South Carolina's roster continues to shift this offseason as guard Cam Scott announces plans to enter the transfer portal on Wednesday afternoon. This is the fifth player to enter the portal from the Gamecocks since the season ended following the SEC Tournament.

Cam Scott is a former consensus four-star player in the 2024 class. Scott was rated as the number one player in the state of South Carolina and a top ten shooting guard in the class out of high school. His senior season at Lexington High School he averaged 22 points per game to go along with 6.4 rebounds, 3.3 steals, and 2.5 assists. Also was named the 2024 South Carolina 5A Player of the Year.

Transfer Portal Losses

Lamont Paris and the Gamecocks have seen five players now exit the program since season's end. Scott joins Jordan Butler, EJ Walker, Elijah Strong, and Eli Ellis as those who have entered the portal.

This is the second offseason in a row that the Gamecocks roster is expected to see a big overhaul. The last two seasons have not gone well in Columbia and Lamont Paris will look to turn things around with a new team in 2026-2027.
