Wow! The number 3 player in her class! Either she was incredibly overrated or there’s a story here! Probably one we won’t (and shouldn’t) know but I don’t think this is a particularly good look for a program that is trying to assume the top program title. It’s one thing to lose players who were a bit of a reach or who are developmental players but top 3 players don’t normally transfer after one year.

“A note about Saniya Rivers’ transfer from South Carolina: She’s marked in the portal as ‘do not contact,’ meaning, she knows where she’s headed,” The Athletic reporter Chantel Jennings posted to Twitter.

Couldn't it also mean that she just wants to initiate contact with the schools she's interested in? I've seen several players with that instruction, including Angel Reese if I remember correctly.

They already have Raven coming back and all indications are that the guard prospect they have coming in next year is solid as well, not to mention the transfer they already have added.

So all is not so well in paradise!!!
I thought she had nice moves and great talent!!!!
 
Two experienced guards gone to the WNBA, no guards in the upcoming class. I think it’s safe to say that some guard (Owusu, Lopez-Senechal or Rivers) will be high priority for UConn as seen through Coach Valley’s following.

And eventually the tax man is going to come calling, and most of these athletes aren't prepared for that.
 
I think she'd fit in well at UCONN, likely as a top backup though. I think she'd compete with Ducharme for minutes and would be a top reserve for Fudd/Ducharme. Great athlete, never looked comfortable on the court at SC. Once she relaxes and plays more confidently I think she could be a really good collegiate player.

he could but why would he with the quality of the current and future guards that he has coming in.......? My sense is she's got a plan and UConn isn't a part of it.........call me a curmudgeon but I gotta admit it's refreshing to see something not go South Carolina's way for a change...........;) Of course Dawn will probably sign Fulwiley and Williams or Watkins too just for the fun of it......

Just give them a WNBA team and be done with it.

most Sc fans don't care, if you are a socalled top 2-3 recruit and after one season you feel you can't get the starting job and you quit then I think it's safe to say Dawn won't be losing any sleep.

They’re all overrated until I see another Maya, Diana, Breanna, Tamika or Candance.(sp?)

If she didn't want to sit the bench 1 more year at SC, why would she go to UConn to come off the bench with less playing time? Geno is not as loose with minutes as Dawn is.

Agreed, I dont see it happening but I think she'd be of help to UCONN and has more of a shot to start there than at SC.

Don't forget that she was suspended for 3 games late in the season.

What 2 guards are coming in next year?? Or do you mean 2023?

In a year they will be teammates. Just Like Brady & Patterson right now.

Why bring in a guard who needs a year to be a contributor when you have help for that year, you need help now, for this coming year.

Are we even certain Rivers is a guard. I saw almost nothing of her this year but I did see her some in high school. She strikes me as more of a small forward/wing than a guard. I'm curious what Gamecock fans think of her position-wise.
 
this mighta gone unnoticed but apparently Rivers had a 3 game suspension. Surprisingly nobody ever really mentioned it, was for missing classes.
