Kory Holden dribbled twice between his legs near midcourt before slowly setting up his defender on the right wing. South Carolina basketball practice was in session and, this time, Holden wasn’t just a scout team player.
As the Gamecocks on Thursday made further preparations for the 2017-18 season, their touted transfer guard showed a sense of urgency at the Carolina Coliseum. Holden, after a year off because of his transfer from the University of Delaware, will soon debut for USC, giving fans something to judge beyond his offensive-heavy stat line as a Blue Hen.
From now until Monday’s exhibition against Erskine, however, Gamecock supporters must rely on hearsay and YouTube.
