Spring practice depth chart released

It's that magical time of year when 45 degrees with heavy rain feels like a tropical retreat. As we watch spring training games in Florida and Arizona, our minds start to consider the possibility of leaving the house without spending five good minutes of heavy layering.

It's that magical time of year when girlfriends nationwide are put on notice that they have no reasonable expectation that their boyfriends will pay them a lick of attention in the build-up to (fantasy) baseball season.

And every once in a while, when you least expect it, you'll stumble upon a tasty treat like the release of the Gamecock football team's spring depth chart.

For losing three stars to early departure plus the stalwart Jasper Brinkley and Kenny McKinley to graduation, this group looks surprisingly strong. The defensive line should be one of the best in the SEC. The secondary shouldn't lose much from last year, as Munnerlyn and Cook will each be succeeded by capable replacements in Akeem Auguste and Chris Culliver. The offensive line looks like it will be stronger and deeper than ever before.

It would seem as though our success will (once again) hinge on our ability or inability to generate production from the offensive skill positions.
