Will Muschamp reeled in another prized recruit Friday, as the Gamecocks picked up a commitment from four-star defensive end M.J. Webb. Webb took to Twitter to announce the news, posting pictures with some coaches, including Muschamp, who had been recruiting the Georgia native while coaching at Auburn in 2015.
A weak South Carolina secondary got weaker Wednesday, as it was reported that starting cornerback Rico McWilliams is taking a "leave of absence" from the program.
The addition of safety Hamsah Nasirildeen has helped change the complexion of South Carolina's 2017 recruiting class. Coach Will Muschamp had steadily been building a deep and versatile class, but Nasirldeen's commitment Tuesday gave the group a signature prospect to complement its breadth of talent.
When the South Carolina football team opened fall practice, all the focus was on the quarterback battle involving Perry Orth and Brandon McIlwain. However, in the first two weeks of camp, the running back position has taken center stage, as junior David Williams has lost whatever edge he had on redshirt freshman AJ Turner.
Columbia gamedays are an event that almost all South Carolina fans rally around. For those getting ready to experience their first football game, get ready for a day unlike any other. Most southern schools have their own unique and special traditions, and South Carolina is no different.
One of the deepest positions on the depth chart for the South Carolina football team thinned out earlier in the spring when it was announced that 2015's leading tackler Skai Moore would miss the entire 2016 season with an injury. Despite Moore's absence, the Gamecocks have the talent at the linebacker position to still make it one of their strengths this fall. Let's take a look at the players who will be major contributors at linebacker this season.
At the end of every SEC Media Days, the projected order of finish for the conference's upcoming season is released, sending football fans into a frenzy. Let's take a breath for a second.
Each year, SEC Media Days bring fans a number of different things to look forward to. The most important part comes at the very end when we see how the assembled media think the SEC will play out in the coming year.
First-year head coach Will Muschamp closed out SEC Media Days with confidence despite ambiguity Thursday. Three players joined Muschamp on the trip to Hoover, Alabama: wide receiver Deebo Samuel, offensive tackle Mason Zandi and defender Marquavius Lewis.
Bringing in defensive guru Will Muschamp as the head guy in Columbia is expected to do wonders for South Carolina's defense as soon as 2016. While the Gamecocks don't have the raw talent that Coach Boom had at Florida, there are plenty of playmakers who can make a positive impact.
While the majority of the offensive focus is generally on the skill positions, battles in the trenches are the foundation for moving the ball down the field. Let's take a look at the potential starting five up front for South Carolina this season.
Offensive weapons were hard to come by for the South Carolina football team in 2015, and there is a cloud of uncertainty at the skill positions yet again this season. No receiver returns for 2016 with more than 12 receptions, while the leading returner in terms of rushing yardage is quarterback Lorenzo Nunez, who is not expected to be used under center much in 2016. There will be plenty of new faces in prominent roles in the Gamecock offense this fall, so let's get to know a little more about some of the players tasked with rejuvenating one of the SEC's worst offenses.
Will Muschamp and the Gamecocks missed out on a big transfer this week, as it was reported Thursday night that former Florida defensive back J.C. Jackson would not be enrolling at South Carolina. Jackson was a member of Muschamp's 2014 recruiting class in Gainesville, and he was strongly considering reuniting with his former coach, but he will not come to Columbia because of "a ruling that's beyond South Carolina's control."
Alabama football players Cam Robinson and Hootie Jones found themselves on the receiving end of good news Monday, when it was announced that neither player would face charges stemming from their May arrests. This decision makes sense because it wasn't a serious crime or anything ... Oh wait, Robinson and Jones were found in a car near a park, police discovered marijuana in that car and Robinson was looking at a felony count of possession of a stolen firearm.
With South Carolina's 2016 baseball season over, Gamecock fans won't see their teams take action in one of the three major sports until September, when the football team will take on the Vanderbilt Commodores. Join me as I break down the potential starting quarterbacks on a six-week series that will preview the key players on Will Muschamp's squad for the upcoming season.
This past April saw three former Gamecock football players get selected in the 2016 NFL Draft. The first Gamecock off the board was wide receiver Pharoh Cooper. He was drafted by the recently relocated Los Angeles Rams with the 19th pick of the fourth round. Later, the New York Jets selected offensive tackle Brandon Shell with the 19th pick of the fifth round. Finally, the New York Giants selected tight end Jerell Adams with the ninth pick of the sixth round.
The world of sports tends to focus on wins, titles and records, as well it should, as athletes work tirelessly to perform at the highest level, searching to climb the figurative mountaintop that is a championship. However, there are times where the narratives our athletes write command a different sort of attention, such as when Jason Collins opened the door for homosexuality in professional sports. On Thursday in Waco, Texas, Baylor University called our attention to one of those occasions.
As June nears, we are rapidly approaching the worst part of the year for sports fans: The seemingly infinite stretch between the conclusion of the NBA Finals and the start of college football. Not content with the MLB regular season that seems to drag on and on, many of us turn to offseason storylines in football to keep us entertained. So for those of you who, like me, want to talk about football — particularly South Carolina football — all day, every day, I have great news for you: 100 days from today, Will Muschamp will lead the new-look Gamecocks onto the field for the first time. That may seem like a long way away, but it's not too far off to start talking football in Columbia.

Wednesday, the Philadelphia Eagles joined the Los Angeles Rams and became the second team in the last week to ship out a pile of current and future draft picks in order to move up to the top two picks, presumably to get one of the top quarterbacks in this year's class. California's Jared Goff and North Dakota State's Carson Wentz are considered to be the cream of the crop this year, and neither has emerged as the consensus top choice.
