Gamecock Central: David Cloninger posts Martin should return most of team. The good news is that Anthony Gill and Damontre Harris have expressly denied having requested a release. Yet. The bad news, however, is that both told Cloninger in so many words that they are weighing their options - which means it's still a possibility we could lose one or both of them. Apparently, neither appears to have talked to Coach Martin yet - and I have a good feeling that Martin will be able to convince them to stay. Let's hope so, at least.

SI.com: Congratulations to the NCAA Men's Basketball National Champion University of Kentucky Wildcats. The SEC now simultaneously holds the national titles in basketball, football and baseball. Has that ever happened before?
Mr. SEC: John Pennington breaks down the SEC's dominance in the three main men's sports - SEC Looking To Continue Major Sports Dominance. With the 'Cats win last night, the SEC has garnered 12 titles out of a possible 21 since 2006; no other conference has more than two combined titles in these sports.

The Daily Gamecock: The undergrads have some April Fool's Day Fake Edition fun. Check out the Steven Garcia mask on the last page (which NBC Sport's Ben Kercheval thinks is "creeptastic"). Perhaps the mask would have come in handy at the Carolina Cup this past Saturday, after Kershaw County deputies made 225 underage drinking arrests at the infield of Camden's famous College Park.
