Shannon RobertsGUEST
He goes, I played with Chase.
Shannon RobertsGUEST
And then he goes, wait, you played at Limestone? You played with blah, blah, blah at Limestone.
Shannon RobertsGUEST
It's a community.
Shannon RobertsGUEST
It's so small.
Scott WhitlockGUEST
Yesterday was a, a bittersweet day.
Scott WhitlockGUEST
About 10 days ago, along with our friend Jimmy Martin, who is a retired coach from Limestone, I drove over and spent about 45 minutes with Jess, and he was still in good spirits.
Scott WhitlockGUEST
He s- you know, still had his faculties and everything and, but he was weak.
Scott WhitlockGUEST
If you can imagine Jess Danley not being able to speak above a whisper, and he c- 'cause he had such a booming voice, and he had such a presence about him.
StaceyUNKNOWN
I do.
StaceyUNKNOWN
We all worked at Limestone University, my entire family, and we found out April 16th last year that it was probably going to close.
StaceyUNKNOWN
They didn't make the decision for two weeks later.
StaceyUNKNOWN
But April 16th, we found out the college was probably going to close.
Chris ClarkHOST
He could be a factor for you on special teams as well, I think.
Chris ClarkHOST
Has the rapport, I think, with Mike Furry, you know, from his past at Limestone.
Chris ClarkHOST
So there's a familiarity there that I think helps, you know, with both sides, quite frankly.
Chris ClarkHOST
We had heard, you know, what was that scrimmage one? He had a touchdown, you know, very early.
35 MINS LATER
Wes MitchellHOST
It was like, this is not your average walk-on.
Wes MitchellHOST
Like, this guy could actually be a major part of what South Carolina does eventually.
Wes MitchellHOST
Now, I didn't anticipate he was going to go to Limestone and UCF and transfer back and all this stuff.
Wes MitchellHOST
I figured DJ would be more of like a... rotational impact guy.
Rob WilliamsGUEST
You know, the connections here are just wild for me because he walked on a South Carolina.
Rob WilliamsGUEST
He ends up at Limestone and Gaffney where his head coach was Mike Furry.
Rob WilliamsGUEST
For anybody who doesn't know that, that athletic department shut down a year after Mike Furry took the job.
Rob WilliamsGUEST
at south carolina dj black goes to uc everybody was displaced it was honestly kind of a mess and had nothing to do with their athletic department right right so anyway he goes to ucf catches 35 30 plus balls last year in the big 12 in case you forgot about ucf being a powerful school and so now he's back and he's a 4-3 guy he has familiarity with the school because he was there before he has familiarity with the position coach because he played for him right head coach And he has 4'3 speed, and he's an in-state kid who wants to go out and ball for this team.
Rob WilliamsGUEST
And as much as we are talking about him, I think defenses are going to gamble and say, well, we know what Harbor can do.
Rob WilliamsGUEST
We've got some tape on this Bennett kid.
Rob WilliamsGUEST
What about this guy that caught 30 balls at UCF? What's the advanced scouting on a guy like DJ Black? Limestone tape, walk-on tape from when he was at South Carolina before.
Rob WilliamsGUEST
He has an opportunity to jump out early, I think, and kind of catch some people off guard.
Brett DasovicHOST
But when I look at the way things now, especially on college campuses for something like that, was there pushback from like campus officials because of the subject matter?
Siaka MassaquoiGUEST
S- so, uh, we were fortunate enough that we, we were at Limestone College that was s- probably six to nine months, uh, after it went, uh, it, it went debunk- or de- defunked.
Brett DasovicHOST
Okay.
Siaka MassaquoiGUEST
So- We got this whole campus for three months-
Siaka MassaquoiGUEST
The kids could play.
Siaka MassaquoiGUEST
It was, it was r- really amazing, and it was a beautiful area.
Siaka MassaquoiGUEST
Limestone College in Gaffney, South Carolina.
Siaka MassaquoiGUEST
It was really sad that they weren't gonna be open anymore, but there was a lot of people who loved that school, um, a- and was around there that came, the community came to really help us.
Jamie BradfordHOST
Brian Turk, by the way, another Gamecock who coached for Coach Spurrier at South Carolina and Coach Muschampo as well, I believe.
Jamie BradfordHOST
He ended up actually being the head coach at Limestone for a while.
Jamie BradfordHOST
He's the OC at Bowling Springs.
Jamie BradfordHOST
So there's just, you know, this is neat.
Shelby SauceHOST
Yeah.
Shelby SauceHOST
But I remember when I went to college and everything, my friends who I played lacrosse with at Limestone, they're twins.
Shelby SauceHOST
They're from South Carolina.
Shelby SauceHOST
And their mom was like, no, the letter jackets were a really big deal in their high school because their high school was like such a big athletic school.
