Aren't some of the ESPYs categories based on fan votes? Would think it be tricky to predict who would win some of these categories.
I didn't realize this year's ESPY would basically be a celebration of Gamecock women's basketball coaches, students and alumni. I may have tuned in if I knew that was going to happen.
Who knows? At the same time has it hampered South Carolina?Dont understand these WestCoast kids. Jazzy Davidson has dropped South Carolina from her finalist and added TCU and TX. Jordan Lee picked TX in 2025. Kennedy Smith to USC. Ice Brady to UConn in 2023.
I cannot figure for the life of me why we cannot get a kid from California, Oregon, Washington,
Playing time.Who knows? At the same time has it hampered South Carolina?
I can see that, but again has it really hampered South Carolina in landing talent?Playing time.
Stereotypes off the old South
Dawn did get Tehina Paopao (Oceanside) to switch transfer destinations from TCU to South Carolina after her stint with Oregon. Wouldn’t surprise if the Gamecocks get more west coast prospects to commit over time.Dont understand these WestCoast kids.

We've done well in the midwest for quite a while now, so Tessa J. is really a continuation of that.I think portal transfers are wildly different than high school commits. We've gotten a couple of players from California through the portal but never through high school.
Overall unlike many of the other top programs our nationwide reach of acquiring top talent out of highschool is rather limited. We've only successfully recruited only a handful of players West of the Mississippi River. I am hoping the recent recruitment of Tessa and Adhel is a sign of that changing.
While it hasn't hurt us in recent years, I wouldn't mind getting the best fit players possible to join the team regardless of where they came from.

All types of BBQ matterI know. West coast kids dont want to suffer in 115 degree heat AND deal with mustard in their chopped pork. Who can blame them.
