South Carolina forward Keyshawn Bryant has a plan ahead of the NBA Draft, and he plans to go forward with the process without signing with an agent. That means the door is open for a return to the Gamecocks.

“I want to say thank you to my family, my teammates, Coach Frank and my coaches and all of Gamecock Nation for their support thus far in my college career,” “I’m very thankful and excited to have the opportunity to go through the process.”

Despite South Carolina struggling as a team, Bryant had a career year by averaging 14.4 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game while shooting 48.3 percent from the field and 20.7 from 3.

That came after a 2019-20 season when he saw action in 22 games during his sophomore campaign, with 20 starts on the year, averaging 9.1 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.8 blocks and 0.8 steals in 21.5 minutes per game. He started all 17 SEC contests in which he played in, averaged 9.5 points, 5.1 rebounds and hit 46.6 percent from the field in league games.
