A ‘junkyard dog’ and a ‘special talent.’ Frank Martin breaks down 2022 signees

Nov. 15, 2021

From the moment the South Carolina basketball team signed Devin Carter, head coach Frank Martin has talked up the freshman’s ability. Over the weekend, Carter turned in his best game as a Gamecock, scoring 16 points against Western Kentucky while playing a physical style of basketball that included multiple trips to the free-throw line and a couple of dunks.

After Sunday’s game, Martin pointed to Carter as another in a line of unheralded prospects who ended up producing at South Carolina. A day later, Martin said the Gamecocks’ two newest signees, 2022 guards Zach Davis and Daniel Hankins-Sanford, could make just as much of an impact when they get to campus.

“When we signed Devin Carter the year before, he wasn’t one of those sexy kind of internet heroes that everyone raves about, so we got no credit for signing him,” Martin said. “He’s really good. Just like Chris Silva, A.J. Lawson, Maik Kotsar, guys that weren’t sexy social media guys, so no one ever gave them credit for being good players. (ARTICLE)

 
Carter is looking pretty good, especially in the WKU game.  Hope he keeps progressing but Frank also has to know he needs some of those other types he's mocking to take us back to the NCAAT.  Silva and Kotsar couldn't get us there alone....needed highly ranked skilled guys in Dozier (5*) and Thornwell (4*) to make that happen.
