With two scholarships left to use for the 2024-25 season, Lamont Paris and South Carolina's men's basketball staff are mining the transfer portal, likely looking to find a guard who can facilitate offensively and true center. One guard seems to be intrigued enough by the Gamecocks that he's looking to get a closer look at the program, as the social media account  reported on Friday morning that Mount St. Mary's guard Dakota Leffew will be visiting Columbia on Saturday. During this portal cycle, Leffew has already made trips to Syracuse and Villanova.

Last season, Dakota averaged 17.6 points on 43 percent shooting, 4.3 rebounds, and 3.9 assists per game in 30 appearances for the Mountaineers. Leffew is originally a Hampton, GA, native, which means the Georgia Bulldogs, who are also reportedly interested in him, could be a player here as well, as they've already landed a commitment from his former teammate at Mount St. Mary's, De'Shayne Montgomery.
