Gamecocks Men's Basketball picks up another 2017 commitment:
I posted above about Coach Martin getting the pledge from center Jason Cudd a day or so after Cudd officially visiting us the weekend of the 9th. He wasn't the only one that OV'd us that weekend - he was joined by 6-8 Forward Ibrahim Doumbia (6-8, 200 - Miami Country Day School, Miami, FL). Now, Coach Frank has gone two for two on commitments from those visitors:

We continue to add length and athleticism to our program roster. USC had 3 available scholarships for the 2017 cycle with the g=pending graduations of Thornwell, Notice, and McKie, and now have filled 2 of them. I suspect along with others that we'll hold the other one for in-state guard Devontae Shuler.
Doumbia chose USC over offers from Florida, Tennessee, Baylor, TCU, UCF, and UTEP.
So for 2017-18 with everything remaining on schedule, we'll have a roster that includes:
Sr. 6-9 Tut
Jr. 6-9 Silva
So. 6-9 Keita
So. 6-10 Kotsar
So. 7-0 Gueye
Fr. 6-8 Doumbia
Fr. 7-1 Cudd

Was listening to Cary (Rich) today on 107.5 The Game and he was really high on what Coach Martin is doing with recruiting. I think one, or both, of these latest guys has a connection to Coach Martin through his HS coach or something. Good friends, maybe a former player who is now coaching, or something.
All of these big men he is recruiting are very decent prospects as well ... not just desperation takes. These guys fit Martin's system. I'm really looking forward to seeing what he can develop these guys into along with what we have returning.
I'm highly optimistic about our men's program.
