Recruiting coordinator Sammy Esposito is on the hunt for junior college players who can come in and help next year offensively. He recently went to see power-hitting first baseman Ross Grosvenor of Walter State, who is hitting .408 this season with 11 home runs and 58 RBIs. He has more walks (22) than strikeouts (20). The Gamecocks have not offered at this point but he’s someone to keep an eye on.
That sounds way too much like a staff that needs to find players already developed by other programs to bring games that they themselves are incapable of teaching to what are typically near top-10 rated recruiting classes. Coach Tanner believed in the JUCO route, but only to shore up positions of need where the existing talent was thin at. I thought we were bringing in top caliber prep talent for most of those positions...

Another player that South Carolina is going hard after is outfielder Dom Thompson-Williams of Iowa Western. Recruiting coordinator Sammy Esposito scouted him just over a week ago now and is trying to get him down for an official visit soon. At this point, I’m not sure which weekend that will be. The Gamecocks are likely the favorites right now for Thompson-Williams, who was an all-state football player and Gatorade Player of the Year in Iowa.
Thompson-Williams is hitting .360 this year and only has nine strikeouts in 97 plate appearances. He has three doubles, three triples and a pair of home runs.
