One of South Carolina basketball\u2019s priority targets in the 2024 class, Cam Scott, is entering the home stretch of his recruitment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scott is coming off a fantastic few weeks on the circuit. And he has just a few more visits lined up as he nears a decision sometime in the early fall with South Carolina still in the mix.\u00a0<\/p>\n
[Father\u2019s Day! Give him GamecockCentral]<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n \u201cThey\u2019re the backyard team. Being right there and having easy accessibility to me and my family, it\u2019s one of those things where you have to appreciate the little things they do for you,\u201d Scott said Friday.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cAt the same time, they\u2019re showing love. I have to be able to see myself getting better there. If that\u2019s the place I can see myself at, I feel like I could be.\u201d<\/p>\n The Gamecocks have prioritized Scott since the moment Lamont Paris took the job at South Carolina. They offered him quickly and got him on campus multiple times over the last year.\u00a0<\/p>\n He\u2019s been on an official since Paris and his staff took over. And the Gamecocks were front and center at his games Friday as the Scholastic evaluation period kicked off in Rock Hill.<\/p>\n Paris was courtside for both games along with lead assistant Tanner Bronson.<\/p>\n It\u2019s a relationship South Carolina\u2019s tried to cultivate with Scott for over a year now. He said it feels less like a recruiting call when he hears from the Gamecocks now.\u00a0<\/p>\n [Get news from GamecockCentral via email]<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n \u201cNow with South Carolina, it\u2019s gotten to a point where it\u2019s conversating. It\u2019s normal conversations like how\u2019s life, how\u2019s school and how\u2019s everything going,\u201d Scott said. \u201cTalking with them, it\u2019s more of a man-to-man conversation instead of the recruiting process.\u201d<\/p>\n But if the Gamecocks are going to land a commitment from him, they\u2019ll have to do it competing against other really good programs. Scott recently took a trip out to Oregon. Current Ducks assistant Chuck Martin\u2013who recruited Scott during his time at South Carolina\u2013was courtside Friday.<\/p>\n Alabama\u2019s Nate Oats was also there to watch Scott in Rock Hill. The Tide is one of the newest suitors to his recruitment. Scott said he\u2019s working on finalizing a trip to Tuscaloosa and has a trip to Ole Miss set up for Sept. 30.\u00a0<\/p>\n Chris Beard, who\u2019s with the Rebels now, recruited Scott during his time at Texas.<\/p>\n [Garnet Trust: Become an NIL supporter]<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Those are the only two visits lined up for Scott at the moment with him eyeing a commitment sometime before he starts his senior season at Lexington.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cJust talking to a couple of coaches with a couple of new schools reaching out and seeing what it\u2019s like,\u201d he said. \u201cTalking with them and talking with my family and breaking everything down, we\u2019ll probably have a season before school ball.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n On3 considers Scott the No. 19 player in the class and the sixth-ranked shooting guard. He checks in at No. 25 in the On3 Industry ranking with both having him as a four-star prospect.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cThere are a lot of things I can do to take my game to another level. But right now I feel like there are certain spurts where I\u2019m doing the right things all the time,\u201d Scott said. \u201cThen come out on the floor and show what I\u2019ve worked on.\u201d<\/p>\n Scott is coming off a really pivotal few weeks, earning co-MVP at the Pangos All-American Camp and going to Team USA tryouts last week in Colorado.<\/p>\n He was already on a ton of national radars, but his performances there helped build out his profile even more.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n [Subscribe to GamecockCentral\u2019s YouTube page]<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n \u201cIt was my first time out (at Pangos) and I\u2019ve wanted to go to that since I was little. It was an awe-inspiring moment, especially winning MVP,\u201d he said. \u201cI played my heart out and it felt right to be out there. I had the right teams with me and the right coaches coaching for me.\u201d<\/p>\n The post Priority South Carolina target Cam Scott talks recruitment, decision timeline<\/a> appeared first on On3<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" One of South Carolina basketball\u2019s priority targets in the 2024 class, Cam Scott, is entering…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7935","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7935","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7935"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7935\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7935"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7935"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7935"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Discuss South Carolina basketball on The Insiders Forum!<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n
