Lamont Paris, Gamecocks Land SEC Transfer
This offseason, Lamont Paris and his staff have lost a plethora of players from their roster to the NBA Draft, graduation and the transfer portal. The biggest loss to the portal was arguably senior guard Chico Carter Jr., who not only possessed a bevy of experience at the collegiate-level, but was by far the Gamecocks' best three-point shooter last season, shooting 48 percent from behind the arc on 103 attempts.
This created an immediate need for the Gamecocks, who's next best three point shooter was Jacobi Wright, who hit 35 percent of his 80 shots from deep last Winter. One target was immediately identified in the portal in Vanderbilt's Myles Stute, who was a 38 percent three-point shooter in three seasons in Nashville. Stute started in 59 games in that stretch and thus also understands what it's like to deal with the weekly grind in the SEC conference.
Myles took a visit this past weekend to Columbia, and it's apparent that the visit went quite well with the Washington, D.C. native, as he announced his commitment to South Carolina on Monday afternoon.
