What Gamecocks' first SEC availability report says about LaNorris Sellers' status

As expected: No. 17 South Carolina listed quarterback LaNorris Sellers in its first availability report ahead of Saturday’s matchup against Arkansas. After injuring his ankle during the Gamecocks’ 17-9 win over Texas A&M last week, Sellers is designated as questionable three days out from USC’s game in Fayetteville. Receivers Nyck Harbor and Nitro Tuggle and defensive back J’Zavien Currence also were listed as questionable. Sellers got tests done on his ankle Sunday night and South Carolina coach Shane Beamer said “everything looked good,” giving him the confidence to say, “We fully expect him to play (against Arkansas).” In the second quarter of Saturday’s win over the Aggies, a Texas A&M defender landed on Sellers’ left ankle as he sacked the Gamecocks’ quarterback. Sellers left the game and immediately got X-rays inside Williams-Brice Stadium. When those came back negative, meaning there was no break, it allowed Sellers to continue playing. Early in the second half, it was clear he was struggling to manage the pain. He wasn’t stepping into throws. He consistently looked down at his ankle after bad throws. He seemed unsure of how much the ankle could take. Eventually, though, the injury’s affects weren’t showing themselves as much, which

Dawn Staley Finally Gets Her Dream Recruit as GG Banks Chooses South Carolina Over LSU, Texas

Some recruiting battles are won through persistence, while others come down to a connection that stays with a player long after their first conversation. For Dawn Staley, GG Banks’ decision to commit to South Carolina is a little bit of both. The five-star guard had identified the Gamecocks as her dream school back in 2023, and now, after attracting attention from several major programs, she’s bringing her talents to Columbia. “South Carolina head women’s basketball coach Dawn Staley announced that Jezelle ‘GG’ Banks (Wilmington, Del. / The St. James Academy (VA)) will join the Gamecocks begin...

Recommendation of the Week: Dipped cone at Zesto of West Columbia

Sometimes an icon is more than just a symbol. For 77 years, Zesto of West Columbia has been a fixture on 12th Street, offering up burgers , chicken, fries, milkshakes, hot dogs and more. The restaurant is such a mainstay that earlier this year a section of 12th Street, from Jarvis Klapman Boulveard down to Knox Abbott Drive, was named Gus Manos Memorial Street in memory of one of the West Columbia restaurant’s late co-owners. While I do love a good Zesto burger and fries, on a recent afternoon visit I went with a chocolate dipped ice cream cone. There’s a reason they have a towering sculpture of it outside, after all. With its solid chocolate shell enveloping the super sweet vanilla ice cream , the dipped cone remains a classic afternoon snack, a reward after soccer practice , or a treat for just about any other occasion. If you liked this suggestion and want to see more like it, you can get my recommendations first in Let’s Dish, Columbia, my weekly newsletter offering restaurant and food news from across Columbia, Lexington and South Carolina.
