Will South Carolina run it back and go undefeated in 2024-25?

[jumpstart]

Why I said at the moment.

The portal is going to crown a preseason favorite that isn't SC, I think.

Deja Kelly at LSU would be interesting but I do wonder if she's looking to get off point.

Although honestly, UNC was a good situation.

Now wait a minute. How does another team bring in that much talent on and the bench and starters from the portal? You didn't think that statement through. There is no team that's going to be that loaded with transfers. What team is going to get better talent up and down the roster? I don't see that happening. LSU learned last year that it doesn't always work out. They were the "super team" and they lost right out of the gate. Continuity is a much stronger argument.

Who was picked at the start of the season?

Who was picked at the start of the season?

That will not happen again. South Carolina lost all 5 starters and if you think that all of those had another year that LSU, UCONN or any other team would have been picked ahead of them at the start of last season? No, they would not have been. This team had question marks and now has no question marks like they did entering next season. Nice try but your argument falls flat...

They had many close games:
-UNC game was within 2 points in the last 4 minutes
-Utah game was within 2 in the last 3 minutes
-1st LSU game was tied in final 2 minutes
-SEC Tennessee game was a buzzer beater 3 to win
-Indiana was a 2 point game in the last minute

Every game they played this season was tied at some point......

 

[ConwayGmck]

Could depend on their SEC Schedule. With the addition of Texas and Oklahoma, how many schools will they play twice, and possibly three times depending on the tournament.
If all goes according to plan, as of today, beating Texas 3 times might be tough.

It's Vic Schaefer......

It's Vic Schaefer......

There is precedent for it. Ha.

 

[cockhrnleghrn]

Texas would seem to be biggest obstacle.

At the moment Tennessee and LSU seem to be going backwards.

I wonder if Vic is going to have his wife talk to me before the Texas game next year, if they play in Columbia. "Vic, we meet again. I bet you thought you were done with us when you left State."

Nah.. He knew they were coming when he took the Longhorn job
