[Spur]

#2 - Sharpe
#38 - Rogers

ext...

[DutchForkDillon]

7 Hold

12 Grantz

37 Wadiak

[Spur]

how about #7, I hope Beecher will get it, who do you guys think will get it, will it be a coin toss, I think Cade may want it as well, don't know for sure though

Thats another topic.

This is for past players.

[Sheri]

#1 - Anthony Wright

[RoosterBooster]

Let's get some defense on that team, how about
#27 Brad Edwards
#98 Kevin Hendrix
#45 James Seawright
#97 Ricky Hagood
#24 Bobby Bryant
#25 Rick Sanford
#11 Rashad Faison

And we must give #31 to DeBoer.

I might also pick Ira Hillary to wear #1, I think AW was a great player, but under utilized as a Gamecock by the Clemsux Doughboy.

[khosk]

#38 Rogers
#27 Edwards

The above are locks.


Was Mackie #1?

[gamecockdeke]

I think I have to give the nod to Harold Green as our best #22.

[USCKEN]

[PaulSercer]

#1 - Anthony Wright
Sorry man....#1 goes to either Ira Hillary or Ryan Bethea

[USCya]

Good list though - one heck of a site you have there Sigma.

I concur Sercer (Welcome to the site BTW) I woud see that #4 will be changing Rice soon as well.

[sigma804]

Thanks. I waffled between the three (Hillary, Wright, and Bethea). I think Bethea was the most physically talented of the 3. I agree that another year like this past one and Sid will be the #4.

[uscgamecocks09]

I woud see that #4 will be changing Rice soon as well.

Amen... i cant believe he wasnt there already...but i can see him moving there

[SangareeCrew]

Some people think that troy W was the best #82.....

I've got to go with #82 BRIAN SCOTT for that one....did MUCH more in the Gamecock uniform.

And IRA HILLARY for #1. Hands down. :beer:

[SangareeCrew]

And you gotta love that #31- Thomas Dendy!!!:football:

[jabrahamfan94]

91 John Stamper
95.. the one and the only... John Abraham

[oburg]

glad to see #43 Dickey Harris on there.

The one thing that propels Scott over Troy is that he stayed all 4 years to play. If Troy would have stayed he would have been it by a long shot. But Scott did much more, including leaping over Thornton in '01 at UGA to put us ahead.

[Cuck Flemson]

I like #11 - Rashad Faison he was such a treat to watch on the defensive side of the ball. He gave the Gamecocks 110% everytime he played!

:thumbsup:

[cockyhoskins ♂]

Great list sigma!

[Sea Bass]

#1 has to be Hillary

[rock23aj]

Id have to go with Duce Staley over Troy Hambrick for #19 as well.

[morgan n' 7™]

4 - Andrew Pitchko, RB
I didn't notice this originaly sigma. Looks like you were fighting between David Pitchko and Andrew Pinnock. Funny thing is, I was debating between those very two players myself(as far as former players).

[gotrice?]

#21 Ryan Brewer

[theuscerock]

I like #11 - Rashad Faison he was such a treat to watch on the defensive side of the ball. He gave the Gamecocks 110% everytime he played!

:thumbsup:

I agree and plus he was a great friend and study partner
I used to keep in touch with him, but have not heard from him since last summer.

[theuscerock]

I would have to say #68- Travelle Wharton

ill have to give #22 to watson

[gamecockfootball09]

#89 - Tim "Pops" Frisby....hands down

[Love Boat Captain]

Sorry man....#1 goes to either Ira Hillary or Ryan Bethea


Ryan Bethea was and is the best player to ever wear the #1. In fact, if Ryan had not made soooo many bad decisions as a teenager while at USC we would be talking about him as one of the greatest of all times regardless of number.

I know potential can sometimes be a dirty word when speaking about athletes but Ryan's was limitless.

I know potential can sometimes be a dirty word when speaking about athletes but Ryan's was limitless. I agree. Bathea could have been one of the best...college or pro.

:football:

[curious1]

Excellent choices for #1, however, I think the "Captain" will leave this hallowed ground with that distinction....now, #3 Cory Boyd or Thad Rowe....Cory gets my vote!:football:

[gripitandripit2007]

Oh that's easy!! #38 GEORGE ROGERS!! Only Heisman trophy winner to come out of SC!! He is the greatest!

[Cocks#1]

WHO IS GONNA GET NO.34,I GOT RICE'S JERSEY.

[brat]

#43 - Dickie Harris. All American. Led the nation in return yards one year, ran punts and KO's for TD's. One of the only people I ever watched who everyone thought would take it the whole way each time the touched the ball.

Heck of a DB, too, as few threw in his area.

[Rice Rice Baby]

4-sidney

[GAMECOCKEXPRESS]

#29-Running back Gene Wilson. Captain of the 1953 Gamecocks. That's my Dad, what would you expect :bow:

I don't think the thread is about potential, but rather about what they ACTUALLY did. He was not the greatest to wear #1 based on his total production.
