Former Gamecock David Beatty close to finding new home | The State

David Beatty will soon have his second college basketball coach. He’ll always remember his first one, though.

“In life,” said the former South Carolina guard, “you want somebody that’s going to have your back 100 percent. Coach Martin was one of those people I was grateful to have in my life, and I look forward to still having him in my life. I learned a lot from him.”

USC announced Beatty’s departure from Frank Martin and the Gamecock program on April 16. Two weeks later, the former four-star prospect is nearing a decision on the next stop in his career.
