South Carolina has offered two guards in the 2019 class, with Patrick Williams and Giovanni Santiago both picking up offers from the school.

Williams, a 4-star wing, has already picked up plenty of interest from high-major programs throughout the country.

Since early May, he has received offers from Arizona, Maryland, Tennessee, and Virginia.

According to 247Sports, Williams ranks as the No. 5 player in North Carolina and the No. 56 overall prospect in the 2019 class.

As for Santiago, he currently attends Hargave Military Academy (VA) and most recently played for the Puerto Rico national team during the 2018 FIBA U18 Americas Championship.

South Carolina already has one commitment for next year’s class, with 6-2 point guard Trae Hannibal announcing his decision back on June 1.

Frank Martin and company will return several key players 2018-19 season after Chris Silva, who led the team in scoring and rebounding a season ago, chose to withdraw from the NBA draft.

The Gamecocks went 17-16 overall this past season.
