South Carolina fans are going to be mad about Kingston because they don't follow USF, but he's really good. I'm a big fan.

Have covered Mark Kingston in the two regionals he led USF to. #Gamecocks got themselves a great coach who can do it all. https://t.co/3a94LADYLR

Ok, well there you go. Pressure will be on from day one for Kingston to produce. Much different than USF. https://t.co/9J9D0EzSA6

I honestly know nothing of Mark Kingston, could be a great hire, just on that previous tweet, fans will expect a lot right off bat.

I really believe Mark Kingston will win big at South Carolina. Have long viewed him as one of those “can’t-miss” future SEC/ACC star coaches
