SOUTH CAROLINA GAMECOCKS BASKETBALL

The Gamecocks are in the process of getting their new players on campus and motoring through offseason workouts, and the first step in that is getting the new guys their new numbers.

South Carolina announced the numbers players will wear this season, including the team's newcomers, and their new weights with a few guys gaining some weight over the last year.

Trae Hannibal will wear 12 with Seventh Woods donning 25, shying away from Sindarius Thornwell's No. 0. Trey Anderson will wear No. 2 with Jalyn McCreary taking No. 4 and the two centers—Micaiah Henry and Wildens Leveque—wearing 13 and 15, respectively. Mike Green, the team's other walk-on, will wear 23.

The bigs all check in at 6-foot-7 or bigger with McCreary the shortest of the three. Henry is 6-foot-9 and 235 pounds with Leveque an inch taller and five pounds lighter.

Almost all of the team's returners gained weight from their last listed weight with Nathan Nelson gaining the most weight (15 pounds), up to 189 pounds.

Of the scholarship players, Jermaine Couisnard gained the most with nine pounds, and he's up to 211 pounds.
