“I got to see where I would play at, got to see the campus and campus life, all that,” said Holloway. “He just showed me the ropes, how living life as a college player would be like. I just learned from him this whole weekend.”

During his conversations with Clayton White, the Peach State product got a better sense of how he could be utilized in the Gamecocks’ defensive scheme.

“They really say that I can move around a lot too.,” Holloway described. “MIKE, WILL SAM, all that. I just want to move around a little bit. I love it. It’s really similar to my high school defensive scheme, too. I feel really good about it.”

A sit-down conversation in Shane Beamer’s office was also in order during the trip.

Said Holloway: “He expressed that he really wanted me to be here. He talked about it with my family and all that. He enjoyed having me here. I enjoyed coming down here too. Everybody in my family said the same thing.”

Holloway previously visited Louisville and has a trip booked to Georgia Tech next weekend. An official visit to Kansas is also possible after that.

It looks like he’s moving closer and closer to a decision.

“Probably in the next week,” he said.
