I doubt if we would take anything from Missouri.

Blackwell would be an interesting addition to SC....solid player but I'm not sure she'd get much playing time or be a worthwhile pickup for Dawn with the athletes she has in the front court. If I'm Blackwell I'd look long and hard at Louisville, Texas or Maryland. All 3 schools could contend for a Final Four and desperately need help with rebounding.

Barker would make SC beastly since she's very offensively. I think she'd back up Beal her first year but would become the go to player as a sophomore with Boston leaving. As it stands, SC's depth chart is ridiculous as is:

C: Boston, Cardoso
F: Saxton (maybe), Amihere, Feagin, Watkins
F: Beal, Rivers
G: Cooke, Hall, Russell
G: Johnson, Cooper

Almost everyone was a top 15 recruit or McDonalds AA, and all of those players are very tall, long, or athletic.

Defensive nightmares from an athletic and size standpoint. Wish we had a three-point specialist in the bunch. Hope I don't sound greedy.

I dont think you sound greedy considering how poorly SC shot from deep this year besides Henderson/Littleton. It's the only legitimate weak spot for SC.

cooke shot better as a soph. Cooper hit several 3s in the McDonald's AA game, but I thought her shot was pretty line drive so we'll see how it translates in real games. Have Beal/Rivers/Hall/Cooke spend the entire off season working on their perimeter shot and maybe it'll pay off.

Nah. Too far off.

I was thinking she was '23. Didn't realize till I double checked she is '24. Dawn has been recruiting her so long it just seems as if she should be sooner than that, I guess. I feel relatively confident when the time does come, she will be a Gamecock.

Was Lele a freshman on the previous national championship team (i.e. will she have two national championship rings?)?

Ty Harris and Kiki Herbert-Harrigan were both freshmen on that team, and were the last Gamecocks to depart with championship rings. This season's championship was a first for every Gamecock currently on the roster....

‘17-’18 was the year of the injury depleted backcourt. ‘18-‘19 was the Te’a Cooper otc year. Both seasons were victims of poor to mediocre recruit classes in ‘15, ‘16, ‘17 (especially ‘15 and ‘17 :rolleyes:), until the level of recruiting that we are used to now started to take shape in ‘18.

Araion Bradshaw ended her college eligibility at Dayton this season as the last remaining member of the ‘17 NC team in still playing college basketball. A very solid career. Ironically, USC could have really used her in ‘17-‘18.

Many looking at Barker. Of course with the transfer portal, could be someone there. Less like but possibly a ‘24 recruit ready to make an early commitment. Hopeful it won’t be long til it’s known.

Barker has since posted a photo of herself saying it is not her...

Had a feeling the birdie might be someone already on the roster just as Dawn hinted when Kiki and Lele return. Perhaps there is a birdie out there still, (perhaps Dawn will clarify), but it’s quite likely V was who Dawn was hinting at.

EDIT: NEVERMIND. Saw the tweet above right after I posted. :p
 
I'm happy to have Saxton is back but I am a little concerned about who will stay or leave as a result.

It could have been either one of those. Looks like maybe we are done. I can't imagine that Dawn wants another group of 16.

Agreed, all I wanted was an experienced PG. Depending on who may transfer out I could possibly see her adding depth only in that case.

That would be a concern. In the meantime, do you know of any of your post players that have a particular love for cheap tobacco, vinegar based pork bbq, Collegiate Gothic architecture, and the color dark blue? Asking for a needy fan-base.

Hope not....
 
I love that V is back!!!

Kierra Fletcher looks to be exactly what we need as well. She comes from defensive minded team, so I expect her to be a quick learner in Dawn's system. Also her stats seem to be quite similar to Destanni's so I hope she'll seamlessly fill in her role on the team.
 
Fletcher is NICE. I won’t draw any comparison to Henny who is one of a kind in her own right, but with this news and the return of V, SC is now arguably deeper and better (assuming good health, which we can’t assume).

How about a former one. Ladhazia Williams is in the portal. Maybe Lawson can get the best out of her.
