[Carnac]

The three-time North Carolina Gatorade Player of the Year has a new accolade to add to her résumé: 2020-21 Gatorade National Girls Basketball Player of the Year. Saniya Rivers, the No. 3-ranked overall prospect in the Class of 2021, was surprised by Washington Mystics star Elena Delle Donne -- whom she called "the GOAT herself" -- with the award presentation.

Yes. Yes she was......

Congrats to Saniya. I guess if Azzi is healthy and can play 2020-2021 full year, she will win all the awards.

Congrats to her, probably the best athlete in the 2021 class. From footage I've seen she looks like a young Angel McCoughtry. Looking forward to seeing her play in the fall.

Great to see a player from NC get some recognition. Wish she could have stayed in-state, but that's water under the bridge. Little known fact. Rivers shared the NC AP Player of the year award her sophomore year with a player who is currently on High Point's roster.

Johnson winning the Naismith POTY, Rivers winning the Gatorade POTY, Feagin making the USA U19 team. All 4 in the class being McDs All-Americans. A pretty well decorated class, one must say....

Dawn‘s 2021-2022 roster is stacked with talent with 3 of the top 5 players from the ‘21 class coming in. This may be the best group she’s had since coming to SC. I would conservatively suggest that there are at least 3 All-Americans on that roster.

She has the talent. I really think Brea Beal is going to have to compete the hardest to keep her starting role all season.

Congratulations to Saniya on earning this award. She did the work, and now the reward is sweet. Also, congratulations to Dawn Staley on putting together such a highly talented group of young ladies. Overall, the 2021-22 WCBB incoming class is quite talented and us fans will be certainly awed by these athletes’ abilities and talents. I’m anxiously awaiting the start of the season, and I hope you are also.

Dawn probably sent Saniya a video of Paige's exploits against SC and gave her marching orders " don't let her torch us"

Ehhh, somewhat. Seriously though, that is potentially an extremely talented class, even NC level. However, they will face some stiff competition during their college careers from multiple schools.
