South Carolina Gamecock Basketball

South Carolina Guard Meechie Johnson will enter the transfer portal, according to a post on his social media.  As a junior, Johnson led the team with 14.1 points per game to go alongside 4.1 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game.  Johnson came to South Carolina ahead of the 2022 season following a two-year stint with Ohio State. Head coach Lamont Paris will now have to replace three of the team’s four leading scorers from this season’s NCAA tournament team — as grad students BJ Mack (13.6 ppg, 4.7 rpg and 1.3 apg) and Ta’lon Cooper (9.9 ppg, 4.2 rpg and 4.2 apg) are both out of eligibility.
