Life After The Diamond. We love catching up with our former Gamecocks and we're doing just that on this week's all-new episode of Gamecock Talk as we sit down with South Carolina baseball standout Andrew Eyster!

Eyster batted an impressive .301 with 35 home runs and 139 RBI in the Garnet & Black, and 53 of those RBIs came during his final season. Now he's filling us in on what he's been up to since he hung up his cleats at the end of the 2022 campaign!

• Coach Beamer's message for Cam

• The moment Cam got the call

• "Smith is a great value here because he’s another big, physical, aggressive corner in this class who should have gone much earlier. Grade: A" - The Sporting News

• "This is a battle-tested, feisty, ballhawk who can man up on the perimeter. Athletic and strong. A bit surprised this was a CB given their depth there, but Smith is a stud." - CBSSports.com

🔼 Dreams Come True. With the draft wrapped up, free agent signings moved quickly! Wide receiver Josh Vann will stay close to home, signing with the Carolina Panthers, and tight end Nate Adkins is on his way out west to the Denver Broncos. Meanwhile, offensive lineman Eric Douglas will head to Tampa for a mini-camp tryout with the Bucs. Check out the full live tracker here.

​🔼 Diamond In The Desert. Christian Walker picked up where he left off last season over the first month of his 2023 campaign. Walker went 2-for-5 with two RBI on Friday in the Diamondbacks' opening game of the series against the Rockies, then delivered a 3-for-5 performance game on Saturday that included his fourth homer of the season. Heading into Sunday's slate, Walker's 19 RBI on the year has him tied for 22nd in all of MLB.

​🔼 Tipping The Scales. Gamecock baseball picked up an 8-7 win in the series finale against Auburn on Sunday afternoon. South Carolina got a three-run homer from Will Tippett in the seventh inning that tipped the scales in the Gamecocks' favor.

Next up? The Gamecocks hit the road to take on Winthrop on Wednesday at 6 p.m. ET on ESPN+ before traveling to Lexington for a three-game weekend series against Kentucky.

​🔼 Angels On The Field. Savannah McCaskill has had quite a career since hanging up her Garnet & Black cleats. The women's soccer pro was the second overall draft pick in the 2018 NWSL Draft and finished her first year in the league as the runner-up for NWSL Rookie of the Year. Now with Angel City FC since 2021, McCaskill is thinking about the legacy she wants to leave on the field every day.

🎉 TRIVIA ANSWER

Answer: 2017

In 2017, Jessica Elliot had a no-hitter against Winthrop. The last time the Gamecocks no-hit an SEC opponent? 2002 against Florida. Gobourne becomes the fifth Gamecock to post a no-hitter in conference play.

Have a good week, y'all.
