As the 2018 Nike EYBL Peach Jam was moments from tipping off Wednesday, a prominent face to South Carolina basketball fans was fully settled into a courtside seat. Frank Martin’s phone was in his hand, but his eyes were on a prized recruit near the center circle.
The USC head coach, with assistant Bruce Shingler to his left, was watching Wendell Moore. The five-star prospect from Concord, North Carolina, is here competing with his AAU team, CP3. He’ll be in Columbia on the weekend of Sept. 8 for an official visit with the Gamecocks.
The timing of the trip, of course, means he’ll likely be at Williams-Brice Stadium for South Carolina’s football showdown with Georgia.
