What a month it’s been in Columbia! With four new faces at the helm of four different programs, there are a lot of folks to get to know. On this edition of The CockTale Hour, we'll take a look at the additions of Paul Mainieri, Ashley Chastain, Carol Gwin, and Rob Bradley.

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Go Down In History. Regardless of where the future takes him, Cole Messina will forever be remembered as a legend in the Garnet & Black. GamecockCentral’s Jack Veltri examines Messina’s legacy in Columbia so far, writing: “When it’s all set and done, Messina should go down as one of the greatest to ever play baseball for South Carolina. There’s a rich history of tradition and players in Columbia. But it’s hard not to argue Messina belongs in the same conversation as the other big names that have gotten the program to where it is today.”

🔼 Upset City. June has been great to Paul Jubb! The former Gamecock men’s tennis star just notched his third top-100 upset of the month, this time beating Maximilian Marterer, 6-1, 6-2, at the Mallorca Championships.

🔼 On Repeat. Once again, A’ja Wilson is your WNBA Western Conference Player of the Week after averaging 26.5 points, 12.5 boards, 3.0 steals, and 2.0 blocks per game, all while shooting 57% from the field. It’s the 18th time in her career that Wilson has been named Western Conference Player of the Week.

🔼 More Mental Than Physical. South Carolina’s Ahmarean Brown is working hard to make his NFL dreams come true. The former Gamecock wide receiver talked recently about his transition to the NFL so far:

“I can’t lie to you, the first couple of weeks whooo,” Brown recently said. “It was rough because they throw so much at you. They don’t expect you to learn it right away but us as competitors and as rookies, we don’t want to go out and mess things up. Your first impression is your best impression so for me, I was studying literally until I went to sleep… I know this game is more mental than physical so I’ve just been trying to find my routine of how to handle things.”
