One of Frank Martin’s former players backs coach in addressing scandal

South Carolina fans are waiting with baited breath to see if fallout from the FBI investigation that swept up former Gamecocks men’s basketball assistant Lamont Evans has any effect on USC’s program.

One of Frank Martin’s former players said the coach was not about the sort of recruiting that has multiple college assistants charged. He even dropped a playful dig just for emphasis.

Michael Beasley, who played one year at Kansas State for Martin, told reporter Mike Vorkunov‏ he did not get paid with the Wildcats and referenced Martin’s approach.

“We did it the right way,” Beasley said.
