On the I Am Athlete podcast Deion said he will be the best coach to help kids with NIL, and talk about having a plan in place. He has been proven correct again. His player is the first player to announce a deal, put that down in the record book.

Why is it that when Shane Beamer tweets out #WelcomeHome, we don't really have any idea who committed? I mean, this is supposed to be an insiders site yet I feel like I'm not getting much inside info. Now I totally understand that the writers/analysts here aren't trying to ruin the moment for the guys announcing, but we've got no hints, no futurecasts, no projections, no nothing. The only one that could have been inferred was Anthony Rose with "welcome back home" in the tweet. Do we even have an idea of who the remaining three "silent" commits are or when they'll go public

To all that love America Happy 4th of July

When will he be announced? Any specific date or is just a “within the next week” kinda deal?

He has been leading for a while with 22. Always good to see a Gamecock representing us so well.

Well, at least our repeat team got some respect.

Last time the #1 overall seed won the CWS was 1999. Everyone thinks they are a shoo-in for the title is most likely wrong. Arky had their shot a championship in 2018, and they choked.

Does anyone have any updates on how SC Recruits and Targets are doing at the Opening?

Coach Norvell seems to be doing a good job. This is good news, imo, for Gamecock fans. If someone in the ACC can challenge Clem it would seem FSU or Miami would be natural and make that conference a little more competitive.

Whatever your opinion of Muk after his sudden departure from the team, he's still a Gamecock in my eyes, and I was recently reading up on what my Dallas Cowboys looked like in offseason workouts, and found this writeup on Mukuamu's performance so far:

• Mukuamu is a player that I've highlighted on my roster. He can move! The former college cornerback operates as a field general in single-high safety looks. His footwork is the catalyst for him being in position to make plays. He competes for passes and uses good angles to close. His cornerback resume is what helps him track and flip in the open field. The sixth-rounder shouldn't be a long shot to make the roster.

Obviously nothing will be finalized until training camps open in the fall, but based on early returns, it looks like despite being picked in the 6th round that Muk should end up making the Cowboys' roster this year. I'll definitely be pulling for him if he ends up playing on Sundays. Once a Gamecock, always a Gamecock in my book.

SATURDAY UPDATE:

With the commitment of Emory Floyd, there is just one silent #WelcomeHome out there.

Floyd was the commitment from this Wednesday afternoon.

The remaining silent commit is from the prior Wednesday.

FRIDAY UPDATE:

With the public commitment of Nick Emmanwori on Thursday night, South Carolina now has just two silent commits that are yet to be revealed.

Emmanwori's commitment to Beamer was the late night #WelcomeHome from Beamer last Wednesday.

The two #WelcomeHomes that remain silent are the other one from last Wednesday and the one from this Wednesday.

I don't think yall will be waiting long for the final two to be revealed.

As of right now, South Carolina has 13 public commits and 15 total when you add in the silents.

College football insider Phil Steele believes the Gamecocks are in for an unexpectedly improved season in 2021.

Vanderbilt might soon be top 10 in recruiting. I do think college athletes need to be paid something more than a Scholarship for the money they bring in for a school. But how, who, how much, will be gigantic mess.

Can't be downtown Charleston, but anywhere around it. Appreciate your help!

This leaves only UK, Ole Miss, Auburn and A&M without a title game appearance

He’ll post it on social - South Carolina, Georgia, Florida are finalists.

We will have complete coverage…

South Carolina landed a big man transfer Thursday morning, picking up LSU transfer Josh Gray to bolster the Gamecocks’ frontcourt next season and likely round out the roster for the 2021-22 season. Gray—who’s listed at 7-foot, 255 pounds—will bring much-needed size to a Gamecock roster coming off a season where it lacked size and depth at the forward spot.

Gray was someone South Carolina recruited coming out of high school with his recruitment led then by Chuck Martin. The Gamecocks tried to get him on campus for a visit but ultimately didn’t land him. Instead he went to LSU.

Second time is the charm for South Carolina, and the hope is Gray is able to bring some physicality and rim protection to South Carolina’s team this year.

Gray only appeared in 10 games last season for LSU, averaging less than a point and 3.3 minutes per game, but he was playing behind a junior in Darius Days and All-SEC big man Trendon Watford.

He only attempted six field goals (made three) and seven free throws (made two) this year, so it’s hard to make sweeping judgments off those numbers but he’ll need to obviously improve his free throw shooting percentage.

But, for a guy who only played a grand total of 33 minutes, his free throw rate of 116.7 is certainly good and the Gamecocks could benefit if he’s able to extrapolate that over the course of an entire season.

In a very limited sample size, Gray’s turnover rate (18.1) wasn’t great, but over the course of a season that should level out. He was really good at offensive and defensive rebounding with an offensive rebound rate of 16.7 and a defensive rate at 21.5.

Gray also committed a pretty high 8.5 fouls per 40 minutes while drawing 5.9 fouls per 40, which is good. Both of those, again, are in a very small sample size.

South Carolina also believes with its development of bigs under Frank Martin Gray can help the team and really improve his game at the same time.

Gray’s actually one of the few incoming transfers I’ve seen in person. I got the chance to watch him practice during the winter of 2019 during a trip up to the Northeast and left pretty impressed with his game.

He’s strong, long and athletic and operates really well around the rim. In practice he ran the floor really well for someone 6-foot-11 and over 250 pounds and finishes well through traffic.

This pickup gives South Carolina certainly more size and girth in the interior, which is something lacking last year with just one player over 6-foot-10 on the roster to start the year in Wildens Leveque. Tre-Vaughn Minott was added midyear and still needs to continue improving his body to be able to compete and sustain for a 40-minute game.

Gray will be able to compete right away for minutes in the frontcourt and provide another option without sacrificing size down low.

Frank Martin’s successful years and years with the most wins during his time at South Carolina have come primarily playing with two bigs in the paint—a low and high post big—and operating three-out, two-in. With Leveque, Gray and Minott now paired with an AJ Wilson or Ta’Quan Woodley it gives the Gamecocks more chances to successfully do it.

Why test for weed? And why smoke or ingest it if you know you may be tested? Just dumb all the way around.
