Yup, Mikesell. Destiny Henderson's days are numbered in Columbia.

Mikesell is definitely not a Staley-type PG. More of a 2/3 probably.

Hmmm, ok. That's your opinion. I stand by my original claim. The backcourt is also filling up in Columbia, I'd be surprised if all of them (not counting the 3rd stringers) end up staying.
 
Mikesell would have to sit out a year. She would replace the Gamecocks’ lone graduate Lele Grissett‘s spot. Dawn is pretty excited to have Destiny Littleton eligible.

Henderson is the likely starter at point this year. Not sure why she would leave. Zia played point very little this year. Henny has been groomed for that spot.

Your claim isn’t even logical. SC only has 9 scholarship players next year and 4 are considered guards. Of those 4, two are upperclassmen. There is plenty of room and playing time hence two pickups. I doubt both are guards and they both might be class of 21’ anyway. Henderson is definitely a mainstay in Columbia. She will be a big staple for her team these next two years.

This place would explode if it was Fudd. Lol

But I think it’s Mikesell and a ‘21. Either Johnson or Feagin. Just a guess.

Well, either would be +'s on the short or long end of the recruiting scale, no? ;)

With all the action out in South Bend, I have not really thought about where some transfers might end up (if the weren't a match for old or new regimes at Notre Dame). And Mikesell, who I did and still like a lot, is one of them. While she can handle the ball, I agree that she's probably better suited for the #2 slot and could give Dawn something I think she could use: a spot-up sharpshooter, who could keep half-court defenses from collapsing on Boston in the lane and be devestating as the trailing wing option on fast breaks.

I never really thought about SC as an option but it kind of makes sense: Mikesell left a program that was threatenng to reach a final four (and she was one of the reasons). She's either going to look at a team with a similar vantage point (and there's not really that many of them); and/or a place that will allow her to flourish due to their approach. One that can do both: bingo. Stay tuned.

(BTW, before reading these posts on SC, I had these schools mulling in my head: Indiana (who has done well with transfers), Iowa (she and Clark could be a great pair), Marquette (Megan Duffy was also an Ohio prep star who runs an upbeat offense), DePaul (bombs away!) and Boston College (ascendant young coach)).

Looking at Teonni Key and Brooklynn Miles to TN as well. Not sure when the announcement will be but that is another prediction.

Miles and Puckett both have on Twitter from skin hoops going to TN. Will be interesting to see if TN will take 5.

TN also in the mix for Morasha Wiggins, Bree Hall and Jasmine Shavers.

She just recieved her offer from Texas last week; assuming she had a relationship with our new coaching staff while they were at MSU; has never visited Texas. I'm thinking she she ends up at Kentucky.

With MSU and Texas both in the top 7 it makes Vic's case very strong for her talents. I see where shes facing though and it seems verrry creative !

Do you have insight or just a prediction? I think we’ll definitely take 5 in this class. Question is if we would take 6.

This is the first real recruiting cycle Kellie has had—she could use this class to set the foundation of how she wants to run her program. But of course a big class makes numbers tight.
 
I'd love to add Mikesell's shooting to help space the floor for Boston, but I'm not sure the depth chart makes sense for her, particularly given that she's expected to sit out as far as I know.

after her sit out year, she'd be looking at 4 upperclassman guard/wings returning plus Eniya Russell plus another recruiting class.

After Dawn's tweet this morning I think it's two 21's.. Mentioned players signing in the fall.

If it’s Feagin what do you think will happen with Amihere?, who will likely keep her same position on the depth chart, Boston’s backup.

By the time Feagin would arrive Amihere will be a junior and starter. I think Sania will be the replacement for Herbert Harrigan and whatever big we target in 22’ will be a replacement for Saxton.
