S.C. Gamecocks 2023 off season

[SCspur]

SEC schedule. Playing Tennessee twice this year is… interesting.

Why can't we ever play unc at home?

I was also hoping we got a home game in the matchup especially considering SC has lead the nation in attendance the past 8 years. Carmichael arena is super small and congested and a game of that magnitude should definitely be in a bigger venue.

I should show up to that game wearing a Duke Shirt and a Clemson Cap.

Intimidation

Intimidation

I think so too lol but I really think this game should be moved to the Dean Center. It’s definitely going to sell out.

This can't be true can it?

This can't be true can it?

Wonder what happenend?

 

[Fowlball]

Wonder what happenend?

I guessing the competition was to hard that's why she waited so late to transfer?...

 

[Gamecockfan77]

This can't be true can it?

Why not?

 

[hoopsnloops32]

Why not?

Because she would have to sit out a year as the portal window is over. I do think it's true but the timing is unfortunate as its a terrible look for a program of South Carolina's stature to have a player leave the day before coaches deadlines to inform players whether they are getting their scholarships renewed. Whether or not thats what happened her its likely to raise some eyebrows around the country.

We have plenty of scholarships. It was the competition

Lol you’re the biggest troll ever. My goodness hahaha

Fulwiley happened.

Cooper wants to be a PG. Shes not getting that opportunity to be PG1 playing between Johnson and Fulwiley.

Not an issue here as 9 yrs ago USC was the first SEC school to guarantee full 4 yr scholarships.

Why not?

I hear you. Even though it was posted by Raoul, I was initially skeptical.

 

[GamecockFam]

It just appeared in The State, so it seems pretty official. Yeah, my completely uninformed guess is that she saw that the incoming guards (Lay, Paopao, Tessa) were going to pass her on the depth chart and prevent her from getting meaningful playing time. So she decided that if she was going to ride the bench that she would rather sit out a year at another university while she learns their system.

But shouldn’t she have seen it sooner? So she wouldn’t have to sit a year.

I didn't say thats what happened, I said its terrible timing. I do think it's a bad look to have a player transfer after the portal closes at the end of June, Cooper should have already know her place in the depth chart so not sure what changed to surprise her between when the portal was open and now. Its possible she knew but didn't believe it until she played with the new players herself, though she used to play with Fulwiley so not sure how big of surprise that would be?. Sad situation all around.

Dawn surely would have/should have told her this while the transfer portal was still open, no?

poa poa, lay and tessa. arrived like two weeks ago plus they just started summer workouts so other guard look better than she thought???

Well, Dawn doesn't guarantee minutes and she always tells everyone that they have to earn their minutes. There would be no way to verify how much playing time she would get until she starts comparing herself to her teammates during the summer workouts.

 

[GamecockFam]

With this news we're basically going to be two deep at every position with one woman "extra".

PG - R. Johnson, Paopao
SG - Fulwiley, T. Johnson
W - Hall, Kitts, Jah
F - Feagin, Watkins
C - Cardoso, Walker

Hall and Paopao will probably flex between SG and their normal positions when CDS wants more experience on the court and I see Jah getting cleanup minutes at wing and forward.

 

[cockhrnleghrn]

That should be a good one.

It’s not about guaranteeing minutes though. It is about giving a realistic look into the depth chart and where they should expect to fall without improving xy and z while they still have time to enter the portal in the window. It’s why most players transfer at that time… coaches let them know how likely they are to get minutes the following season based on who’s coming back and who’s coming in. South Carolina didn’t add anyone after the window closed so there shouldn’t have been any major surprises come summer.
