After South Carolina missed the NCAA Tournament in 2015, a top-10 recruiting class helped the Gamecocks reach a Super Regional the following year.
With USC missing out on the postseason again in 2017, Gamecocks coach Chad Holbrook said another group of talented newcomers can help the Gamecocks have another quick turnaround and reach the postseason and the College World Series next season.
South Carolina’s class is currently ranked No. 10 by Perfect Game and will be viewed as a success, as long as the Gamecocks don’t lose too many players to the MLB draft later this month.
