Stephon Gilmore, former USC cornerback, signed a 4-year contract worth around $12 million with the Buffalo Bills today. Gilmore was selected in the first round and tenth overall by the Bills in the 2012 NFL Draft. In four practices during the Bills’ minicamp, Gilmore has recorded several pass break ups, one interception, and has made a good impression on Buffalo head coach, Chan Gailey. Chris Brown from Buffalobills.com spoke with Gilmore shortly after he signed.

Gilmore played three seasons with the Gamecocks recording 176 tackles, 14 tackles for loss, four forced fumbles, four fumble recoveries, seven sacks, and eight interceptions. Gilmore was a first-team All-SEC selection and third-team AP All-American following the 2010 season. In his final game at USC against Nebraska in the Capital One Bowl, Gilmore recorded an interception and returned a block PAT for two-point defensive conversion.

Doug Zaleski

Throughout the summer SportsTalk is taking a trip around the country to preview the opponents of both USC and Clemson for the 2012 football season.  For the 2nd game of the of the upcoming season, the Clemson Tigers will be welcoming the Ball State Cardinals to Memorial Stadium on September 8th.  Doug Zaleski, beat writer for the Star Press in Muncie Indiana joined us tonight for a couple of minutes to preview the Cardinals.

AUDIO:  Doug Zaleski [7:19]

Ball State hit the .500 mark right on the dot last year, going 6-6 in 2011.  Doug believes the Cardinals will be an improved team in 2012, especially on the offensive side of the ball.  The biggest concern for the Cardinals is the fact that even though their defense should be improved, they have such a long way to go, having given up over 40 points a game in 5 games last season.  Doug examines both sides of the ball for us in detail…

The South Carolina Radio Network and SportsTalk was on hand at the South Carolina Athletic Hall of Fame, and caught up with one of the most succesful USC head coaches ever. June Raines coached USC baseball from 1977-96, replacing Bobby Richardson, and finished his tenure as the program’s all-time winningest coach at the time with a 763-380-2 record in 20 years.  Tonight, Raines officially became a member of the South Carolina Athletic Hall of Fame.  Before the induction ceremony got underway tonight, Raines sat down with Phil to talk about the honor.

Raines took the Gamecocks to four College World Series (1977, ‘81, ’82 & ‘85), and finished as runner-up in 1977. Overall, he led Carolina to 11 NCAA tournaments and won four Regionals. He also had nine 40-win seasons and during the 1980s witnessed the program’s most successful run during his tenure as the Gamecocks made eight NCAA Tournaments, including seven straight from 1980-1986.
