We're not giving Donati enough credit.
Dude went out and got us a proven OC in Kendal Briles and absolutely nailed it with landing Kevin Schnall.
Donati has had more attractive hires in 8 months then Tanner has had in 12 years.
FINAL (7) | No. 4 Arkansas: 22, South Carolina: 6
This is now the sixth time USC has been run ruled under Paul Mainieri. Third time USC has given up 20+ runs in a game under Mainieri. Six straight losses.
Game 2 on Saturday at 4 pm on SECN+.
South Carolina Baseball under Paul Mainieri is now 7-34 against power conference competition, 6-28 vs the SEC.
The worst this program has been in my lifetime… I was born in late 1976.
This despite…
-A top 10 baseball operating budget nationally.
-A top half in the SEC (at least) NIL budget that was increased significantly year over year.
-A mostly new roster and a lineup that was supposed to be the strength.
Beyond the wins and losses
-Founders Park is way, way empty for the first time ever
-The state of SC is loaded with baseball talent and a double digit number of those players are heading to power conference programs the Gamecocks have to compete against.
-It’s interesting that some of the pitching has been better and some has been elite and the catcher is calling the pitches this year, the only coaching type change that was made after last season.
Baseball folks, is there hope? Is this “just baseball” … seems that either the recruiting coordinator (Terry Rooney) whiffed on double digit players in the portal or they aren’t being coached for success. But you folks that know the game well… what do you think?
South Carolina Football in a summary…
1. Defense. With the departure of of the drafted players, the talent drop is significant.
2. Offensive Line. Unbelievably bad. I understand injuries. Still just bad.
3. Offense. No cohesiveness. No rhythm. Trash!
4. Penalties.
5. Trash
"They screwed this up and they only have themselves to blame here."
@MaggieGray thinks Deion Sanders hurt Shedeur Sanders' draft stock by saying he would pick his son's destination, but @andrewperloff says it's much bigger than just that
