Here's a blurb from the Times-Georgian that indicates that JSU's two signees from Carrolltom may have the opportunity to play more than football for the Gamecocks:
"Teague noted that both Barge and Telvin Brown will have an opportunity to be two-sport athletes at Jacksonville State.
“The coaches at Jacksonville State have told [Barge] and Telvin that if they want to try out for the basketball team when they get there, that they will allow them to try out for the basketball team,” Teague said. “But it is totally a football scholarship.”

Gamecocks Add Kicker Gilley
Gadsden City High School kicker Paul Gilley will be joining the Gamecocks as a preferred walk on. Here is a blurb from gtpreps.com about Gilley:
Gilley was a two-year starter for the Titans, and even though he will be walking on with the Gamecocks, he expects to compete for the kicking job.
“I plan to go there and take care of business,” Gilley said. “I want to go kick. Hopefully it will be a good experience for me.”
Gilley said that his junior year he was consistent from 40-yards in and that his range has grown to about 47-yards.
“He’s been a solid kicker for us and has gotten stronger and stronger,” Billingsley said. “He’ll do well at Jacksonville State.”

Maurice Bennett to Ole Miss
The only signing day disappointment we were aware of is Maurice Bennett. Apparently, he is headed to Ole Miss on a gray shirt deal. Good luck to Bennett.
Robert Coleman #79 2012 Highlight Tape
Not 100% positive this is the Coleman that JSU signed, but I hope it is. He's a big, nasty fellow.

Here is a link to an updated list. A few new guys. Still hoping for Maurice Bennett, defensive lineman from Mississippi.

Who We Are Missing
If you are checking in, it appears that the Gamecocks have not secured LOI's yet from 3 or 4 of their big targets:
Troymaine Pope- committed to JSU several times;
Nick Johnson- a highly regarded lineman out of Dadeville that Andrew Bone of Scout.com raved about.
Ladarious Rodgers- big time running back out of Leeds, but we think its almost a sure thing that he is coming.
Maurice Bennett- a 3 Star defensive lineman from Mississippi that originally looked like he was headed to Washington State.
