Ready to play Tuesday South Carolina head coach Frank Martin suggested Cooper (undisclosed) will be available for Tuesday's game against Auburn, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Martin noted the Gamecocks will have a full roster, implying that all the players who were sidelined with illnesses or minor injuries have made a full recovery in the nearly two weeks since South Carolina played its last game. Cooper, who wasn't available for the Gamecocks' last game Dec. 22 against Army due to the unspecified issue, isn't expected to be included in Martin's rotation Tuesday.

Available for Saturday's game Cooper will be available for Saturday's game against Florida A&M, according to David Cloninger of The Charleston Post and Courier.

Impact There were doubts regarding Cooper's eligibility for this season, but his inclusion in this game suggests he will be ready to make his debut. He had limited impact in 2019-20, averaging 1.9 points in 27 appearances (five starts) last season.

Presumed eligible for 2020-21 Cooper will eligible to take the floor for the Gamecocks during 2020-21 following the NCAA's decision to grant a blanket waiver for all transfers, Jeff Goodman of WatchStadium.com...

Impact Even though he's available, it seems unlikely Cooper will see much action this season given his limited playing time last year at a smaller school. Still, his presence will provide the gamecocks with more backcourt depth.

Finds home at South Carolina Cooper committed Wednesday to join South Carolina as a walk-on transfer from Missouri State, Wyatt A. Wheeler of the Springfield News-Leader reports.

Impact Cooper bypassed his senior year of high school and reclassified as a member of the 2019 class, allowing him to join Missouri State as the program's top-ranked recruit from last year's cycle. The 6-foot-3 point guard saw an enhanced role as the campaign unfolded due to Tyrik Dixon's season-ending injury, but he largely struggled during his first taste of college ball. Over 27 appearances (five starts), Cooper averaged 1.9 points, 1.1 assists and 1.0 rebound in 12.0 minutes per game while shooting 29.2 percent from the floor. He'll likely have to sit out the 2020-21 season unless the NCAA extends him a waiver for immediate eligibility.
