South Carolina won’t have Jermaine Couisnard when the Gamecocks open the 2018-19 season Tuesday against USC Upstate.
“His situation remains in a holding pattern,” USC coach Frank Martin said Monday of his freshman guard still dealing with an academic issue. “It’s not a campus issue. We’re in a holding pattern waiting for clarifications and decisions to be made.”
Couisnard is a three-star guard from East Chicago, Indiana. After averaging 29.2 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.1 assists during his senior season at East Chicago Central High School, Couisnard took a post-graduate year at Montverde Academy in Florida.
He came to USC this summer but only helped with the “Little Gamecocks” youth camp.
