South Carolina is making some changes and this year, their coach Frank Martin will be more than likely starting a couple of his talented freshman along with his upper-classmen.
The Gamecocks enter this season with five newcomers, including McDonald's All-America selection P.J. Dozier. This marks the third year in his four at South Carolina that coach Frank Martin will have to blend a large group of young players with his veterans in a fight to get to the top of the Southeastern Conference.
"You guys have heard me say this before, 'Fans love freshmen. Coaches love upperclassmen,' " Martin said. "That doesn't mean that we dislike the freshmen, no. We think those guys are going to be great."
Martin is proud of how his returning players have shown the newer ones during summer workouts how things are done.
"When you couple that with a group of freshman that we think is the most talented that we've recruited, as a coach, you tend to sleep a little better," Martin said. "You're starting to have the ingredients you need to succeed."
