USC (east) news that doesn't involve Pot

Zambolist Frederick II (also known as Zam or Buck) is leading the Gamecocks on a tear through the incredibly weak SEC. The 'Cocks or Coots (as Clemson fans like to call them) have won 6 of their last 8.

We all remember Zam as the innocent 2 guard thrown into point when Jarrett Jack departed early for the Portland Trailblazers. Zam became the Reggie Ball equivalent in GT bball. His dad convinced him to transfer to his alma mater of South Carolina and the rest is history. Zam's second in minutes now and averages around 16 points/game. I'd say his gamble paid off.

Was Zam right moving to USC? Or did he hurt himself/his team in transferring? Any opinions are welcome.
