Murphy Holloway Come On Home

So the report is out that Ole Miss player Murphy Holloway is transferring to be closer to his daughter and family. He could either go to Clemson or USC but because Ole Miss let some player go to LSU last year, the 2008 South Carolina Gatorade player of the year is most likely coming to Clemson. He had us in his final four with Tenn, USC, and Ole Miss and to sweeten the deal was recruited by Earl Grant at the time for Wichita State so we already have a good relationship with him.

The kid is 6'7" and is still somewhat raw with his offensive game. He averaged 10 points and 7 boards this past season but he is a pretty good rebounder, especially on the offensive end of the court. He is a pretty tough kid, good athleticism and would instantly help our front line--lessening the blow of missing out on Marcus Thornton. He would have been excellent in Purnell's system, averages 1.5 steals a game, pretty good defensively overall. He already has a lot of game experience and his rebounding would really be a bonus in Brownell's system. This is definitely some good news for our basketball team. Take a look below...

South Carolina is Officially the Poor Man's SC

The real SC, the University of Southern California just beat South Carolina in a lawsuit over the use of SC. USuCk will not be allowed to use the SC letters that they have on their baseball uniforms. So the Trojans beat the Cocks. Feel free to add whatever innuendo you desire...but really I just blame the guy who thought that a Gamecock would make a good mascot. Really? It does represent the pinnacle in illegal cockfighting and gambling--something any SC, whoops, USC, whoops--I guess USuCk graduate can aspire to. The lawyer for SoCal said "that the letters were more deservedly linked to the Trojans' warrior image than to "a goofy little chicken."

That is just classic. Seriously Clemson should just represent the state of South Carolina and not some jailbird coots. Someone get a local congressman on this asap.
