PrintGamecocks Football Recruiting: Kelvin Rainey Commits | LOHD
Flounder reports on Carolina's successful recruitment of Kelvin Rainey. Rainey is a four-star prospect who is considered one of the nation's top TEs. Rainey's commitment has been lost in the swirl of attention the baseball team has been receiving, but make no mistake: this is big deal for Carolina football. Rainey could easily be a guy who has the kind of impact that Jared Cook and Weslye Saunders had at Carolina.
Gamecocks Football Recruiting: Mason Zandi Commits | LOHD
Flounder reports on Carolina's successful recruitment of Mason Zandi. Zandi is a two-star OL prospect. He's a huge kid at 6'9 / 275. Although not currently a highly sought-after prospect, you have to think that with some time in the weight room, Zandi could easily get up to 325 or so. Sounds like a potentially solid OT to me.

Gamecock Anthem columnist Ryan Bethea was on hand at the Gamecocks' 2011 national championship parade. Look inside for high-quality images as thousands of Gamecocks lined the streets leading up to the State House.
Oregon’s overpriced ‘scout’ hangs Chip Kelly out to dry - Dr. Saturday - NCAAF Blog - Yahoo! Sports
Matt Hinton discusses the current allegations of serious recruiting violations against Oregon and Chip Kelly. Based on the facts that we now have, I'd say Oregon is in quite a bit of a mess. With the concurrent investigation at Auburn, could it be possible that both participants in last year's title game could see their wins vacated?
Matt Hinton looks at the aftermath of the finding of negligence and wrongful death in the case against George O'Leary's treatment of late UCF runningback Ereck Plancher. UCF intends to appeal the decision, meaning we'll probably have to wait a little longer to learn of the ultimate outcome of this case, as well as of the fate of O'Leary, whose job will be in jeopardy if the appeal doesn't hold up.

A few things about the parade...
1. What was up with that national anthem? I didn’t catch her name…but wow, it was the most self-indulgent, masturbatory version of the song I’ve ever heard. This woman was far more concerned with putting her vocal chops on display than she was honoring the country. It was awkward and embarrassing.
2. Really great of the town to put out all those free posters for fans.
3. Did anyone else hear what Christian Walker said at the end of his time at the podium? Something along the lines of, “Don’t get on us when we don’t play like you want us to next year.” Uh…do you think that’s what he meant to say? It was sort of an ominous quote to leave the crowd with. I’m going to assume he was dirt tired, and was trying to get at something but it didn’t quite come out how he wanted it to.
4. For the next national championship celebration, the town should work on pushing the stage audio a bit. I only say this because you had to be pretty darn close to the stage to make out what anyone was saying. Therefore, a bulk of the crowd cleared out during the speeches, and by the time they played the alma mater, the crowd was really thin.
Anyway despite all that, it was a pretty joyous experience. I’m still trying to wrap my skull around all this. The University of South Carolina Gamecocks are back to back champions. Man is it fun to write that.

Yeah, I think Christian didn't quite mean/want it to come out that way
but that is the joy of being a sophomore who are, by their nature, sophomoric. :~).
They wore garnet helmets.
Im sure he was just throwing in a little humor
he wasnt saying, dont expect much from us next year. Hes not one of those guys who does alot of public speeches, so you have to give them some wiggle room.
Great Post & Courier Article on Scott Wingo
by Travis Haney that goes into further detail about how Tanner worked with Wingo instead of cutting him off, freezing him out or asking him to leave.
Love him or hate him, Haney has been killing it this week.
They wore garnet helmets.
Great article.
Does anyone hate Haney, btw? I know some of the message board crowd get riled up anytime someone says anything negative about Carolina, but Haney is not a Gamecocks homer and it’s not his job to blow smoke up our you-know-whats. I think he does a great job, generally, and he’s definitely on his game most of all while covering college baseball.

I was thinking the same thing haha
when Haney said he wasnt a gamecock fan on twitter, I was shocked, I thought he was.
I'm trying to recall the details, but I seem to remember that there was an issue with him releasing potentially sensitive information about the football team. Maybe about a recruit? Like announcing Clowney's decision before the fact?
I could be thinking about Kornblut, of course, who does that sort of thing all the time to the chagrin of both Carolina and Clemson fans. Anyways, I like Haney, like I said. Very clearheaded guy.

Yea, but almost every media type
was declaring Clowney had committed to Carolina before his televised decision.

Yeah, that's true. Maybe it was something else.
