South Carolina men’s basketball is coming off one of the best seasons in program history. To keep that momentum going into next year, Lamont Paris will have to replace his leading scorer.

Guard Meechie Johnson, who averaged 14 points per game, announced his decision to enter the transfer portal on Instagram late Monday afternoon. The junior, who spent the past two seasons at USC after transferring from Ohio State, was an All-SEC second-team selection this year. He also chipped in with four rebounds and three assists an outing for the Gamecocks.
