Here is more on the newest addition for readers of GamecockCentral.com:
South Carolina Gamecocks recruiter: Jimmy Lindsey
Other scholarship offers: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, LSU, Miami, Michigan, Texas A&M
Why South Carolina? “A big part of my decision was staying home. I think coach Shane Beamer is going to do great things at South Carolina. It is a school close to home with great coaches and location did factor into my commitment.”
Scouting report from GamecockCentral.com: Why has McLeod been so heavily pursued by some of the top schools in the country? There just simply aren’t a ton of guys in the country who can hold down the middle with his combination of size and speed. The upside here is tremendous.

About GamecockCentral.com

But that hasn’t always been the case.
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.
