The best sports talk in South Carolina. For 27 years.
On his way to Hoover, Alabama this afternoon, Phil Kornblut stopped in Aiken to do some work (play a round of golf….again) at the Palmetto Golf Club. While there, he sat down with Palmetto Amateur Publicity Director, Joe Spencer.
The Palmetto Amateur tees off Wednesday June 5 – Saturday June 8. Joe provides us with a detailed history of the event and the course, and also provides us with a list of recognizable amateur names that will be in attendance in a couple of weeks.
Chad Holbrook joins First Edition from Hoover.
Tuesday afternoon USC head baseball coach Chad Holbrook joined Kevin McCrarey and Bill Gunter on SportsTalk “First Edition” to set the scene from Hoover, Alabama the site for the SEC baseball tournament.
The Gamecocks will take on the winner of the Missouri/Mississippi State contest taking place late Tuesday night. Coach Holbrook shares how he plans on preparing for an unknown opponent, including his idea for his pitching rotation.
Coach Holbrook also discusses his thoughts on having practically a full slate of cards for the first time all year on the injury front, and if he believes that will help his team’s chances this week in Hoover. Furthermore he explains the differences in coaching philosophy at the SEC tournament compared to a regional, and much more.
Bill McDonald joins Sportstalk to discuss national championhip.
The USC men’s golf team just wrapped up their regional in Columbus, Ohio, finishing tied for second place, good enough to advance the Gamecocks to the championship round later this month in Atlanta at the Capital City Club.
Monday afternoon Gamecock head coach Bill McDonald joined Phil Kornblut and Bill Gunter on SportsTalk ”First Edition” on SportsRadio 560 TheTeam in Columbia to recap the regional in Columbus, and look ahead to Atlanta.
We’ve kept a close watch on Coach McDonald’s team since postseason play began, and now that the regional is over with, he tells us which of his players stood out in Columbus, and his formula for having a chance to win it all at the Capital City Club.
Coastal Carolina head coach Joe Moglia
Periodically throughout the Spring and Summer we’ve been checking in on the football teams from the schools around the state.
Tonight Coastal Carolina head coach Joe Moglia was kind enough to join us on SportsTalk to cue us in on what’s been going on with his Chanticleers this offseason.
We would be remiss if we didn’t provide our listeners with a dash of fiscal advice considering Coach Moglia’s success in the finance world. Phil tried his best to engineer a financial conversation and failed miserably, but Coach was cogent with his perspective nonetheless.
In terms of football, we talked the QB position, Coastal’s offensive firepower in general, the Chanticleers future in the Big South Conference, and much more.
Sidy Mohamed Djitte
This past Saturday Sidy Mohamed Djitte of Northwood Temple Academy in Fayetteville, North Carolina, pulled the trigger on a commitment to play his college ball at Clemson. The 6’10 big man was originally believed to be making his commitment some time in April, but the Tigers had to hold off for a couple of more weeks as Djitte made visits to Memphis and Cincinnati, before finally shutting it down and making the call for the orange and white. Tonight we had his high school coach, Chris Lattimer, on the program to talk about Clemson’s newest haul.
Coach Lattimer tells us that Sidy has made it official by sending in his LOI. He also gives us an idea as to how long he believes Djitte will take to develop and actually see the floor at Littlejohn Coliseum. Finally Lattimer describes his former big man’s attributes and gives us an idea as to what kind of player he believes Clemson will be getting in the future.
