“I feel bad for Clair, who was making outstanding progress and was going to contribute to our program this season. We understand that injuries are a part of basketball, and we will continue to move forward as we prepare for the season. Clair has a strong work ethic, and we know Clair will work hard to rehab this injury and will return stronger than before.”
South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier on the status of RB Marcus Lattimore:

“I wouldn’t say he’s definitely out. He can walk right now. He may make a nice recovery between now and then.”
