South Carolina forward Gill considering transfer

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — South Carolina coach Frank Martin says forward Anthony Gill is considering a transfer.

Martin said that Gill got permission to talk with other schools. Martin said Friday that the Gamecocks would let Gill go through the recruiting process again, and he would try and keep the 6-foot-8 freshman at South Carolina.

Martin was named coach last month, coming from Kansas State to replace Darrin Horn.

Gill started 26 of 31 games last year. He averaged 7.6 points and 4.7 rebounds in just over 25 minutes a game.
