Gamecocks 2024-25 Season: Part One

[SCGamecock]

I'm going to say this as delicately as possible; I love the University of South Carolina and I love the city of Columbia, but the state of SC is mired in the past and its reputation is such in other parts of the country.

I was trying to avoid saying this.

As someone that’s now lived in New England, the West Coast, and the upper Midwest.. this is it.

That said, USC needs to hire the PR firms that LSU and UT-Austin are using because both are in states with politics that are in water far murkier than SC’s.

We've done well in the midwest for quite a while now, so Tessa J. is really a continuation of that.

I think Adhel's recruitment + signing can potentially go a long way as far as SC getting talent from Texas on westward.

I think the biggest hurdle for SC getting talent from California now is the sudden resurrection of USC (+UCLA). Juju would've been at SC had USC decided to continue being a middling program.

Even when SoCal was down- we were missing on Cali kids like Destiny Littleton .

Who knows? At the same time has it hampered South Carolina?

The talent lately has come from west of the Mississippi. We cant have a void this big longterm recruiting.
