Gamecocks 2025-2026 Season

Seems to me there are several possibilities for how this season could play out for her. She could play immediately, she could practice and just wait for next year, or she could try to be ready if needed and be injury insurance in case Edwards, Okot, Dauda or Tak got injured.

I don't think playing mop up minutes makes much sense to lose much of a year of eligibility. But if in practice she is performing better than Dauda and/or Tac, or is thrown into the potential rotation because of injury, then it seems to make sense for her to play this season, particularly with SC being a legitimate contender.

I suspect that her or Okeke was an either or situation, not both since multiple talented bigs could return next season.

She was going to be a WNBA draft pick this coming year so the year would not be a waste if she plays.

Y'all, this girl is not just 6'4!!!! 🫣🫣🫣🫣🫣 Ain't no way!

For comparison's sake, here's our 4x WNBA M'VP, who is a legit 6'4:

I just read that this kid is 6''7 ???? My goodness. I figured she was like 6'4 or something

The article I cite above quotes Dawn as saying she is 6-7 and indicates that we will list her as 6-7 on our official roster,

The 6-4 usually quoted appears to come from her FIBA u18 listing. I don’t know how old that measurement was. Bourges does not list her height on their roster ( though they list everyone else’s)

She’s tall! I hope she is “wiry”- not skinny.

You have to assume that she is not worried about starting the clock on her eligibility. Given that she has already been a pro, she probably is looking to SC as her "finishing" school before she declares for the WNBA. If she is as good as we hope she is, she might be looking to enter the draft sooner rather than later. She now has two years before she is eligible for the draft again?

She has played 7 games as a “pro” and averages 2 rebounds and 2 points per game.

I do know. And I’m not disagreeing that she likely faces a steep learning curve. That said I don’t think that is an apples to apples comparison. Have to assume she is playing against competition that is better than most college WBB. My comment is that she and her camp might not be worried about losing one year of eligibility.

Now that she’s going to college in the U.S., she has to abide by the usual WNBA entry rules. No WNBA before her 22nd birthday or she graduates college or 4 years have passed since her high school graduation (what we usually refer to as the junior year rule).

She will not be 22 until July 2029? By my math (sorry I was a liberal arts major) that will be four years if she gets the clock ticking this season.

I think so. As far as I know she's currently 18. I don't know her exact birthday. But it's an either/or thing.. so if she meets any of those qualifications I listed in my previous post then she can go to the WNBA. She doesn't have to meet all of them.. just one.

Had she continued playing pro ball in Europe (or anywhere internationally), then she would've been eligible for the WNBA at 20.
