Transfer guard Kory Holden recaps South Carolina official visit

Delaware transfer point guard Kory Holden spent the weekend at South Carolina for an official visit.

It was the first of at least three visits he plans to make as he goes through the recruiting process again. Holden also plans to visit Seton Hall unofficially Tuesday and Baylor officially at the end of the month. He’s also looking at Kansas.

Holden (6-2) said he enjoyed the USC visit and got an inside look at how Frank Martin runs his program.

“I liked how close the players were, the coaching staff and how it was like a big community and family,” Holden said. “Coach Martin was what I thought he was. He’ll tell you the truth. He’ll tell you what he wants from you and lets you know he’s going to coach you.”

Holden added that Martin spelled out for him how he sees him fitting into the program and the role he would play.

“He wants a two point-guard system,” Holden said, “so he said for me to sit out, get bigger and stronger and come in and play.”

Holden said he doesn’t have a favorite yet and wants to take his other visits before identifying one. He does not have a timetable for a decision.

Last season as a sophomore Holden averaged 18 points per game, shooting 80 percent from the line and 39 percent from three-point range. He will have to sit out next season and will have two seasons to play.
