The transfer portal how can it help the Gamecocks to fill holes for next year's team?
With a bowl game still on the horizon, possible staff changes coming and plenty of current Gamecock players with decisions to be make about their futures, it’s not altogether clear what the roster needs will be this offseason. But as the transfer portal begins to fill up and with some context clues — there are a few positions South Carolina may need to plug with veteran imports heading toward Shane Beamer’s second offseason in charge in Columbia.
Gamecocks may look to bolster through the transfer portal:
Starting with QB: the Gamecocks could look to the portal for an experienced option to springboard an offense that was average, at best, during Beamer’s first full season at the helm.
Fans will clamor for Ohio State transfer Jack Miller or former Oklahoma QB Spencer Rattler to join the fold, though the indication is there’s not any discernible interest from South Carolina, Rattler or Miller in creating a marriage. With coaching changes continuing to reshuffle staffs and rosters, it may not be until late December or January that a true target becomes clear here. However, it’d be surprising if South Carolina doesn’t bring in at least one new signal-caller who’s not already on the radar.
