Mitchell Carter experiment is officially over according to Seth Emerson. The six foot ten man child is departing from the team to finish his career somewhere else. Seems he never blossomed like Odom had hoped and he was not the next Tim Duncan. Here is his numbers 2008-2009 Did not Play 2007-08 Averaged […]

Was that quick or what? I am waiting for someone to complain about the hiring process on this one as to me…the outsider looking in….it was quick or maybe just bang-bang so to speak. Maybe this was all in the works for one to leave and one to join. Who knows…. Fact is Coach Horn […]

It was announced today that Robert Knotts, who served as the coordinator for operations for the men’s basketball team this past season, is no longer with the program. Not a big deal but never good to have members of the coaching staff leave especially after being crowned Co Champs of the SEC East. Hope Robert […]

After reading, Five questions USC faces for 2009-10, from THE STATE and USC men’s basketball pick up two more signees ; I decided to take a stab at what the squad looks like in the upcoming season. Now this is assuming that Archie and Devan will be back. The 09-10 Gamecock Squad —StartersPG: Downey Devan […]

I honestly did not expect this one but I can understand why…. Archie, a redshirt junior, stresses that he still plans to return to school for his final season of eligibility. He just wants to go through the process to get feedback on what he needs to improve on….hard to argue that. The 6-foor-7 forward […]

Horn denies the rumors that he is talking to Xavier which is welcomed news this morning. I don’t think he would leave for the Xavier job as he has a good thing going at USC after just one year. If this was year 3 or 4 then I would be worried but I can not […]

Horn there is no reason to go North so stick around Columbia and make gamecock fans proud! Leaving after one year would not look good on the resume. Do good work here in Carolina and it could lead to bright things in the future or a statue in the horseshoe. Report: Xavier talks with Horn

I read yesterday where the son of Michael Jordan decided to go and play college basketball at Univ of Central Florida and my first thought is why not us? Couldn’t Horn make a stronger argument than UCF on why we could use him and how? USC is a much better program than UCF. USC was […]

South Carolina guard Devan Downey has decided to put his name in the NBA draft but not hire an agent, the team announced on Tuesday….more HERE. Not a real surprise as LOHD thought he would explore this opportunity. Heck, if I was in his shoes I would do the same thing. He would be dumb […]

The South Carolina men’s basketball student section known as the “Garnet Army” was showcased during the final four….pretty cool! I hope you saw it during the commercial break last night but if not below is the links…. Links: Story: Garnet Army Student Section Featured In Final Four Coke Zero Commercial Video: Final Four Coke Zero […]

Not sure we had a shot or even if Coach Horn called the kid but I was still hoping we could shock the nation and land Curry. Oh well…. Seth Curry to transfer from Liberty to Duke

 “Coach Horn said today that he has welcomed Alshon to play basketball if Coach Spurrier approves”  Any thoughts on AJ playing basketball for Carolina as well as football.  Do you think Coach Spurrier would allow a football player to hit the hardwoods?
