Are you nuts?It is likely a long shot, but I hope Murray Boyles is offered a Name Image Likeness that he cannot refuse and returns to South Carolina next season. One of the most dominant Gamecock basketball player in South Carolina history. I can see one day constructing a Statue Of Collin Murray Boyles at the Colonial Life Arena

JBJ
Tom Owens is the poster man for retired jerseys, but the way USC handled McGuire's "retirement" alienated many who played for him. Owens would not come back, even at Dave Odom's behest 20 years ago.
JBJ was the 4th best player on those baseball teams behind Walker, Roth, and Price.
Not sure I agree. Some of this is marketing. I know some may not agree but if A. Wilson wasn't a great pro, we likely wouldn't see a statue. JBJ was a great player here. A world series MVP and one of the all-time great defensive outfielder in MLB. Unfortunately he struggled at the plate. They missed the marketing opportunity for JBJ now that he is out of the league.
Yep, if we're talking success at Carolina and MLB then Walker would be the guy. He's become one of the best first basemen in baseball over the past 5 years or so. Hit 30+ homers in multiple seasons and has multiple gold gloves. JBJ won a gold glove but just wasn't much of a hitter in the bigs unfortunately. But was he a Carolina legend? Most definitely.
Can't argue with that. It wasn't quick and easy for him in the league but he finally received the big contract.
Looks like CMB will be taking his talents to the NBA.It is likely a long shot, but I hope Murray Boyles is offered a Name Image Likeness that he cannot refuse and returns to South Carolina next season.

I agree that CMB is a really good player. He likely has a solid NBA future.It is likely a long shot, but I hope Murray Boyles is offered a Name Image Likeness that he cannot refuse and returns to South Carolina next season.

I think professional success has to be irrelevant to the conversation of how to honor a player at USC. What matters here is what the player did here, not what he did when he left.
Why come back to this crap? It's a tacky program that plays in meh arena and is coached by a guy who wasn't always competitive in the Southern Conf.
I'm afraid I'm not feelin' it.It is likely a long shot, but I hope Murray Boyles is offered a Name Image Likeness that he cannot refuse and returns to South Carolina next season.

John Roche would be my first pick...he destroyed the ACC at Carolina Coliseum (though not CLA) in the late 60s!
I pine for the 8-member ACC we left. But that ship sailed with poaching the Big East 20 years ago and adding members from the west coast.
Yeah, no. He seems like a good kid and he's been a very good player but no where near statue-worthy. That's for national player of the year type folks. You don't "cheapen" it by doing so with someone like CMB. Aliyah Boston needs a statue - national player of the year with as many if not more accolades than A'ja Wilson (who was also national player of the year). We did a statue for George Rogers (Heisman), so now it's time for Boston and Kip Bouknight (National Player of the Year - Golden Spikes Award winner) to get one. That should be the standard IMOIt is likely a long shot, but I hope Murray Boyles is offered a Name Image Likeness that he cannot refuse and returns to South Carolina next season.

College players, in any sport, shouldn't get statues. It is sort of embarrassing that we have a statue of a former player who ended up being arrested on drug charges. I'm fine with statues of coaches who win multiple championships and have long and successful careers.
That statue was put up decades after the drug charges and years after that former player turned his life around. That former player is one of the most visible and involved former players in Gamecock athletics today.
Are you his agent or Daddy??It is likely a long shot, but I hope Murray Boyles is offered a Name Image Likeness that he cannot refuse and returns to South Carolina next season.
