Think we got 2 open slots for the 2020 class, and will need to replace Kotsar and Henry who will have graduated. Don't think we'll take anyone who is not a PF or C for the class.....

You can almost rest assured that if Cross or Timberlake Jr say that they want to wear a Gamecock uniform, that Frank Martin will provide a scholly for them.  Both players fit Frank's system well, and both are used to the "old school" style of coaching that Coach Martin utilizes.  Plus both are top 70 players trending upward.  If he had a chance to grab both, he would still find a way to make room for the PF or C player you are talking about.  (And I can almost assure you that at least ONE player on the squad currently will be transferring after this season.

I really like where this Gamecock squad is positioned for the future, and I think that if the cards fall into place, we could be looking at a pretty nice 3-4 year run in the SEC and being a contender each season for the NCAA tourney.  But he needs to squeeze the talent out of the current squad THIS year, and then he needs at least one top 50 candidate to sign on for next year to show interest in the program.  We're THIS close to having exactly what we need to take the Gamecocks to that next level.
