Alshon Jeffery cleared to play.
The big story I'm hearing today is that Alshon Jeffery has been cleared to play ball for Carolina. He received a high enough score on his last SAT, but we were still waiting on a summer class grade that was expected to come out this week. It seems that he has passed everything he needs to be cleared. Also, he will begin his career as a Gamecock by taking classes in Summer II, so he will be on campus to begin working with the team on Sunday.
This is great news for Carolina. Alshon has the physical skills to begin contributing this season. There has been some questions about how we would replace Kenney. While this does not answer that question. It will provide some very useful depth.
As for the Kenney question..... My personal belief is that while he is a special kind of talent, everyone had the same question when Sidney Rice left and Kenney was a virtual unknown on the roster. We may not be able to replace his talent level, but we'll be fine.

This is great news. He might not have the impact of an A.J. Green right away, but he is definitely key for building some talented depth at the position. That said, I wouldn’t be surprised at all to see him on the field against State.

I think he'll quickly become part of the rotation...
Barnes and Brown will be the go-to guys, but Jeffery is too talented not to have out there on the field.
