South Carolina head coach Dawn Staley landed a historic new contract on Friday. We discuss just how big of a deal it is and how historic the numbers are not only for Women’s basketball but across all college sports. We also discuss what this means for the future of the athletic department being able to secure the best coach in the country. Another interesting aspect of the contract is that it solidifies an answer to a question we’ve had for a while. Is there a school in the country with four better head coaches in football, baseball, men’s basketball and women’s basketball? You can make the case South Carolina has the best staff overall in the entire country and Chris Marler explains why. Next we discuss the newest portal recruit as Penn State’s leading WR Harrison Wallace has South Carolina in his four favorites. Finally we preview the South Carolina-Oklahoma men’s basketball game Saturday and explain why it’s an absolute must win for the Court Cocks. Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOGamecocks?sid=YouTube Locked On College Conferences, HBCU, Basketball & More 🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnCollege  Follow on social media Twitter/X: @verndumbquist Twitter/X: @LockedOnSC Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100091552218542 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
