COLUMBIA, S.C. — Before Frank Martin’s newest Gamecocks introduce themselves to the South Carolina fans at Colonial Life Arena, they had the chance to play in front of the Midlands at the ninth annual SC Pro Am at Heathwood Hall.
The event, run by former Gamecock Carey Rich, featured six teams filled with Gamecocks and other local collegiate and professional basketball players from the midstate area. They played three separate sessions of three games each over the past week, culminating in Sunday’s final exhibitions before these players return to their respective schools.
With plenty of new faces putting on the garnet and black this winter, the Pro Am provided a great opportunity to see what kind of talent Frank Martin will be working with in the 2021-22 season.
