Last week’s Yahoo Sports report sent more shockwaves rippling through college basketball, and the South Carolina Gamecocks were once again caught up in the wash: This time, former star guard PJ Dozier was named for allegedly accepting $6,115 from an agent while he was a Gamecock, and current transfer Brian Bowen allegedly received $7,000 as a Louisville recruit. South Carolina assistant coach Chuck Martin, who had recruited Bowen while at his previous stop, Indiana, was somewhat implicated as well in an ASM Sports company email.
Gamecocks head coach Frank Martin met with the media this morning and defended both Dozier and his assistant, describing Dozier as “crushed” about his inclusion in the report:
Martin says he read the same report, saw Dozier's name in the report, but not in the ledgers that were printed.
