We're less than four months away from South Carolina's football team kicking off the 2024 season in Columbia, which means we're officially in talking season, where every team feels optimistic about their chances to be successful this coming Fall for differing reasons. Last season, the Gamecocks went into the season confident because they had Spencer Rattler at quarterback, but they were concerned because of all the new faces around him. The latter played out in an unfriendly way for Shane Beamer and his staff last year.

However, that won't quite be the case this time around, as ESPN Analytics Guru Bill Connelly has South Carolina tied for 48th in his latest returning production chart he released on Monday afternoon, with the Gamecocks returning 65 percent of their production from a season ago. The formula does include portal commits. Carolina is tied for 36th in the Power 4 and ranks 7th in the SEC in returning production.
