Checking in from CLA where we're going to have a 20-minute scrimmage, a three-point shootout and a slam dunk contest tonight to get the men's basketball season going. Hang around for some live updates.

Hearing from the coordinators soon at the football building.

A look at some top prospects who could change their minds:

Am I in the minority thinking Coach almost blew the best win of the year by not kicking the FG, and putting us up by 12 and sealing the deal, 33-21? After the onside kick I couldn’t watch. My heart was pounding. I’ve seen some horrific things happen to us. We won, and as SOS says”God smiled on the Gamecocks!”. Our staff can’t afford to get caught up in the moment and make wreckless decisions. Let’s hope they remain calm and make the correct call next time. GO COCKS!

Someone contacted me earlier today and said defensive guru and Oklahoma HC was at Clemson this weekend to watch his sons play. Apparently he was dressed in Clemson gear. My friend swears he was wearing a Clemson hat and shirt and it was not a joke. Did anyone else hear or see this? How could he face his players and commitment’s after pulling this stunt?

Is a unanimous preseason All-American again.

FROM USC:

Boston Lands Unanimous AP Preseason All-America Selection

COLUMBIA, S.C. – South Carolina senior Aliyah Boston was a unanimous selection on the 2023 Associated Press Preseason All-America team, the organization announced today. It marks the third time in as many seasons that she has earned Preseason All-America status from the organization, and she finished the season with the accolade each of the previous two seasons.

The reigning National Player of the Year, Boston is back for another season after a record-setting junior campaign. The NCAA Final Four MOP led the NCAA with a program-record 30 double-doubles last season, including an SEC-record 27 consecutive, as she stamped her authority on the 2021-22 campaign nationally. Her dominance extended beyond basketball as she was named SEC Roy F. Kramer Female Athlete of the Year and became the University’s first Honda Cup winner and CoSIDA Academic All-America Team Member of the Year. In each of her first three seasons, she was named the SEC Defensive Player of the Year, won the Lisa Leslie Award and picked up All-America recognition.

In 2021-22, Boston was the Gamecocks’ leading scorer with 16.8 points per game and ranked fourth in the nation with 12.5 rebounds per game. In the Gamecocks’ 14 games against ranked opponents, including seven against top-10 foes, Boston poured in 18.1 points per game and grabbed 13.9 rebounds per outing. In just her second NCAA Tournament, she was named Most Outstanding Player at both the Greensboro Regional and the Final Four after averaging 16.8 points and 15.2 rebounds in the tournament, during which she also led the team in assists.

She became the Gamecocks’ fifth-fastest player to reach 1,000 rebounds (92 games) and also reached 1,000 career points last season. In the program career record book, Boston ranks fourth in total rebounds, third in offensive rebounds, third in defensive rebounds, second in double-doubles and second in blocked shots. In 2021-22, she set program single-season records for total rebounds, offensive rebounds, defensive rebounds and double-doubles.

South Carolina will host an exhibition game against Benedict on Mon., Oct. 31, prior to officially opening the 2022-23 season on Mon., Nov. 7, against ETSU at Colonial Life Arena.

I'm not updating my futurecast just yet, but I do get the sense that South Carolina has solidified itself as one of, if not the top backup option for the Auburn 4-star Commit.

According to sources, Aggie mascot Reveille X has been suspended indefinitely following a violation of team rules. While unconfirmed, the rumor is that that Miss Rev urinated on the floor of Head Coach Jimbo Fisher’s offense.

“Rev knows she made a mistake, but we’re working through it. She’s a good girl,” Fisher said. “We just have to execute better. She’s gotta go outside better and we’ve gotta coach her better.”

Reveille was a member of the 2019 recruiting class, and appeared at every game for the Aggies over the past four seasons. Given her leadership role as the highest-ranking member of the Texas A&M Corps of Cadets, this outburst is particularly disappointing.

Darius Rush and Xavier Legette have been recognized by the Southeastern Conference for their performances in Saturday’s South Carolina’s 30-24 win over Texas A&M, the conference office announced today.

Rush has been selected as the SEC’s Defensive Player of the Week. A 6-2, 200-pound redshirt senior from Kingstree, S.C., Rush logged a game-high eight tackles, including six solo stops in the victory. He intercepted a pass in the first quarter and returned it 59 yards, setting up a Gamecock field goal and a 10-point lead early in the contest. He was also credited with a forced fumble and a pass break up in the contest.

Legette was selected as the SEC’s Special Teams Player of the Week. The 6-3, 220-pound senior from Mullins, S.C., set the tone for the game by returning the opening kick 100 yards for a touchdown, giving the Gamecocks a lead they would not relinquish. His kick return for a touchdown was the first for a Gamecock since Deebo Samuel went 90 yards with the opening kick at Ole Miss in 2018 and tied for the second-longest kick return in school history. Legette was also credited with a key tackle on kickoff coverage late in the fourth quarter, forcing Texas A&M to start a drive from their own 12-yard line with just 3 minutes remaining.

Rush, Legette and the Gamecocks (5-2, 2-2 SEC) will host the Missouri Tigers (3-4, 1-3 SEC) in an SEC Eastern Division battle for the Mayor’s Cup on Saturday, Oct. 29. Game time is set for 4 pm ET and the game will be televised by SEC Network.
