He has hit the recruiting trail hard and is even now building the program for future successes as he is not only finishing the 2012 class but working on the 2013 and 2014. Join me in welcoming the first […]

LaShay Page is visiting the University of South Carolina and the rumor is that he is likely to pledge to be a member of the Gamecocks basketball team. The 6-foot-2 senior guard from Dillon, S.C., was Southern Miss’s second-leading scorer for the 2011-12 campaign, averaging 11.6 points per game while making a team-high 75 3-pointers. Jeff […]

Sheldon Jeter will not be a member of the South Carolina Gamecocks basketball team as he chose to commit to Vanderbilt today. Jeter, a 6-foot-7 forward, would have been a nice addition for USC but oh well as Coach Frank Martin has a solid class without him. Jeter’s other three finalists were Penn State, Wisconsin […]

However, all signs around the Columbia area point to Frank Martin being named the next South Carolina head basketball coach as early as Monday.

Here is the belated, and abbreviated, field report for the last few games. South Carolina played Princeton over the weekend and continued their Tiger-taming ways by sweeping the series. Friday night’s game was another pitching duel. Freshmen Kyle Martin and Connor Bright both drove in runs to support Michael Roth’s appearance. Roth pitched beautifully before […]

Darrin Horn has been fired. As we noted (here and here) the drum beat was getting louder for the removal of Coach Horn due to lackluster performances the last two season, poor execution as a coach, bad attendance at home games and ineffective recruiting. Athletic director Eric Hyman had his standard end-of season meeting with Horn on […]
