For the past several weeks, South Carolina men's basketball fans have eagerly anticipated some good news on the recruiting front for Lamont Paris and the Gamecocks, not necessarily from the high school ranks but from the transfer portal. While those efforts have been mainly quiet to this point, at least as far as public information goes, there was an intriguing development on Saturday afternoon from a 2024 prospect that Carolina fans will want to follow moving forward. Four-star guard Cam Scott, who signed with the Texas Longhorns on November 8th this past year, was released from his National Letter of Intent as first reported by On3 Sports' Jamie Shaw.

Scott, a Lexington High School product out of Lexington, SC, visited the Gamecocks four times before making his college decision, and in college basketball, it's essentially an unwritten that once a kid commits to a program, coaches from other schools stop recruiting him. I imagine that Paris and his staff will make the effort to try and keep the state's Gatorade Player of the Year home.
