Bryce Harper's rooting interest.

Don Giovanni · 02-05-2013, 03:19 PM

It seems like I remember seeing a couple of tweets from Bryce Harper during or after the Outback Bowl that were very pro Gamecock. That got me wondering: Since Bryan Harper played here, is Bryce a fan of the yardcocks?

ConwayGamecock · 02-05-2013, 03:32 PM

Isn't everyone?

Oh, nevermind then.......

eaglegolf018 · 02-05-2013, 04:55 PM

Well his brother played here

wilbert G willigers · 02-05-2013, 05:14 PM

I would assume so. I'm sure he no die-hard or anything, but wouldn't you casually pull for a team if your brother played on it?

On a side note, I feel like it would be completely illegal in the eyes of the NCAA, but wouldn't it be something if we could have Bryce attend a prospect camp, mass recruiting visit, or something? That kid is building a bigtime brand for himself, much in the way that guys like RGIII, Cam Newton, Derek Jeter, Josh Hamilton, etc have

Bryce has no connection to us other than Bryan playing here. We don't need him for recruiting purposes. He could offer nothing about what it's like to be part of the Gamecock Nation.

High school baseball players across the country cream their jeans at the very mention of Bryce Harper. He is seen as a god by young baseball players all over. That being said, I get your point. He wouldn't be very useful when it comes to relating to the university

USCBatgirl21 · 02-05-2013, 05:31 PM

Also, someone who played the system the way Bryce did is not someone you want recruiting at any University. He'd be telling kids to take the money and run, not that they should go to school for 3 years to better their skills.

Fixed it for you

No offense to anyone here ... but we don't really need help recruiting right now. 3 straight National Championship series visits and 2 back to back titles is doing a pretty damn good job right now.

We've only won 2 national titles. 2 back-to-back titles would be 4 national titles.

You probably meant 2 titles total, which is still amazing

His brother played at South Carolina, and on top of all of that, I read an article about the "What could have been" South Carolina outfield, because apparently Harper was going to come to South Carolina had he decided to go that route.

Quote:

Wil Myers, one of the minors' top hitting prospects, would be the Gamecocks' junior left fielder. Mason Williams, a Yankees farmhand rated the New York-Penn League's top prospect last summer, would be their sophomore center fielder.

And in right? None other than Bryce Harper.

Harper famously left high school after his sophomore season and went No. 1 in the 2010 draft after a season at the JC of Southern Nevada. In our alternate reality, Harper would be a South Carolina freshman. In real life, he committed to the Gamecocks as a backup plan, and his brother Bryan pitched on the 2011 championship club.
