quote:

-- One 2016 prospect who South Carolina is well aware of is forward Jordan Bruner (Columbia/Spring Valley). Assistant coach Lamont Evans has been to a great number of Bruner’s games and has a good feel for him as a prospect and his potential. Right now, the Gamecocks are still monitoring him and there are no immediate plans to offer him. Clemson has offered him and their assistant coach, Steve Smith, is very high on him. The questions on him right now is his build. He’s a slender player and some feel like he’s not a good enough shooter to play the three position. Bruner is a player that USC will keep an eye on going forward but we don’t expect anything to happen in the immediate future with regards to an offer.


quote:

-- Another local riser is 2017 guard Devontae Shuler (Irmo/Irmo), who was recently featured by 247Sports analyst Jerry Meyer. The Gamecocks are in great shape for Shuler, who has an offer from Stephen F. Austin (home of former USC assistants Brad Underwood and Michael Boynton) to his credit. Shuler has to buckle down in the classroom a little bit though to ensure he qualifies to enroll at a Division I institution out of high school. The academic requirements become a little bit more stringent next year. If he gets his grades up and South Carolina decides to offer - which is likely, provided his academics check out - then the Gamecocks will be tough to overcome as it stands today.

Gamecocks also offered a 2016 PF today:

South Carolina has extended a scholarship offer to 6-foot-9, 225-pound Class of 2016 power forward Sedee Keita of 22 Feet Academy in Greenville, S.C.

Keita is ranked No. 122 nationally in the 2016 class per 247Sports Composite rankings.

Connor Clifford has named his final 2: Washington State and Utah.

quote:

I have not spoken with Clifford personally but in texting with his coach, I get the feeling that distance ended up being a heavy factor in his decision.


Understandable.


------------------

Carolina has offered 3* PF Eric Cobb who was originally a Kansas State commit but decommitted yesterday.

quote:

He is a large guy, but has great foot work and touch, both with his back to the basket & facing out to the arc.

John Whittle has confirmed that 4* SF Alpha Diallo received an offer from South Carolina. Lamont Evans is his recruiter of record.

Tevin Mack (remember him?) has been granted his release from Texas. I wonder if the Dreher HS alum will try to come back home.

He apparently got into some trouble in Austin and had been suspended since mid-January.

Josiah James out of Porter Gaud eliminated us.

Another swing and a miss on an in-state recruit.

Staff got a commitment today for the 2020 cycle: C/PF Patrick Iriel out of A C Flora. A quality in-state prospect. His video highlights have a lot of dunking, but most of the opposition in those videos seemed to be a bit on the short side - he is anywhere around 6-9, 6-10, and he had a lot of 6-5, 6-6 SF types on him.

But he looks to have an all-around decent game - he hit on a 3-ptr, but there was only one of those in his two highlight films, so he probably doesn't do much of that. He at least looks like a big that has an interest in playing a bit above the rim, unlike Kotsar who seemed to be averse to the practice during his time at USC.

Don't know how his confidence would be once he goes against legit physical bigs in the SEC, but he looks like a positive addition to the program, especially with Kotsar and Henry going to be gone when 2020-21 comes around....
