re: Lamont Paris - South Carolina

Let's see if he can recruit or convince transfers to come in. Meechie will be a hard replacement with only 1-year left if he stays.

Lamont has been most successful with transfers, so I'm not terribly concerned. Meechie was a transfer (off the scrap heap, all things considered), as were Mack, Cooper, Stute, and Gray.

The big trick will be if Paris can springboard his success with GG Jackson and Colin Murray Boyles to convince more SC kids to stay home *from the get go.*

Traditionally, SC kids go out of state to play basketball, for no discernable reason. Why is a kid from Lexington high school going to damned Texas, for example? If Paris can get SC kids to stay home, this program can be perennial tourney contenders.
