Alabama transfer portal big man Nick Pringle has committed to South Carolina men’s basketball.

Head coach Lamont Paris and the entire staff met with Pringle in Tuscaloosa last week as the 6-foot-10, 230-pounder emerged as a priority target for the Gamecocks.

Pringle committed to the Gamecocks Saturday night after being on campus for two days on an official visit.

The former Whale Branch standout averaged 6.8 points and 5.1 rebounds for the Tide this past season and ended up playing a huge role in their Final Four run.

Pringle is ranked the No. 96 overall prospect in the portal by 247Sports.

South Carolina landed Palmetto State native and former Missouri big-man Jordan Butler out of the portal last Sunday.

The Gamecocks are also waiting on a decision from La Salle transfer point guard Jhamir Brickus, who has a final three of Carolina, Villanova and VCU.

South Carolina is in the process of replacing starters Ta’Lon Cooper, Meechie Johnson, and B.J. Mack from last year’s NCAA Tournament team. Cooper and Mack are out of eligibility while Johnson transferred back home to play for Ohio State.

South Carolina’s 2024 high school class features three signees: Lexington (S.C.) four-star guard Cam Scott, Baxter (Ky.) Harlan three-star guard Trent Noah, and Omnia Basketball Academy (Helsinki) three-star forward Okku Federiko.
