I was listening to JJ Redick's pod the other day.
On it he had Zion and Ja and they touched on their AAU team the SC Hornets based in Cola

quote:

“We were the role players,” Williamson said. “What people don’t know is, it’s a dude that goes to Ole Miss now, Devontae Shuler. In South Carolina, he was the guy. I remember I used to play with him. I’m playing upper age group. I’m watching him play like, ‘Man this dude’s just going coast to coast, finishing, pulling up transition three like he’s (Steph) Curry. I’m like, ‘I’m just a ninth grader, nobody knows who I am.'”



the state has talent, we need someone to get it!

Losing Shuler to Ole Miss sucked. I knew we were screwed when he transferred from Irmo to Oak Hill.

South Carolina is the doldrums of college basketball. We have to face this fact. Not just us, but Clemson too. Before our run in 2017, we hadn't won a tournament game since 1973 or even been in it since 2004. And it doesn't help that we border the state that loves college basketball more than just about anywhere.

One of the big leaders of the African American community in Columbia is Senator Daryl Jackson. His son is a leader in aau baskerball and has actively pushed players away from the Gamecocks. He has admitted such.

This is the biggest thing IMO why we struggle to get these kids from SC. He's actively on twitter talking shite about us, plus he's a tater lover so idk if that relationship between us is ever going to change. No doubt about it though he pushes any big signee out of state & if it is in state its that orange team.

If he's a leader in AAU and his Daddy (yes I meant that to sound condescending) is a Senator. The easy way to handle him is to just dig up the dirt on him and get him out. These YBOA/AAU etc coaches and "leaders" are always getting under the table money to run these kids.

You don't understand the situation. Daryl Jackson is a senator but he is also the Pastor of the largest black church in Columbia. His church is huge with family life center, senior home, ect... including an apartment complex. Pastor Jackson is also a disciple of Jim Clyburn. The black community would never attack him nor his family not when he has control of your job, living arrangements and your connection to GOD. Is there dirt, of course there is and is talked about in back rooms, but it will never be used against him. Daryl Jackson is basically King of Lower Richland area. His son ( Who is a pos that doesn't take care of his multiple children by multiple women) is connected to that power and people will go to other colleges because they believe him and his family's power.

Next time your near WB stadium go down bluff to Atlas rd. Everything in the 1st couple of blocks is Owned by Bible Way Church.

You familiar with racial politics in SC? My hometown of Conway dealt with this a little over 30 years ago. The black QB was replaced with a white QB (who as of today has won multiple titles as the head coach of MBHS). The blacks got the NAACP involved, the head of which (also a pastor) was a local rabblerouser. He urged the blacks to boycott the team, which they did, and turned a QB competition into a year-long civil rights protest.

As SOS said, there comes a point when things get so hot nobody touches it. Daryl Jackson could kill a man in the Lower Richland area and nobody would cooperate, because he holds that much sway over people. The center of the black community is the church. And we're not just talking religion. It's the political center and the economic center as well.

There is no bigger power in the black community of Columbia than Bible Way of Atlas Road. If the Jackson boy tells you not to go to USC you don't.

You guys are funny, I was one of these kids ran by one of these guys 22 years ago. All it takes is is someone to start tugging strings until someone not happy decides to talk. In my case the coach pushing us for pay died. His baby Momma stopped getting her checks and started running her mouth.

As for the Conway racial Myrtle Beach head coach fiasco. Yeah that sounds about par for the course out there. I believe they had another similar flair up not long ago

Well good luck. Go show us how it's done since you think you can take down the Jackson family ( and yes I was laughing as I posted this). You have absolutely no idea what you're dealing with which is why you would get crushed.

Just curious what town were you in 22 years ago?

I hate to say this but when SC basketball whether it be men’s or women’s has been its best, it pulled players from up north.

Yes you have a few SC stars that played Ex. Aja Wilson. Alex English

But both Mcguire and Dawn had/have the relationships to pull the best the north has to offer, and that was the difference

This is factually incorrect.


Actually since McGuire our most successful basketball seasons our team was led by stars from this state. Martins inability to secure commitments from instate players have led to his downfall. Our FF team was led by instate players.

The womens program turned the corner with instate players.

This is the thing that's holding him back. The talent that has gone else where from instate is ridiculous.

BJ McKie - Irmo HS
Melvin Watson - Burke HS
Larry Davis- Denmark-Olar HS
William Gallman - Chester HS
Herbert Lee Davis - Georgetown HS

And then you had Ryan Stack from TN. I still can't believe that team lost to Coppin State.
