Aside from our publisher, Brian Shoemaker, GamecockCentral.com employs three writers/reporters who enjoy running down and reporting the news for you daily, plus interacting with you on The Insiders Forum. All four are USC graduates.
Shoe, as we call him, leads the day to day operations and is the site's sole owner. Not bad for a guy who failed his first computer class in college, huh?
Chris was a poli-sci major with aspirations of being a lawyer one day. He started writing about Gamecock football and recruiting in college, not long after poring over highlight tapes of Carlos Thomas and the late OJ Murdock during the 2005 recruiting cycle. It was more of a side hobby, too, until Shoe gave him a dream opportunity to do it for a living, full-time, in 2009.
We recruited Wes to join our team in 2014, and he arrived with a reputation of being well-liked and well-connected, which he's lived up to and more. Wes works closely with Chris to produce insider knowledge on football and recruiting and does dynamite work.
Collyn is our youngest and got his start as an intern for GamecockCentral.com while in college. We liked him so much that we decided to keep him around after he graduated. He seems to be all over the place and produces a ton of informative and quality content on a daily basis.
We also have many part time staffers, including Chris Wellbaum, who takes the lead on our coverage of Dawn Staley's championship women's basketball program (and supplements other sports coverage), photographers Chris Gillespie, Katie Dugan, Montez Aiken, and CJ Driggers, plus stats analyst/football writer Will Helms.
