COLUMBIA, S.C. -- South Carolina point guard Rakym Felder is no longer part of the Gamecocks' basketball team.

Felder, a key reserve for South Carolina's Final Four team last year as a freshman, was dismissed from the program by coach Frank Martin on Monday.

The 5-foot-10 Felder, from Brooklyn, New York, was suspended last summer after his second arrest in less than a year. Felder was not enrolled last fall. He was allowed to return in the spring semester although he did not play.
