[run49er]

THE USC (South Carolina) MEN’S basketball team gained a commitment last week from one of the top guards on their board.

Brandis Raley of Gastonia, N.C., also had offers from Boston College and St. Bonaventure and drew interest from Vanderbilt, Auburn, West Virginia and Notre Dame. Last season, the 6-foot-3 Raley averaged 28 points per game.

-Competitiveness
-Mid-Range Game

AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT
-3-Point Range
-Passing

Strong, tough guard. Can play both backcourt spots in a pinch. Rose from mid-major offers to high-major player during the spring and summer of his senior season. Coachable, talented and improving on a year basis.
