COLUMBIA, S.C. — After three years in the USC Upstate program, Brandon Martin and Frank Martin decided the time was right for father and son to spend a little more time together.
Brandon is one of nine newcomers on the Gamecock roster, a roster which looks nothing like the roster from a season ago when COVID caused a trio of work stoppages and caused the head coach and lead assistant Chuck Martin to miss the LSU game.
But Frank is back to 100% health and Brandon is glad that he can be on the court every day watching his dad's return to his normal self. Plus, being able to be with his father on an almost daily basis will lead to memories that will last a lifetime.
A Cardinal Newman graduate, Brandon is looking to make the most of his time in the Gamecock program. With the NCAA allowing athletes an extra year of eligibility, Brandon will have two years left on his scholarship clock.
