6-9 Desmond Ringer of McDonough, GA made an official visit with USC over the weekend and got a look at how new coach Frank Martin and his staff will run things at USC. Ringer viewed the campus, checked out the academics, and watched the Gamecocks work out. "He felt like he could play with them and could help them out a lot,l" said his father Boris. "It was a good trip. They are definitely a contender. We just like the coaching staff. They know what they want to do when they are on the court. They need help and Desmond can fit in there." Ringer will visit Mercer this coming weekend and right now his decision is coming down to the Gamecocks and the Bears. His father said they would not rush into a decision and are looking at late October or early November for a decision. link: http://www.goupstate.com/article/20120916/PSPORTS02/120919757/-1/PSPORTS
