REPORT: Former Gamecock MBB Center Josh Gray Transfers To SEC Foe
In this new era of college athletics mixed with the transfer portal, depending on the program, the portal will giveth, but the portal will taketh also. In the case of Lamont Parisand South Carolina’s Men’s Basketball program this offseason, they’ve endured both, securing commits from Alabama’s Nick Pringle, Missouri’s Jordan Butler, and the MEAC Player of the Year in Norfolk State’s Jamarii Thomas. However, the Gamecocks have also lost their leading scorer from last season, guard Meechie Johnson, to Ohio State, along with guard Ebrima Dibba, who landed at Cleveland State.
Center Josh Gray was the last portal entry from Carolina who had yet to land, but that all changed on Sunday evening. As first reported by Joe Tipton of On3 Sports, the Brooklyn native has committed to the Missouri Tigers, effectively making the Gamecocks’ acquisition of Jordan Butler a trade, so to speak. South Carolina defeated the Tigers in both meetings last season by a combined point margin of +10.

Former Pa. high school football star, record-setting college QB dies at 52
Former Altoona Area High School multi-sport star Steve Taneyhill died this past week after a battle with cancer. He was 52 years old.
Taneyhill went on to attend the University of South Carolina and played quarterback for the Gamecocks following his impressive high school career.
South Carolina announced Taneyhill’s death Monday morning.
“Gamecock Nation mourns the loss of Steve Taneyhill, a pillar of Gamecock history,” South Carolina posted on X. “Our thoughts are with his loved ones. Rest in peace, Steve.”
Taneyhill played for the Gamecocks from 1992-95, setting numerous school records during that time.
He finished his college career with 8,782 passing yards and 62 passing touchdowns. He was inducted into the University of South Carolina Athletics Hall of Fame in 2006.
Steve Taneyhill was named the Freshman of the Year by Sports Illustrated in 1992.
In 1994, he led South Carolina to its first bowl win in program history as the Gamecocks beat West Virginia in the Carquest Bowl.
Taneyhill led South Carolina in passing all four of his college football seasons. He finished his college career with eight 300-yard passing games, including six during his senior year.
Following his playing career, Taneyhill was a successful high school football coach at both Chesterfield High School and Union High School in South Carolina.
Gamecocks fans took to X and shared memories of Taneyhill following his death.
“Gamecock Football wasn’t cool when they entered the SEC. But, Steve Taneyhill made it ok to feel like they belonged,” one fan said. “He was a great, honest guy. Thank you, Steve. Thanks so much, man.”
Former South Carolina assistant coach Justin Stepp added: “Absolutely loved Steve Taneyhill! Was an incredible player and even better person! Praying for his family & those that were close with him!”
