Here’s my take on things: 1.) Mizzou is a guard-driven team. We have the capacity b/c of our defensive capabilities to absolutely shut them down. But we will have to keep an eye on forcing them to shoot OUTSIDE and not inside. They’ve got capable 3 point shooters, but they’re just average...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Meechie Johnson, Jr., an Ohio State transfer guard, has committed to Lamont Paris and the Gamecocks.

South Carolina recently hosted 6'11" rising Sophomore JuCo big man Fede Federiko. Federico averaged 11.7 points/59.4 percent shooting, 57% from the free-throw line, and 8.6 rpg in junior college this year. Fede recently de-committed from West Virginia, and has shown interest in Pittsburgh...

Evansville transfer Troy Boynton… Interestingly Boynton will start out as a walk-on due to the wrist surgery he had as a Freshman at Evansville. Never played due to surgery, but coach Paris recruited Troy heavily while at Chattanooga...

I noted that today, Rahsool Diggins (PG - UConn) has entered the portal. In my mind, that's a pretty sexy pick for new HC Lamont Paris to chase after. He's not going to be as high profile of a candidate, simply because he didn't get a huge amount of playing time as a Freshman. That being...

It’s being reported that Erik Stevenson is now in the portal, the first player from the Frank Martin-led 2021-22 squad to do so. I won’t be surprised to see Jermaine Cousinard, Wildens Leveque, and Keyshawn Bryant too far behind.

I've not entirely given up on Frank Martin yet, but it appears pretty certain that he's on his way out the door with the conference season grinding on in poor fashion.  As such, I'm giving my notice to the AD that here's the guys I'd like to see him chase after to be the next head coach: Wes...

As everyone knows, the 'Cocks sit at a respectable 3-1 on the young season.  After watching the play so far, with a group of guys that none of us know well (nor know what to expect from them), here are a few things I note: 1.) Our returning players are leading the charge in scoring.  It's no...

News from yesterday: Brian Bowen and Chris Silva get a chance with the T-Wolves. https://www.nba.com/timberwolves/timberwolves-sign-brian-bowen-ii-matt-lewis-isaiah-miller-and-chris-silva

TeMarcus Blanton announced yesterday via Twitter, "excited to announce I will be joining the South Cobb High School family! P.E. Teacher / Assistant Basketball Coach! #GoEagles". Super happy for this next step in his career.  Great guy who had a long patch of hard luck with the 'Cocks, but then...

Per Collyn Taylor at Gamecock Central, Frank Martin's staff has gotten busy on the recruiting trail with offers for 2022/23: 2022 Josh Reed, current no. 93 player in the country (6'6" SF). From Pace Academy in Atlanta. (Other offers include Northwestern, Iona, Arkansas, Clemson and George...

Just for grins, since there have been three transfer/portal announcements, I thought it might be interesting to review what the Gamecocks Men's Basketball team could look like next year.  Where are our strengths/weaknesses? First, the Seniors... these are the guys who typically excel in a Frank...

The State is reporting that Keyshawn Bryant is testing the NBA waters, but not signing with an agent (so he can return to College play if no interest).

COVID strikes again... only this time it’s not against us (it’s struck TN’s program). Per SEC statement, Tuesday’s game against TN has been rescheduled to Wednesday evening at 9pm...
