South Carolina rising senior Ran Tut will not return to the Gamecocks in 2017-18, coach Frank Martin announced on Wednesday.
The departure of Tut isn’t surprising after the 6-foot-9 Australia native didn’t play in the Gamecocks’ final eight games and in only one of their final 15.
Tut averaged 5.1 minutes in 12 games for the season, with 1.0 points, 1.3 rebounds, three blocks and three steals.
Martin also confirmed the departure of Seede Keita, who had previously announced plans to transfer to St. John’s.
Martin announced the news while confirming his six-man recruiting class of David Beatty, Frank Booker, Jason Cudd, Ibrahim Doumbia, Felipe Haase and Justin Minaya.
