After losing six seniors, includ- 1
ing four starters, to graduation, the 1
South Carolina men's basketball
team needed a quick infusion of J
talent. {
Head coach Steve Newton
signed six players to national let- ;
tcrs of intent to install that talent.
"Our focus was to bring in a balance
of high school seniors and
transfers who can give us immediate
help," Newton said. "Our focus
was on offense and guard play, as
; well as improving our depth. We '
have a solid foundation, but to be
pffpplivp in thr> ^mifhpQCtPrn Pr*n.
ference you need 10 to 14 solid
players."
Percy Eberhart and Norm
Greene each signed with the
Gamecocks during the early signing
period, and recently South Carolina
has received commitments i
from Cortez Barnes, Shannon Hoskins,
Waide Franklin and Terry
Bynum.
Barnes, a 6-foot-7, 205-pound
forward, has played his last two
seasons at Hutchinson Community
College in Hutchinson, Kan. Last
season, he netted 14.8 points per
game, while pulling down six
boards a contest in leading Hutchinson
to a 27-7 record and a berth
in the finals of the Region VI

The Winthrop Eagles upset the
Gamecock baseball team, 6-5,
when sophomore pitcher Steve
Kolbert threw a wild pitch to allow
the winning run in the 10th inning.
The game was nothing less than
sloppy.
The Eagles commited five errors,
struck out 13 times, made a
wild pitch while attempting an in.
tentional walk and gave up six
extra-base hits out of South Carolina's
first seven hits.
They also let the potential win
nmg run rcacn iniru wun one out
in the eigth.
"They tried to give it to us, and
we refused to take it," South Carolina
coach June Raines told The
State newspaper. Winthrop ]
made five errors and didn't play 1
real good defense, Raines said.
The Gamecocks earned three doubles,
two triples, a home run and '
I five runs.
While the Gamecocks hit well
and the Eagles played poor de- 1
fense, Carolina left many players 1
on base. "It's hard to win that J
way, Kaines saiu.
The Gamecocks, 26-15, got the
tying run to second base in the ;
bottom of the 10th when junior 1
pinch hitter Joe Biernat beat out an
infield hit and advanced on a wild 1
pitch. However, senior catcher '
