Frank Martin’s Gamecocks land LSU big-man transfer
The South Carolina men’s basketball added a unique transfer to its roster Thursday.
The Gamecocks confirmed the signing of Josh Gray from LSU, a rare move to add a transfer from another SEC program. He’s expected to be the ninth new face on the Gamecocks this year.
The 6-foot-11 center from Brooklyn, New York averaged 0.8 points and 1.2 rebounds per game as a freshman, his only season with the Tigers.
He is eligible to play in the 2021-22 season, a school spokesperson confirmed. The SEC recently dropped its rule requiring intraconference transfers to sit out a year. Gray’s entrance into the transfer portal was reported by media outlets on May 5.
