Lexington, South Carolina – Cam Scott, a four-star junior guard at Lexington High School, is preparing to announce his college decision, potentially revealing his choice in early 2023. At the S.C. Basketball Coaches Association media day, Scott indicated he is considering making a commitment by late January or February.
Scott’s recruitment has gained attention as he has taken multiple official and unofficial college visits. While he has not publicly disclosed a list of his top schools, he has expressed positive sentiments regarding his experiences at South Carolina and Auburn, where he interacted with Coach Bruce Pearl. Upcoming visits include an official trip to Texas scheduled over Thanksgiving weekend and one to Florida State in January, alongside an unofficial visit to Duke planned for November 30.
Several coaches from Duke, Texas, and Auburn have traveled to Lexington High School to meet with Scott, emphasizing their interest in him as a potential key player for their teams. After appointing new head coach Lamont Paris, South Carolina has made Scott a priority recruit, highlighting the potential impact he could have on their roster.
Regarded as a top 30 national prospect, Scott has showcased a remarkable high school career, averaging 21.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 2.5 steals per game during his sophomore year. His performance contributed to the Lexington Wildcats’ playoff run, where they currently hold the top rank in the S.C. Basketball Coaches Association preseason poll. Additionally, Scott earned his second all-state honor last season.
Scott’s journey in college basketball has had its ups and downs. After a challenging freshman season where he averaged only 2.3 points and 10 minutes per game at South Carolina’s men’s basketball team, he briefly entered the NCAA Transfer Portal. Ultimately, he chose to remain with South Carolina, citing a supportive environment and the coaching staff’s plans for his development.
This offseason, Scott has dedicated himself to training both physically and mentally, feeling ready to tackle the challenges of the upcoming season. As one of the few returning players from last year’s roster, alongside Jordan Butler and Myles Stute, he is well aware of the significant changes the Gamecocks are undergoing this year with multiple transfers and new freshmen.
Despite the changes, Scott is enthusiastic about the new talent joining the roster and anticipates exciting prospects for team chemistry following their summer workouts.
