Frank Martin dipped into the underclassman transfer market Saturday to fill up another spot on his roster with a commitment from 6-foot-4 wing Jair Bolden, a Brooklyn native who played the past two seasons at George Washington. Bolden will have to sit out the coming season leaving him two to play for the Gamecocks.
Bolden took an official visit to Columbia on Friday and Saturday. He also visited Seton Hall and San Diego after deciding to transfer in early April. A friend of his knew Martin through basketball circles and helped get the process started that eventually led to his pledge.
