South Carolina’s new coach Lamont Paris is dealing with some roster turnover as he takes over the Gamecocks program.

Guard Devin Carter has reportedly entered the transfer portal, Travis Branham of 247Sports reported. Carter was a big recruit for former coach Frank Martin in the last recruiting cycle, and he grew into a dependable player for the Gamecocks. But as Paris takes over the roster, Carter is the fifth player to signal plans to play elsewhere.

Carter is the son of 13-year NBA player Anthony Carter, and the Gamecocks’ Carter finished fourth on the team with 9 points per game while adding 3.8 rebounds. He averaged 18.7 minutes per contest and made 7 starts at point guard while veteran Jermaine Couisnard dealt with injuries.

Coming out of high school, Carter was a 4-star recruit according to 247Sports and rated the No. 6 combo guard in the recruiting class, and a top 100 player overall.
