In this episode of the College Baseball Show Coaches Corner, we sit down with Terry Rooney, pitching coach and recruiting coordinator at South Carolina Gamecocks, to break down the blueprint for getting South Carolina baseball back to the top of the SEC. Rooney dives into year two of the rebuild, roster construction in the transfer portal era, balancing high school recruiting with veteran talent, and what stood out during a strong fall for the Gamecocks. He also shares insight into SEC pitching philosophy, building a winning culture, working alongside legendary head coach Paul Mainieri, and recruiting stories from his career — including landing Justin Verlander at Old Dominion. A must-watch conversation for college baseball fans, coaches, and anyone tracking the 2026 season.
