re: Miss State has the 2nd youngest hoops team in the nation

OK, names not important but here goes for SC ...

Seniors 3 (3VL, 3VL, 3VL)
Juniors 3 (2VL/TR (Sitting Out a yr), 2VL (WO), TR (Sitting Out a yr))
Sophs 5 (1VL, 1VL, 1VL, 1TR, 1 walk on)
Freshmen 7 (No Varsity Letters, 4 on schollies, 3 walk ons)

11 players on scholarship

So SC starts 2 SRs, 2 Sophs and a true freshman.

SC subs with 1 SR, 2 Sophs and 3 true freshmen.

It is not unusual to see, even in close games, 3 freshmen and 2 sophmores on the court for the Gamecocks for extended runs.

Senior Sindarius Thornwell is the key to the team this season.
