What gives?
How many listed in the latter three quotes were scholarship guys? Appears as if at least 6 scholarship players have already abandoned ship since the end of the regular season. Is that accurate?
Seems to be a lot of inexperience on offense. Scary thin at WR. Starting QB, RB and FB gone. One of the TEs gone. Two starting OL gone.
quote:
Junior wide receivers K.J. Brent and Kane Whitehurst each decided to leave the team.
quote:
The early departures of Brent, Whitehurst and Shaq Roland (who left the team prior to the Independence Bowl) mean the Gamecocks will have no more than two wide receivers who caught a pass in 2014 on the 2015 roster. Leading receiver Pharoh Cooper, 69 catches, will be joined by Shamier Jeffery, who had two catches last year.

Shaq Roland – left team before bowl game

Grant Davitte, Stephen Petty, Jonas Price, Kyle Morini, Gerald Turner, Garrett Shank, Na’Ty Rodgers, Caleb Hines, Drew Owens, Michael Washington – left team in-season

Deon Green, Zack Cimaglia, Kaiwan Lewis, Mason Harris, Andrew Bunch, Kane Whitehurst, K.J. Brent – left team postseason

I wonder if they have a sticky on their board related to SCAR players jumping ship?

I like how that implies how Brent and Whitehurst were somehow giving us big production. Brent had 7 whole catches last year whereas Whitehurts only had 4.
Sorry dawgs, this won't hurt us as much as you're hoping for. Especially since it'll be making room for recruits.

Had a ton of potential but 1) never played and 2) couldn't stay out of the doghouse
quote:
Drew Owens
Never got any playing time behind Busta and Adams
quote:
Deon Green
Buried on the depth chart on a loaded with DTs
quote:
Kaiwan Lewis
Lost his starting job to a younger and better player. Hes graduated already so hes transferring to get PT his senior year
quote:
Mason Harris
Not athletic enough for LB, not big enough for DE. He was a tweener project that didn't pan out and with the DEs we have coming in he knows he won't get any more PT
Not a single one of those players is a significant loss.

So you lost 8 scholarship players or did I miss count? Any of the besides Roland worth a shite?

We suck. Why do you care so much? 
I thought UGA wasn't worried about us?

So what in gathering is that 6 players have walked away since the Clemskn game? And 3 prior to that? Those are eye opening numbers.
As for making room for the recruiting class, surely you jest. Seems like a combination of Spurrier's lack of commitment to recruiting, a certain comment he made and failure to upgrade the defensive staff has led to a class in the bottom half of the SEC this cycle, no?

Maybe CIYE can start & sticky one for his own school like the one he did for UGA on the SCe board...He can title it...
I bet currently the cacks lead UGA...

None of those guys contributed except Roland a little, and he is a quitter. List of scrubs basically.

When will it stop though? We haven't even hit February yet. I'd say it's wishful thinking to believe at least a couple more won't be jumping ship between now and kickoff.

Lol get real none of those guys played except Roland and his impact on offense was minimal

This is what a Decline looks like. USC is the real team on the decline not LSU.

Their program dying is EASILY the biggest story we aren't talking about this offseason.

I don't find it to be a laughing matter. Appears as if attrition has put you in the position of relying on a porous D to carry an inexperienced O that is a Pharoah Cooper injury away from running the Wild Cock with Brandon Wilds.
