South Carolina baseball is heating up at the right time! Let’s take a look back at where this season began.

🔼 Ranking Roundup. The new college baseball rankings are in, and South Carolina’s momentum is strong! The Gamecocks are up to No. 13 in this week’s D1 Baseball’s Top 25, check in at No. 16 in Baseball America’s rankings, and are No. 16 in the Perfect Game rankings.

In other Gamecock baseball news, Cole Messina earned SEC Player of the Week honors for the first time in his collegiate career! Messina went 9-for-14 last week, scoring seven runs off two doubles, a triple, three homers, two stolen bases, and 10 RBI in four games. On the year, Messina is hitting .316 with a team-leading 17 doubles in addition to 14 homers and 49 RBI.

🔼 Ready To Go. South Carolina men’s basketball announced transfer Jamarii Thomas is set to join the Garnet & Black, completing the team’s roster. Thomas, who earned 2024 MEAC Player of the Year honors, averaged 16.9 points, 3.8 boards, 3.8 assists, and 2.1 steals per game at Norfolk State.

🔼 The Greatest Decision In My Life. Kai Kroeger, South Carolina’s McWhorter Scholarship nominee, is looking ahead to life after football, and the star punter has big plans that don’t involve the gridiron. His goal? Joining the Secret Service. Here’s why.

🔼 Teed Off. South Carolina women’s golf closed out Day 1 of the NCAA Regional in second place at five over par heading into today’s second round. Louise Rydqvist finished the day tied at the top of the individual leaderboard at three under par. The Gamecocks will play a total of 54 holes at the NCAA Regional with the top five teams advancing to the NCAA Championship.
