Both of those guys are good players.   I would love to get both.  But at the moment, no scholarships are open.

@GaryCoach Martin knows the drill by now... SOMEONE on the squad is going to choose to go elsewhere, seeking out more minutes or a greater role on a team.  We've got at least two candidates who will likely be in that camp (I would expect to hear something by April 15th at latest, barring some more strange turns of events with the coronavirus stuff). 

Nolley is unlikely, if Buzz Peterson has room for him at A&M, given that he recruited him to Va. Tech.  That being said, if Peterson can't put him on his squad, I guarantee you that he would give a good recommendation for Nolley to play for Coach Martin, despite both coaches playing in the same league.

Marfo, in my mind, is even LESS of a likelihood than Nolley is.  You may have seen this news, but just in case...

As you note... both players would be good (if not great) grabs for the Gamecocks.  I'd love it if one or both could join the team.
