South Carolina has a huge week of recruiting for the 2027 class. Shane Beamer and company are in line for several BIG time OL prospects including 5 Star Max Hiller out of PA and Nate Carson from Irmo. The Gamecocks have been busy all over the country recruiting the 2027 class this week ahead of their big Underclassmen weekend in Columbia. Plus, burying the lede, but if South Carolina spent as much as we think they did THIS year on LaNorris Sellers, Dylan Stewart, Nyck Harbor, and Jacarrius Peak...then ALL of that money is freed up after this year when they leave. Could South Carolina be one of the biggest players in the NIL market place for 2027??

In this episode of the podcast, we break down why LaNorris Sellers is positioned to thrive in Year One under new offensive coordinator Kendal Briles and why history strongly supports that belief.Briles has a proven track record of maximizing mobile quarterbacks early in their development, and Sellers’ skill set fits the system almost perfectly. We dive into how Briles’ tempo, spacing concepts, QB run usage, and simplified reads can unlock Sellers’ playmaking ability immediately in Columbia.To support the case, we look at real examples from Briles’ past:D'Eriq King at Houston Cougars, where Briles helped turn King into one of the most explosive dual-threat quarterbacks in the countryFelipe Franks at Arkansas Razorbacks, where Briles rebuilt Franks’ confidence and production in a quarterback-friendly systemWe explain why Sellers may be better equipped than both when it comes to arm talent, physicality, and long-term upside — and why South Carolina’s offense could look dramatically different from Day 1.Plus, we close the episode with a brief but important segment on South Carolina men’s basketball, discussing why the seat may be heating up for Lamont Paris and whether the program could be approaching a crossroads after another difficult stretch.If you’re a South Carolina fan, SEC football junkie, or someone tracking quarterback development across college football, this episode is a must-watch.🎙️ Subscribe for more SEC breakdowns, roster analysis, and coaching impact discussions👍 Like, comment, and tell us if you believe LaNorris Sellers is ready to take off in 2026#LaNorrisSellers #SouthCarolinaFootball #KendalBriles #SECFootball #CollegeFootballPodcast #Gamecocks #QBDevelopment #SouthCarolinaBasketballJOIN THE EVERYDAYER CLUBhttps://lockedongamecocks.supercast.com/Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOGamecocks?sid=YouTubeLocked On College Conferences, HBCU, Basketball & More🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnCollege Follow on social mediaTwitter/X: @vern_funquistTwitter/X: @LockedOnSCFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100091552218542 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
