Thanks for joining us during last night’s edition of The CockTale Hour!

If you missed it, we’ve got you covered. Fresh off the bye week, Bill and Jay are bringing you everything you need to know ahead of South Carolina’s battle with Florida this weekend. We’re also diving deep into one of the biggest wins in program history to set the right tone for gameday.

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Playoff Players. Gamecock baseball produces quite a path to the MLB postseason! South Carolina is one of just eight schools in the nation to have at least three alumni on MLB playoff rosters this year.

🔼 Keep An Eye On Him. Xavier Legette’s strong play through South Carolina’s first five games has earned him a spot on two midseason watch lists. Legette landed on the 2023 Reese’s Senior Bowl Midseason All-America Team and the Pro Football Focus Midseason College Football All-Prospect Team. Legette has racked up 606 yards on 32 catches for an average of 18.9 yards per catch; he’s currently fourth in college football in receiving yards per game.

🔼 Iron Gamecocks. Your 2023-24 Iron Gamecocks for South Carolina women’s hoops are in! Ashlyn Watkins and MiLaysia Fulwiley earned the nod ahead of this season for their overall athleticism and performance in speed, power, strength, and conditioning metrics!

🔼 White Out. Coming out to Stone Stadium tonight for South Carolina men’s soccer’s huge clash against No. 7 West Virginia? Make sure you’re dressed for the white out! The first 1,000 fans in the stadium will get a free rally towel, while the first 400 students will receive a free T-shirt. Details here.
