A whole bunch of South Carolina standouts enter the regular signing period with limited or no options despite proving that they are capable of playing at the next level. Often these guys have stood out over the course of two or three seasons, meaning they can sustain success over time.
This is an easy cheat sheet for mid- or lower-tier teams looking to add some some last-minute talent. And considering many of the following players have few or no offers, it could lead to a quick commitment and a grateful-yet-deserving player.
Even if the athletic scholarship money is drying up, we all know a roster spot is sometimes good enough to pay dividends down the line. We have a hard time believing these guys don’t fit in somewhere after all we’ve seen over the years.
