Offsides With Marc Ryan

If South Carolina can't turn the recruiting rankings and portal classes into wins none of it matters and we've seen when coaches leave, rosters crumble. How concerned is Chris Phillips that that could happen if South Carolina has another sub .500 season in 2024?

Gamecock fans are crowing about filling massive deficiencies that shouldn't exist on an SEC team with transfer portal players - is it deserved? Chris Phillips says every team on the come-up is trying to build the same way.

It's a foregone conclusion that the Panthers will draft a receiver or offensive lineman with their 2nd round pick, right? Jim Szoke, Panthers color analyst told Offsides to not bank on it and to not be surprised if they prioritize other positions.

For the second straight year South Carolina finds themselves above the blue chip ratio, a ratio that accurately predicts teams who can win the national championship (portal additions not included) and Beamer is loading up in the portal too. If this trend holds on paper the Gamecocks will be prepped to make a title push.

In one aspect schools are getting royally screwed by the transfer portal, and that is after investing hundreds of thousands of dollars into a player's development, health, and training that player can just leave. Diesel wants the school the player is transferring into to pay a buy out!
