Takeaways from Thursday's media availability with South Carolina transfers

Rocket Sanders media availability | South Carolina

On Thursday, nearly two dozen South Carolina transfers met with the media for the first time as Gamecocks. GamecockCentral will be uploading a good amount of those interviews to our YouTube page both today and on Friday.

In the meantime, here’s a few takeaways from today:

– EDGE Gilber Edmond came across grateful after returning to play for South Carolina. He said things are going better than he expected and that the guys have welcomed him back with open arms

– RBs look at the loaded room as a chance to get better; didn’t want to shy away from competition because of who was coming in. Many of them have aspirations of playing at the next level and they felt like this will only bring out their best

– RB Rocket Sanders’ shoulder is feeling good. He’s not in a sling anymore and he’s making good progress from the injury that he sustained in his second to last game last season last year at Arkansas

– During the recruiting process, Rocket reached out to former Gamecocks TE Trey Knox to pick his brain about South Carolina. Having a chance to build a relationship with Knox during their time together in Arkansas, he deeply valued his input

– TE Brady Hunt is excited to work with coach Justin Stepp; believes he can help him take his route running to the next level. His ankle is feeling great, after it kept him from playing last year. Said it’s feeling close to 100 percent and that he’s starting to feel as good as he did the last time he played

– QB Robby Ashford didn’t want anything guaranteed to him. Has been impressed working with Dowell Loggains. Pointed out that it’s hard not to be excited after seeing the things Spencer Rattler did this past season and did this past week at the Senior Bowl

– OL Torricelli Simpkins shared that the coaches have told him they want him to compete for the center position but that they’ve also talked with him about cross training at guard. While a Preseason All-American center, Simpkins has played guard before. Played two games at guard last year

– RB Oscar Adaway is ready to compete. Wants to do whatever he can to help the team in order to get out onto the field. As much as he enjoys running the ball, he stressed how much pride he takes with pass blocking, knowing that it can help his chances to see more playing time

[Newsletters: Get breaking news and analysis from GamecockCentral]

– WR Jared Brown said that “WR” shouldn’t be next to his name but instead “ATH” because he feels like you can line him up anywhere on offense. At Coastal Carolina, he played both in the slot and out on the perimeter as a wide out but he also lined up in the backfield

– As excited as DB Gerald Kilgore is to play alongside his brother Jalon Kilgore, deciding to some to South Carolina was what he felt was best for him. Is excited to work with coach Torrian Gray because of the work he’s done with developing other defensive backs

Biden visits Columbia, thanks SC Democrats for 2020 primary support

COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) – Former President Joe Biden spoke Friday at the Columbia Art Museum in downtown Columbia at an event hosted by the South Carolina Democratic Party to honor his more than 50 years with the party and to mark his 2020 South Carolina Democratic primary victory.

Biden entered the South Carolina primary having lost Iowa, New Hampshire and Nevada. His win in the state gave his campaign momentum heading into the rest of the primary calendar.

“People in this room brought my campaign back from the brink — a lot of pundits, people in the press had given up on me,” Biden said.

Biden said South Carolina’s support was central to his path to the presidency.

“If I could just get to South Carolina I could win the nomination, and I knew if I won the nomination I’d win the presidency because I knew what Bill Clinton and Barack Obama knew before me — South Carolina picks presidents,” Biden said.

South Carolina Democratic Party Chair Christale Spain said Biden’s performance in the state went beyond a primary win.

“Biden didn’t just win, he delivered,” Spain said.

Rep. Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., whose endorsement of Biden ahead of the 2020 primary was a key moment in the campaign, attended the event. Clyburn praised Biden’s record of public service.

“There is no American ever who has demonstrated through his service more substance — and I might add sustenance — than Joseph Robinette Biden,” Clyburn said.

Biden also directed remarks at the current Trump administration and called on Democrats to turn out for November’s midterm elections to help flip the House or Senate.

“There’s no time to give up — it’s time to get up, get up, get up, continue to fight,” Biden said.

South Carolina Room at CCPL Main Library closes May 1 for 8-10 weeks

CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCIV) — Researchers and history buffs will soon have to plan around a temporary closure at the Charleston County Public Library’s Main Library as renovations approach.

The library’s South Carolina Room, located at the Main Library at 68 Calhoun St., will temporarily close to the public beginning May 1, as the building prepares for renovation later this year.

The South Carolina Room is expected to be unavailable for about eight to 10 weeks during the transition. During that time, services, collections and in-person research assistance will not be accessible.

The department will reopen to the public in a temporary location at 1248 Camp Road, though an official reopening date has not yet been announced.

The South Carolina Room is CCPL’s primary local history and genealogy research department. It preserves and provides access to materials documenting the history and people of Charleston County and South Carolina, including historical documents, maps, photographs, manuscripts, newspapers and other archival resources used for scholarly research, family history and community exploration.

BE THE FIRST TO COMMENT

CCPL said the temporary relocation will allow continued preservation of materials while renovations at the Main Library are underway. Updates on reopening timelines and services will be shared at ccpl.org and through the library’s official communication channels.
