We are getting close to the 2025-2026 season, and with nothing better to do I've decided to take a look at who we are up against. In order of worst to best last year.
South Carolina Gamecocks 2025–26
2024–25
Overall: 12–20 • SEC: 2–16
Key Additions for 2025–26
Transfers:
Freshmen / Recruits:
South Carolina was the worst team in the SEC last year and may be again. But they do have a crazy transfer story. Meechie Johnson originally went to Ohio St, transferred to South Carolina where he was second team all sec. transferred back to ohio st last year, and now is back again.... Transfer whiplash. I want to see him explain that one.
Jon Rothstein from this site says they will still be bottom tier, but still better than last year. that isn't saying much. I'll just be watching to see how Meechie does.
