Eric Smith transfers to … wait for it
Eric Smith, a point guard from Mullins and a USC commitment, has transferred from Mullins High to Christ School in Arden, N.C. Smith’s father Stephen confirmed the news Monday.
Malik Cooke
The Malik Cooke story is one of those strange, you-never-know ones. You can spend all the time on the road recruiting, doing all your research and legwork – and then one day a proven player walks in the office and says he’d like to join your team.
If only it were always that easy.
Now Cooke isn’t [...]
Demetra on his new job, and replacing Morgan
Andy Demetra’s first job out of college was at South Carolina. Now, so is his first big-time job.
Scrimmage notes (8/22)
For the final scrimmage of the fall, at least the last full-go one, another round of good, not-so-good, observations and all that good stuff you’ve come to know and expect for as long as we’ve been doing this. (A full week now.)
Spurrier at the Touchdown Club
As we were leaving Seawell’s on Thursday afternoon, Steve Spurrier looked at me, flashed that broad grin and asked, “Did I give you enough to write about?” Well, I guess I’ll let the wonderful readers of the blog judge that.
The highlights from Spurrier’s appearance at the Columbia Touchdown Club:

Scrimmage observations
Once again, the good, the not-so-good and just the general observations from Wednesday night’s scrimmage:
Ru-dy! Ru-dy! (APR! APR!)
Anytime a walk-on is given a scholarship, it’s a great story. You imagine the hard-working, perhaps athletically-challenged player walking into a coach’s office, worried about what he’s about to be told, then hearing the words: “Son, how’d you like a free ride?”
It’s sort of like Rudy- except Rudy wasn’t put on scholarship.
These days, more and [...]
Baseball draft deadline update(d)
This should be one of the less stressful signing deadlines in recent years for South Carolina’s baseball program. At least for those of us who remember burning up the phone lines two years ago trying to find out what Wynn Pelzer would do, only to find out at 2 a.m. that he had signed with [...]
