Another USC signee gets picked

Catcher/third baseman Will Myers of High Point, N.C., was picked in the third round by the Kansas City Royals with the No. 91 selection overall. Myers was rated No. 31 nationally by Baseball America magazine.

USC signee gets drafted

No not Dyson but the Gilbert High shortstop and USC signee Chris Owings. Rated No. 84 nationally by Baseball America, the 5-foot-11, 170-pound infielder was chosen 41st by the Diamondbacks.

Now the question is will he sign or play for the Gamecocks?

Blake Mitchell where did you go?

The trials of Blake Mitchell continue...

You will recall that the SC Force signed former University of South Carolina QB Blake Mitchell for the 2009 season. But after starting the first two games, and losing the first and second.... Mitchell is no longer with the team. What happen and where did you go?

USC baseball gets some signees

Good news for USC baseball fans out there... 2 pitchers and a infielder are signing up to be a gamecock for 2010. Also pitcher/utility man Alex Satterfield out of Laurens Academy announced today that he wants to be a gamecock in 2011.

I welcome the help, especially pitchers, to getting USC on track to visit the CWS again in the near future.
