The South Carolina men’s basketball is losing a fifth player to the transfer portal, and it’s the most impactful departure yet in terms of statistics. Senior guard Chico Carter Jr. will enter the portal, according to reports from VerbalCommits.com and On3 Sports. Carter, a Columbia native who started his college career at Murray State, started all 25 games he played for USC in 2022-23 and was fourth on the team with 9.8 points per game. Carter also shot a team-high 47.6% on 3-pointers (49 of 103). He is the fifth South Carolina player to enter the transfer portal since coach Lamont Paris’ first season ended at 11-21 (4-14 SEC).
Gamecocks other four confirmed transfers were Tre-Vaughn Minott, forward Ja’Von Benson, walk-on guard Ford Cooper and forward Daniel Hankins-Sanford. Carter’s departure leaves South Carolina with four open scholarships.
