The adjustments these guys (TCU) have made over the course of one time through the order is outstanding.
Credit to Schlossnagle's bunch, incredibly well coached.

Why do you even swing at a curveball is my question if you're Florida? If the ump is calling those balls then don't even swing at it.

Can't stand inconsistent umps. Makes absolutely zero sense.
This ump will not call a curveball down the middle a strike. Unbelievable

Umpire with an absolutely giant strike zone to start off the top of the 1st for Kowar as he strikes out the side and he looked absolutely dominant.

They aren't as good as last year but they're still 10-15 points better than the 2nd best team in basketball.
We're all just playing for 2nd place unfortunately

Knowing us we'll probably beat Georgia soundly then lose to Arkansas on the road soundly.
That's just the way our season has worked out.

Pretty sure Muschamp is trying to win back the state from Clemson by offering kids all around the state.
Clemson's recruiting nationally and with Bentley on the staff they are probably trying to make this "South Carolina's" team and state. This will also help them get closer to the high school coaches in the state.
It's a process but this could be huge for us in about 2-4 years. Especially if T-Rob makes inroads on Clemson's territories in South Florida and B-Mac does his work in Georgia and in Tampa.

If you watch the Gamecock Confidentials (you really should)
Holbrook says to the players before the first series, I think it's in episode 4 that this is the first year where he doesn't think we have holes in the team.
Due to our start I'm prone to believe him, but let's wait until this weekend to start judging this team.

Tyasha Harris would fit that mold perfectly for us, 5-10 guard who's in the Tiffany Mitchell mold. Could be a PG/SG hybrid for us.
Plus we're bringing in a 5 star point guard in Araion Bradshaw and a 4 star Stretch 4 in Mikiah Harrigan.
Even though our depth is a bit worrying, I wouldn't be surprised if we bring in 1-2 more guards

Pretty sure if Widener or Webb struggle in the upcoming weekends you'll see Adam Hill potentially get a chance in the weekend rotation.
He's been far too dominant over his past 2 starts to not get a thought of being in that rotation.
I guess the great thing is that it looks like we might actually have depth in the weekend rotation this year. With the way Hill has been pitching, it looks like we can potentially count on 4 guys during the season.

I'd like to reiterate what I said on January 31st regarding Adam Hill after his peformance so far today.
9 Strikeouts in 5 shutout innings so far in his first start against Appalachian State
quote:
3rd starter is up in the air right now, watch out for Adam Hill who could get a shot in the rotation, he pitched pretty well on Saturday.

Braden Webb is going to be an absolute stud. He struck out 7 in three innings on Friday.
We should have a great 1,2 punch with Schmidt and Webb at the top of our rotation. 3rd starter is up in the air right now, watch out for Adam Hill who could get a shot in the rotation, he pitched pretty well on Saturday.
Mcilwain's 2 home runs on Saturday were really just high fly balls that looked like they would drop just before the warning track but just kept carrying. It's almost shocking he's hitting so well because he just got here in early January but he's such a special athlete that I guess it really doesn't matter. He's still having freshman at bats though, so he'll have some frustrating moments at the plate but he'll outgrow those. He's way too talented not to.
The roatation in 2017 should be absurd with Crowe (hopefully) coming back with Schmidt, Webb and Cody Morris (who's an absolute stud as well).
Rotation wise and talent wise there is no way we shouldn't make at least the super regionals/CWS in 2017.

Fournette's the best running back, but Mccaffrey is the best player in college football. Affects the game as a runner, reciever and as a returner. An all around offensive weapon.
So I'll take Mccaffrey but it's a hard choice over LF7 because he's such a great running back.
Henry's great too but I feel like he's at his best going downhill and isn't as great creating something when there isn't anything there.

Homer pick I know, but Skai Moore's probably the best all around defensive player in the SEC.
2nd in the SEC in tackles and 2nd in the SEC in Interceptions.
Someone who needs to be mentioned is Kentrell Brothers who leads the SEC with 91

Yeah Durkin's the guy I wasn't really sure about, that's why he's at 4. But he's very much a high risk high reward guy if we were going to go with a coordinator. Plus with Michigan's unbelievable improvement on defense you have to believe that Durkin's a large part of that.
I'd be worried if we hired him but he just seems like he's going to be a great HC one day. (just a hunch)

1. Justin Fuente - the record speaks for itself. Young, good recruiter, a truly great coach. Makes way too much sense for where we are as a program right now for us to go after Fuente with his track record at Memphis. He honestly makes all the sense in the world and should be Tanner's first phone call
2. Tom Herman - guy is going to be a star, you can see how Ohio State is struggling without him there (even though I fear he wouldn't stay long and would jump for the next really big job).
3. Kirby Smart - Saban coaching tree has usually worked bar Muschamp and Derek Dooley (ugh). Young, tireless recruiter, great connections in the south. The main thing here would be to surround him with a great staff mainly a great OC
4. D.J. Durkin - He's a great DC and if set him up with a good OC and I think we'd be set. Main/Massive worry is a lack of head coaching experience and only a few years as a coordinator

If not him, go after Tom Herman, guy is going to be a star, you can see how Ohio State is struggling without him there (even though I fear he wouldn't stay long and would jump for the next really big job).
If those 2 fail then I'd go get Kirby Smart and surround him with a great staff
Maybe go with D.J. Durkin (his defenses speak for themselves) get him a good OC and we're set
The last thing we need is D'Antonio especially with his health issues
For all out fun PJ Fleck (Western Michigan) would be the most entertaining coach in CFB if we're looking for pure entertainment/energy value (and following Spurrier we'd have the entertainment category locked up). Plus he's young and can really recruit (super high risk/potential reward)
This is a rebuilding job, with great facilities and untapped recruiting ground in North Carolina (need to make this a focus), Virginia, and GA and Florida with a stellar 2018 in state class on the way

This is a really homer response, but if Marcus Lattimore had stayed healthy he could have been in that pantheon. Dude was pretty much unstoppable his sophomore year before his first knee injury.
1st team all SEC his freshman year, SEC Freshman of the year, Natl. Fresh of the year.
One of the biggest cases of what if in CFB history.

Posted by A Gamecock on 4/3/15 at 11:06 pm to Snakebucket
I'm worried due to the sloppiness of our play but I'm not freaking out yet, especially when a lot of our contributors are freshmen and sophomores.
If we're struggling like this 2-3 years down the road....
But luckily the class that are freshmen now was the #4 class in the country, 2015 is currently #7 in the country and 2016 is #1 in the country according to Perfect Game.
So the young talent is there.
The lack of success this season I think boils down to us losing 3 of our best hitters and 2 from the middle of our lineup, Joey Pankake, Grayson Greiner and Tanner English. Also timely hitting and errors
I think it really boils down to our failure in the 2012 recruiting class, where we only have 2 contributors from that class in Jack Wynkoop and Max Schrock.
Give Holbrook some time and I think he will get it together. But right now....this isn't a fun season.
