The biggest winner of SEC Media Days? Shane Beamer being lauded for his performance
The biggest winner from the first day of SEC Media Days?
Based on the reactions following Shane Beamer’s debut appearance from Hoover, the South Carolina coach likely earns that distinction as the first-year Gamecock coach was certainly impressive on Monday.
Immediately after Beamer left the main stage from Hoover, the positive reactions came flooding in response to the coach’s appearance at the main podium.

Shane Beamer impressive in his Media Days debut. He's name-checking B-list SEC Network talent. He mentioned his wife working Media Days as a @HailState intern. He mentioned Alabama courting his father. He's poised, confident and comfortable.

Beamer even caught the eye of one of South Carolina’s biggest targets on the recruiting trail:
