South Carolina Basketball Extends Offer to 2027 Prospect Martay Barnes
South Carolina basketball has officially offered class of 2027 prospect Martay Barnes, a talented 6-2 combo guard from Melbourne, Florida, on Sunday. Barnes, who is the younger brother of former Gamecock running back Rocket Sanders, is considered a potential five-star recruit in the ’27 cycle. The recruitment window opened at midnight, and the Gamecocks swiftly made their move, with Barnes announcing the offer on social media before lunchtime.
Known for his explosive play, Barnes showcases a well-rounded skill set. He excels in scoring, is a solid distributor, and poses a formidable defense. His offensive game combines aggressive drives to the basket with the patience to navigate defenses effectively. Defensively, his athleticism and wingspan enable him to play bigger than his height suggests, showcasing potential as a two-way player at the collegiate level.
Ranked by On3 as the No. 29 prospect overall and No. 1 among combo guards in Florida, Barnes is drawing attention from multiple power conference programs, including Kentucky, Mississippi State, and Miami. The Gamecocks previously hosted him for an unofficial visit, solidifying their interest in this promising talent.
