I am happy to announce that I have officially joined
@CollegeBaseCNT
! I will be covering the South Carolina baseball team! I'm excited for this new opportunity to help grow the game and bring all of you more South Carolina baseball content!
14 of the 15 commits South Carolina has are 4βοΈ or higher (Mason Love is a 5βοΈ with Kohl's kicking).
South Carolina has the opportunity to add 2-3 more 4βοΈ players in the next 2 days!
This includes recruiting wins vs. Alabama, Ohio State, Clemson, Georgia, etc.
Shane is him!
Post-game thoughts:
- Mario is 100% RB1
- Joyner needs to be goaline back or slot WR
- Rattler and XL are the best QB/WR duo in the country
- OL was much improved. Hopefully, they play this way versus a good front 7
- Clayton Whiteβs seat should be FLAMING HOT π₯π₯π₯
I was one of the biggest anti-Lamont people when he was hired. I was wrong. I decided to be positive and hope for the best this year. I've watched every game and have grown to love what Lamont is doing here. I'm fully bought in.
I apologize Lamont. You are the guy!
π¨ Breaking News π¨
South Carolina has landed a slew of commitments from the transfer portal and high school players! Shane Beamer and crew are COOKIN!!!!!!
LET SHANE COOK!!!!!! These 4 players are all predicted to South Carolina, and there are still A LOT more big-time playmakers he is after!
Beamer owns the transfer portal!
BOOM!
South Carolina adds SS Jordan Carrion from Florida State, and yes, he will play this spring.
Carrion hit .273 with 20 doubles, 4 triples, two homers, and 15 stolen bases, 936 FLD% at FSU over 2 seasons. He also spent some time at Florida before FSU.
We barely lost to a top 25 team with BJ Mack and Myles Stute shooting a combined 4-21 and 1-11 from 3pt.
We are fine. Should've won, but plenty to play this season.
π¨ BREAKING NEWS π¨
I have been informed that Clayton White has been relieved of his duties.
Shane Beamer is looking to bring back the early 2010's magic.
Current Chattanooga DC and former South Carolina DC, Lorenzo Ward, is the main target for DC.
It's a great day to be a Gamecock:
-Multiple football commits from instant impact players
-Beat Vandy in a close basketball game
-Landon Samson showed out at the All-American game
Love days like these!

Final game thoughts:
- Clayton White has turned his defense around when we needed it most.
- Dowell Loggains did the opposite
- Beamer better hit the portal big time with WRs and OL, or his days could be numbered
- I'm ready for the LaNorris Sellers era now
Reminder:
It took this staff 4 games to make Mario Anderson the starter AT RB.
It took this staff 8 games to make Nyck Harbor a starter at WR.
Both guys were playing behind former/current QB's.
Make that make sense.
This is my last time talking about this because it looks like some people are obsessed with what I got to say, so here ya go:
The people who keep bringing up what was said a year ago are the problem. The amount of gatekeeping in this community is insane. If you liked the hire or
Xavier Legette is literally the only player that wins us games. If XL isn't the best player on the field, we have no shot to win. Shout out to his development, but damn, he needs help.
What I have learned in the past 18 hours:
South Carolina fans don't want competition if it means their favorite isn't the guaranteed starter.
Make that make sense.
Give me as much talent as possible, and the best wins out.
Never take for granted the beauty of Founder's Park. As I watch random baseball games from around the country every day, I can tell you that most schools have baseball just to have it. They do the bare minimum.
Founder's Park is one of the best in the country. We are lucky.
BOOM!
South Carolina picks up an extremely interesting commitment from Tyler Causey! Causey played at UNC for the past 2 years, where he saw limited action due to injuries. Standing 6'6" 230lbs from Nation Ford, SC, he possesses an enormous amount of power in a smooth, leftyβ¦
Jordan Palmer just laid out why Satterfield shouldn't be a college OC. This is what we've been saying for over a year. This NFL offense is too complicated for the limited time the coaches have with the players. Simple is king in college. KEEP IT SIMPLE!!!!
FIREWORKS FOR KINGSTON AND STAFF!!!!
The
#3
player in the country for the 2024 class and former Mississippi State commit OF/1B PJ Morlando from Summerville High has committed to South Carolina!
To this day, this is the most nerve-racking sporting event I've ever experienced. Unbelievable performance by the entire team.
2011 College World Series Game 1
Hats off to Xavier Legette and Justin Stepp!
XL has always been a great athlete but would fall short as a WR every year. Instead of transferring out, he trusted Stepp and worked every day to get better. He has finally broken out as one of the best in the SEC.
Incredible!
The freshmen are killing it tonight!
Big Tree
Baugh
Sellers
Harbor
Russell
Kilgore
McLeod
Braswell
And many others have gotten in and done well. This class is SPECIAL!
Final Game Thoughts:
- LaNorris is perfect!
- This freshmen class is INSANE!
- We have a real OC in Loggains. A breath of fresh air! I love that he believes in the players and trust them to make plays.
- Time to work harder than ever in practice in the trenches for Georgia!
Shane Beamer just said that Harbor will be a WR with some TE work, but he isn't going to be blocking with his hand in the dirt!
Exactly what I wanted to hear! Let's go!!!!
Halftime thoughts:
-Lembo is a God
-Bell and JuJu need more touches
-Fire Satterfield after this game and let Freddie Kitchens take his spot. He would have 2 weeks against cupcakes to work out the kinks.
Josh Vann was criminally underutilized this season. Everytime he touched the ball he made something special happen. No matter who we bring in, we are going to miss Vann's elite playmaking ability.
Monte Lee turned down a job with the LA Dodgers to come back to South Carolina as the hitting coach and recruiting coordinator! Welcome back home,

