One Streak Comes to an End, Another continues

The Streak is Over



The Gamecocks saw their  22 game post season winning streak snapped Monday night in Omaha to the hands of SEC foe, Arkansas. USC battled, but fell short to the Razorbacks 2-1 in front of a 20,000 plus crowd. The Gamecocks now head to the losers side of the bracket and will face Kent St, who sent Florida packing in the first game of the afternoon on Monday. Arkansas now 2-0 has the privilege of sitting out the next two days and preparing for their next game, which, with a win, could send them to the best-of-three finals series.






Daniel High School Delivers yet again!

Clemson continued its string of players out of nearby Daniel High School in Central, SC (see Jarvis Jenkins, DeAndre (Nuk) Hopkins) this past weekend when it picked up a commitment from RB Jae'lon Oglesby who becomes the 4th member of the 2014 class. His offensive line coach Jamie Wilson told TigerNet, he is versatile, "able to play at running back, defensive back, receiver, or safety...he can play. Its in his blood, he's got that grit." Oglesby chose Clemson over interest from South Carolina, Penn State, Alabama, Maryland, Virginia Tech and Norte Dame. As a sophomore for the Daniel Lions, he rushed for 1,750 yards, 28 TD's and averaged over 8 yards per carry. Great pickup for the Tigers!


He will have the luxury of running behind 2013 class member Maverick Morris (bottom right) a 6-5, 290 pound OL from Georgia who committed after attending camp last week. Morris, who had drawn interest from FSU was set to attend their upcoming camp as well but has since declined on those plans following his verbal to Clemson. The Tigers also picked up another member of the 2013 class in 4 start DE Elijah Daniel. Ranked as high as #4 DE in the nation, he will be yet another great addition to Venables' defense. A HUGE, HUGE, week past week of commitments for Coach Swinney and company. The future continues to look bright in Tigertown. The much needed improvements to the defense are being made and the pieces to the puzzle of winning a BCS bowl are coming together quite nicely for Clemson. Good days are ahead and I'm excited to see how Venables transforms this defense and brings back the "hit you in the mouth" defense Clemson built its history on.
