re: Gamecock fans, a question about your D.

Well, was Ellis just that much better or has the talent dropped that much?

Ellis was never as good as people wanted to believe, see what he did at Southern Miss and then Auburn, but he had incredible talent while he was here. Give him credit for being the main recruiter on several of those players though. But you or I could have coached Clowney, Gilmore, Ingram, Quarles, Taylor, Robertson, Holloman, Allen, etc. to a top 20 defense. The talent is light years behind where we were just a couple years ago.