Florida Gators cancels game 2 and game 3 versus St. Johns. They lost game 1 9-5.
Florida officially loses the series and gets swept by a basketball school. This will be reflected in my rankings.
Talmadge LeCroy has not only been the best player on the team but also one of the best in the country.
LeCroy's Team Stats:
1st BA
1st RISP
1st in R (T-1st in the country)
1st in OBP (20th in the country)
T-1st H
T-1st BB (T-5th in the country)
T-1st Slug%
T-2nd K
T-2nd HRβ¦
Let's break this down:
Play 1: Elite hard count from
@dylaneskew07
that forced
@matthew_becker1
to jump as offsides as I've ever seen someone jump.
Play 2: The
@davidcromer17
and
@VeachChris
duo at RB in the triple option is DEADLY. Thunder and Lighting right there.
Play 3:
To celebrate the Tennessee Vols Super Bowl win over South Carolina, AD Danny White has planned a parade this Saturday in place of the bye week.
The parade route will start at 3:00 pm on Volunteer Blvd & go down Cumberland Ave. Come out & support the team & their accomplishments.
Billy Amick leaving Clemson has now opened the door for Cam Cannarella to hop into the portal and play at his dream school:
The University of South Carolina
Back to back years the Coastal region has had the
#1
player in the country at the top βΌοΈ PJ Morlando headlines a loaded class with tons of impact bats/arms.
Wow, Tennessee has won their Super Bowl! I am so proud of what this team was able to accomplish after the historic 63-37 beatdown of last year.
Congrats, Heupel and the Volunteers!
Insane work Matt Williams has done with this staff as a 1st year coach and losing your top 5 pitchers, including the entire starting rotation to the MLB draft.
A perfect hire!
3 realistic defensive coordinators that South Carolina should pursue after firing Clayton White:
1. Joe Harasymiak (Rutgers) -Runs a 4-3. Nearly every defense he runs ends up in the top 10 in the country. Elite DC.
2. Bryant Haines (JMU)- See Joe but at a smaller school.

Tennessee fans say this wasn't their Super Bowl, but I'm still getting 20+ notifications every time I check this app. It's 12 pm, the next day, and yall are still going. I've never seen this for "the 6th most important game of the year." πππ
Insane how these kids ask for South Carolina commitment edits the day of their announcement and then pick another school. I have never seen anything like this.
