Here is more on the newest addition for readers of GamecockCentral.com:
South Carolina Gamecocks recruiter: Sterling Lucas
Other scholarship offers: Alabama, Florida State, Georgia, Michigan, Michigan State, Ole Miss, Virginia Tech
Why South Carolina? “I like Coach Beamer. He’s a cool dude. I like the things they do. I talk to almost the whole staff when I go there. Sometimes when I go there, (Coach Sterling Lucas) will pull up my film and he’ll already have it (showing) things that I do wrong, things I need to fix, and stuff like that.”
Scouting report from GamecockCentral.com: This long, athletic Palmetto State prospect has a lot of upside. There’s no doubt that Rhames will have to add more bulk and strength to hold up against the run at the next level, but the canvas that the South Carolina staff will have to work with is impressive. Rhames can run and has disruptive quickness off the EDGE. He even played inside some at the Shrine Bowl in certain packages and had a critical fourth and short run stop in the game. There’s a lot of pass-rushing potential here.

Here’s a message from Gamecock Central founder Brian Shoemaker:
Crazy Start
Gamecock Central was started as a hobby.
It immediately turned into an all-encompassing passion.
In late 1999, it became my full-time job.
Today, I remain the owner.
Pretty good for a guy who failed his first computer class at USC.
My family and I are extremely fortunate. My wife prefers to say we’re blessed.

Passion
The reason we exist separates us from other media outlets.
I had no thoughts of the site becoming a business.
The first attempt at generating revenue didn’t occur until 10 months after launch when ads were added.
Gamecock Central’s foundation — our roots, our basic DNA — will always be different than other sites.
Certainly, we have a bottom line, but there’s a bigger picture.
Professional Coverage
Of course, passion alone isn’t enough to satisfy our subscribers.
We have a tremendous team of insiders, analysts, and photographers.
They provide the most in-depth, accurate, and professional coverage of Gamecock sports and recruiting.
And we have The Insiders Forum. It’s where the most hardcore fans hang out and discuss the Gamecocks.
Some are positive, some are “realistic” and some probably yell too much, but they all love Carolina.
