Before Monday morning, one could pencil in South Carolina’s starting point guard for next season and not have to think twice about it.
As long as Rakym Felder got back in good graces with Frank Martin, the coach seemed more than willing to hand the offensive keys to the redshirt sophomore in 2018-19. Felder, before being suspended indefinitely last fall, was going to replace P.J. Dozier at PG in 2017-18. He had shown enough flashes as a freshman to make that a given.
But Felder, after given another chance from Martin in January, has run out of them.
