Right now it looks pretty neck and neck with USC/Aubie. I think we have a small advantage b/c of other SC guys joining Coach Paris' team right now, but Pearl has always been the proverbial "used car salesman"... he can sell his program well, and gets guys to commit. In the past it was dirty...

Yes, but it's not as it appears from the article title. He's not visiting b/c Florida State was doing some facilities renovations and the team was not going to be having court drills, which is what Jordan wants to experience. Jordan commented on this elsewhere. He's still trying to negotiate...

The Gamecocks will host top-50 center Jordan Butler beginning Friday night (8/19) and continuing through the weekend. Coach Paris and staff are competing solidly with teams like Auburn, Florida State, Missouri and Georgia Tech who are all showing interest. Butler is a four-star prospect and...

Interesting to hear that Coach Paris and staff are pursuing Comeh. That was not a name I expected to see with the change in staff. He strikes me as a little bit underweight for his size, but a solid player. I wouldn't turn up my nose at this one if discussions move further down the road.

Yeah, I completely agree. I still want Frank to succeed at UMass. I used to LOVE watching those guys back during the Calipari/Camby years. Would be great to see that program back on top. All that said, there’s not much TV time for UMass right now, even with Frank Martin’s hire. GG would get...

And this is why I’m still a sceptic about GG coming until I see the presser when he announces. The NIL is going to have to be HUGE to get past two things… the influencer group that has been talked about in the other thread on GG, and the fact that he’s about to shine in the Peach Jam and knows...

Let’s just say I’m not holding my breath on this one, despite Jamie Shane’s positive outlook. GG would make a great addition for Lamont’s team, and would be a recruiting splash for USC, but I sincerely doubt GG will be making the switch to USC.

There has been a small stretch where basketball recruiting has been pretty quiet. The end of April saw the last active recruiting period (versus evaluation periods and quiet periods) allowable by the NCAA until September (if I'm not mistaken - see here and here for details). The NBA and...

It will be interesting to see how the new look Gamecocks play come October/November. Right now we seem like the team from the Island of Misfit Toys... a bunch of really interesting pieces, but they all have small parts of their game missing or don't look like they are a natural fit. I'm truly...

They're going to soon find out how "squeaky clean" his mouth is! (Wishing him the best at UMass, though!)

Actually, per NCAA rules, any coach is unable to talk about recruits by name unless they sign a LOI with the school. They can make generic remarks, but are not supposed to name players specifically in any form of press. The "leaks" that come out about players interest are typically from...

Gamecock Central is reporting that Coach Lamont Paris has interest in: Kyle Lofton (guard) and Osun Osunniyi (center). Both are in the transfer portal from St. Bonaventure, and are well above par players. The other name currently connected to Gamecock interest is USC Upstate's Bryson Mozone...

I hate to hear that. Benji was local radio at its finest.

@markymark550, I feel about the same, truthfully. It’s bodies that are needed at this point. If Coach Paris can pull a rabbit out of a hat and find a 14+ppg big in the portal who wants to play for him, then good on him. But IDK if that’s gonna happen right now.

@markymark550 and @kingofnerf, Jamille was also playing behind two other upperclassmen (one of whom, Cheikh Doing, is a pretty solid player). He'd need some "sculpting" to get him into SEC shape, but he's what I would consider a serviceable big and a needed asset at this point.

Ebrima Dibba gave his official commitment to Lamont Paris today. Dibba is a 6'6" point guard transfer from Coastal Carolina who averaged 8.1 points per game on 45.9% shooting/35.5% 3-point last season. Dibba also led the Chanticleers and the Sun Belt Conference with 173 assists last year...

@Garnetandglad He’s going to Clemson, unfortunately.

Brevin Galloway has announced South Carolina and Clemson as his final two teams as a portal transfer from Boston College. Starring for 4 years at College of Charleston, then a transfer season at Boston College, Brevin wants to return to his home state of South Carolina (he's an Anderson, SC...

There was talk about Max Klesmit, and he has the Gamecocks listed in his final 4 teams he's considering. I'm curious as to other's thoughts on him. There's a lot to like there, and he torched us for 27 points (8-10 FG/5-7 3pt./6-6 FT) vs. the Frank Martin-led Gamecocks back in November, in an...

The last few days have turned this story around. First Hayden Brown from The Citadel, and today Meechie Brown, Jr. from Ohio State. Both are quality transfer pulls from the transfer portal. I'm, personally, quite intrigued by Hayden Brown, as he has a LOT of different tools in his toolkit and...
