Imagine if Michael Maddox let D.J. Burns borrow his jersey.
Chants of “We want Zion” rained down on the Colonial Life Arena floor Sunday during South Carolina’s exhibition game against Virginia Tech. Gamecock Nation was in full force, trying to persuade five-star forward Zion Williamson to come to USC.
But, as has been duly noted, fans confused the prospect sitting behind South Carolina’s bench for the Spartanburg Day star, when actually it was Burns, a 2019 recruit from Rock Hill.
The cheer alone – though going toward the wrong player – was enough to confirm that Columbia remains on board with Carolina’s quest for Williamson.
