More USC players drafted

Some more Gamecocks get the MLB nod:

University of South Carolina junior left-hander Will Atwood of Greenville was drafted Friday by the Washington Nationals and was the 361st player selected in the draft.

USC catcher and designated hitter Phil Disher was selected in the 15th round by the Houston Astros, the 452nd player drafted.

Former USC pitcher Nick Fuller, who was kicked off the team in March 2007 after being charged with grand larceny and burglary, was picked in the 25th round by the Atlanta Braves.

Then in the 26th round USC signee, Justin Dalles, was selected by the Toronto Blue Jays. Dalles is a catcher from St. Petersburg Junior College whom coach Ray Tanner feared would sign if he were picked in the top 10 rounds.....so you are telling me there is a chance?

The Gamecocks also were waiting on pitchers Adam Westmoreland (Brookland-Cayce High) and Matt Price (Sumter) and outfielder Adam Matthews (White Knoll).
