Lamont Paris and the South Carolina basketball staff got a good look at Collin Murray-Boyles over the weekend.

On Monday, the Gamecocks offered the Class of 2023 forward from AC Flora after Murray-Boyles took an unofficial visit to the school.

Murray-Boyles had a strong showing at the S.C. Basketball Coaches Association live period event in Rock Hill. Paris and assistant coaches Tanner Bronson, Tim Buckley and Eddie Shannon attended multiple games Murray-Boyles played in this weekend.

This is Murray-Boyles’ first Power Five offer. Some of Murray-Boyles’ recent offers include Belmont, Appalachian State and Wofford. He took a visit to Belmont last week but said this weekend that his recruiting is wide open.

“I have no favorites,” Murray-Boyles told The State on Friday. “I’m all arms out. I’m taking it slow and seeing what will happen.”

The 6-foot-7 Murray-Boyles plans to play his senior season in Wasatch in Utah and would leave for his new school at the end of August. He played this weekend with A.C. Flora as he continues to come back from late-season foot injuries that hurt him late in the playoffs.

Murray-Boyles will play the rest of the summer with Upward Stars SE on the Adidas circuit.

Murray-Boyles had a big junior season in helping the Falcons to the Class 4A state championship. The Class 4A Player of the Year averaged 18.3 points, 11.4 rebounds, 5.3 blocks, 2.5 assists and 2.3 steals per game.
