South Carolina coach Chad Holbrook said Sunday that he was getting close to deciding on the Gamecocks’ starting rotation for the opening weekend series against UNC Greensboro.
On Monday he made the call, announcing that junior Clarke Schmidt will take the mound Opening Day on Friday, Feb. 17.
Fellow junior Wil Crowe will get the start for the Gamecocks on Saturday, with sophomore Adam Hill getting his shot on Sunday.
Holbrook said Sunday that no matter who gets the ball Opening Day, the rotation is not set in stone and Schmidt and Crowe could flip spots at some point.
