Frank Martin received some good news Monday when 2017 center Jason Cudd committed to the Gamecocks.
Cudd is a massive individual, coming in at 7 feet tall. He plays at Socastee High School just outside Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. He is rated as the fourth-best player in South Carolina and the 23rd-best center in the country. He currently holds offers from the Gamecocks, East Carolina, Tulane and Western Carolina.
Since 2013, the only player that has been rated as a center and signed with South Carolina is true freshman Khadim Gueye.
Cudd is the first commitment of the Gamecocks 2017 men’s basketball recruiting class.
