Assistant Coach Mark Byington handled the BCS this week!


Blackie and I took in the Bobby Cremins Show tonight since we were both without Valentine's Day Sweethearts. (I know, woe is me oh chilren of Charleston.) Coach Cremins was snowed-in while on a recruiting trip this week, so Asst. Coach Mark Byington filled in for Coach this week. Our old friend from the Dawg Pound, Everett German joined him at the Sports Desk at George's for Valentine's Day.

Coach Byington did a great job filling in for Coach Cremins. We did have a chat afterwards because of his remarks about going in to the paint when the parameter shot wasn't falling, because we all know, that wasn't the case during the Davidson game. Coach Byington did give us good news about Marcus and also some of the recruiting he and Coach Cremins are doing in the South East. I am not going into specifics because I don't want the competition to smell blood and start circling like sharks. But I will say this, if you are a young recruit with D-1 talent outside of Charlotte or Atlanta, you should put the College of Charleston high on your list.

Sure you can go to solid programs such as Davidson, but if you have a bad day, there isn't a King Street to stroll down and check out the bevy of female talent like Charleston has, nor is there a close proximity to the beaches. And let us not forget the competitive advantages a College of Charleston degree gives you in today's market place. As well as the exposure you will get on the CofC Sports Fan (from yours truly) and the support you get from one of the most informed, loyal fan bases of those wearing Maroon! If you have what it takes, by all means, come for a visit and if you make the cut, you can not play for a legend, but you can have the chance to become one as well.
