New USC basketball coach Frank Martin Thursday picked up the first two pieces of rebuilding project with the Gamecocks.  Martin received a commitment from 6-5 Thaddeus Hall of Brooklyn, NY and signed 6-8 Minda Kacinas of Lithuania.  He attends a school in Wichita, KS.

Hall emerged this season as one of the top prep scorers in New York City averaging over 35 points per game.  He picked USC over offers from Virginia Tech, St. Johns, Maryland and West Virginia.  Hall has never visited USC but plans to do so in May after he takes the SAT for the first time.  He does have family in Charleston.

Kacinas averaged 26 points and 15 rebounds per game for Word of Life Academy in Wichita where he was recruited by Martin while he was at Kansas State.  Kacinas made 43 percent of his three pointers and was an 80% shooter from the line last season.

Hall and Kacinas join 6-8 November signee Tyrone Haughton in USC’s 2012 class, and Martin has three more scholarships to work with this spring.

Steve Spurrier is not happy with his offense in spring practice

By: Rixon Lane

Steve Spurrier has never been shy about expressing his thoughts when it comes to his quarterbacks.

As the Gamecocks continue spring practice, the Head Ball Coach is far from pleased with his passing game. Spurrier has referred to the Gamecocks’ passing attack as “sad,” “pitful,” and “sorry” in the past week.

 AUDIO:  Steve Spurrier [4:52]

The Gamecocks are hoping the passing game will take some of the pressure off the rushing attack, which has carried the offense at times during the past few seasons. Spurrier did say that the running backs have had a solid spring thus far.

AUDIO: Lorenzo Ward [2:05]

In injury news, Shamier Jeffrey will be out for the rest of spring practice with a meniscus tear and Cedrick Cooper has a back strain.

AUDIO: Kelcy Quarles [7:38]

South Carolina has four practices remaining before the Garnet & Black spring game on April 14th at Williams-Brice Stadium.
