Well L.J. Peak…

Well, L.J. Peak surprised us as we thought he was a sure-fire Gamecock basketball recruit and I guess for a second he was. After that, he switched his pledge to Georgetown which is sort of a shocker, especially since he never visited the campus. I guess it is for the best as it is not […]

South Carolina (14-17, 4-14 SEC) can win the SEC Tourney. There, I said it. I have hope but I also know they have a long climb to that mountain top as they have earned the No. 12 seed. This means they must win five games….tough-sledding.  The Gamecocks begin the journey against No. 13 seed Mississippi […]
