🔼 Gamecocks On GameDay. ESPN’s College GameDay Built by The Home Depot is Charlotte-bound to feature the Week 1 Battle of the Carolinas! The last time College GameDay appeared at a game featuring South Carolina came in 2014 when the Gamecocks hosted Missouri. Watch the full reveal and get yourself extra pumped for kick-off here.
🔼 Signed, Sealed, Delivered. Nyckoles Harbor’s NIL stock is hot as the South Carolina freshman has signed two deals over the last week. Harbor’s first deal came in a partnership with Ovation for Men Sport and his second is with Beats by Dre. More on the deals here.
🔼 Gamecocks In The WNBA. What are some of your favorite Gamecocks up to after the midway point of the WNBA season? Let’s dive in.
Allisha Gray continues to shine for the Dream, scoring 12, 18, and 17 points in the team’s last three games. In 22 games this season, she’s averaging close to 18 points per game. Meanwhile, Aliyah Boston is averaging 14.8 points and 8.0 boards per game through the first 22 games of her career with no signs of slowing down.
A’ja Wilson keeps on doing A’ja Wilson things - she scored 23 then 35 points in the Aces’ two most recent games and is averaging 20.5 points and 9.8 rebounds per game this season. Tiffany Mitchell retook the court this week after spraining her wrist and saw time in three games for the Lynx after her injury.
🔼 More Joy. Get ready for more Dakereon Joyner! Coach Beamer said he expects Joyner “to be a huge part of [the offense]” going forward and is excited about the versatility the wide receiver brings.
“He embodies everything being a Gamecock is about. He’s a fantastic leader and representative of our program. He’s literally done everything on our team in his career.”

Jay Feltz and Chris Norman are tied for the longest punt in school history since 1979 with 80-yard boots against Clemson in 1979 and Miami (Ohio) in 1983, respectively.
