Staley announced she would look for a guard in the transfer portal....
“Obviously we want healthy bodies, we want bodies that help us check off some of the goals that we’ll have as a team, so we’re not really looking for a transfer that has to sit out,” Staley said.
Specifically, Staley said the Gamecocks might be most interested in acquiring a guard to help replace the transferring Te’a Cooper, while also balancing the growth and depth of the highly-rated incoming freshman class.
“We’re selective in who we’re going after because we have a pretty good group coming in and people have to understand that. I don’t lay it out, I don’t lay out our depth chart, I don’t lay out how we see our players in the future, and I do that periodically throughout their careers. Some may like it, some may not like it, but I try to paint a picture that’s realistic in how individually things play out and how I think overall it shapes our team,” Staley said. “Obviously guard play is something that we lost and we got to somehow fill a void, fill a void that we need, so we’ll see how that plays out in the next few weeks.”
