Why South Carolina? “It just clicked,” Russell said when he committed. “All of the other schools, there’s a lot of fakeness, they just put on a hat. These guys didn’t have to put on a hat, they were themselves and I liked that about them. They kept it real with me, they didn’t have to lie about nothing. They told me the truth.”
Scouting report from GamecockCentral: Russell likely went under recruited based on his high school production. In his first full-time year as a wide receiver, the Pennsylvania product put up huge numbers. He caught 61 passes, with 22 of them going for touchdowns, and accumulated over 1,300 receiving yards. He does not have elite size and will need to add weight and strength, but his production and playmaking ability is impressive. He looks best suited to play a slot role at the college level. Russell can really run, and that trait will be a welcomed addition to the receiver room.

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.
