A true Gamecock, Branden Conrad embodies what it means to "bleed Garnet & Black." A member of the USC basketball team from 2006-2009, Branden not only guarded the likes of Tre' Kelly and Devan Downey every day in practice, but also carved out a role in the lineup on his way to helping secure an SEC Eastern Division title.
