There are plenty of options, and the recruiting ground is very fertile in that state. I wouldn't call the Gamecocks a sleeping giant, because they were never that good to begin with. However, based on where they are geographically, this could be a program to watch with the right hire.
They have a rabid fan base used to mediocre results, so this could be a very good situation for an up-and-coming coach to step into.
