South Carolina coach Chad Holbrook said Sunday that about a dozen position players have earned playing time entering the season and he plans to give each of them opportunities early on in 2017.
Chris Cullen, Alex Destino, Madison Stokes, TJ Hopkins and Jonah Bride will likely be in the lineup when USC opens the season on Friday and most days throughout the year, but several spots remain up for grabs.
“I don’t think the lineup’s going to be very consistent the first four, five, six games. I’m going to play a few guys. There’s 11 or 12 that I think deserve some chances and some opportunities.
