South Carolina center Nick Pringle has reportedly entered the NCAA Transfer Portal and will consider declaring for the NBA Draft.

Pringle transferred to South Carolina from Alabama last offseason. Per SI.com:

Pringle, a South Carolina native, averaged 9.5 points and 6.3 rebounds per game this season. Despite being a highly-touted 4-star transfer, his year didn’t go as planned. He struggled with consistency and efficiency, contributing to a season that fell short of expectations for both him and the Gamecocks.

His departure frees up a valuable roster spot for head coach Lamont Paris, who’s working to guide South Carolina back to the NCAA Tournament.

Pringle’s journey has been anything but conventional. He began his college career at Wofford before transferring to junior college, where he emerged as one of the top JUCO prospects in the nation. That earned him a spot at Alabama, where he played two seasons and was part of a Final Four run. He then returned to his home state to suit up for South Carolina, hoping to make an impact.
