it's too hard to get elite talent to USCjr.


Why do you think this? USC was pretty damn good at basketball in the Frank McGuire days. Its in the middle of Columbia surrounded by Charlotte, Charleston, Greenville, and Atlanta. Odd sentiment considering your team in the middle of nowhere.

We border North Carolina. If we keep winning, things could change. But for right now those schools in NC will get who they want.

Exactly. Agreed.

Plus, McGuire's legacy lives on in this state. We produce a lot of big time talent. Problem has been that it's been going out of state, mostly UNC and the ACC, for years. (Seventh Woods recently, et al)

Martin has a good eye for talent. If he can keep the big time players home and recruit the 250 mile radius around Columbia plus keep the Lithuanian railroad open and running, he'll be very successful.

He also has some really strong ties to the very talent rich Miami area.
