The 2-0 South Carolina Gamecocks just gained a little momentum on the recruiting trail with Frank Martin landing one his biggest recruits as Gamecocks head coach as guard David Beatty committed Monday evening.
The 6-3 combo guard out of Philadelphia, P.A. is the only four-star recruit in the Gamecocks 2017 class, but is a major steal as he is regarded as one of the best and most sought after guards in his group. 247Sports currently lists the Philly native as the 7th best guard in the nation and 6th best player out of Pennsylvania.
As recent as August, Beatty released a top five that included the likes of Maryland, Indiana, Georgetown and UConn.
