USC Gamecocks - The Offseason 2025

From what I understand, the South Carolina staff gave her sister a look and decided to not pursue.

Unless we plan to use every scholarship for the first time in memory, younger Kitts should be offered regardless, albeit with an honest “it’s going to be hard for you to make it on the court.”

Thanks for the info.
To be honest, I hope Chloe stays at SoCar, I like how she plays.

Would be really surprised to see Chloe go. She’s got one year left and has been our most consistent player and is thriving here. The second half of her season was on an AA level. I know her BF has declared for the draft, but he’s from Columbia so it just wouldn’t make sense. There’s only been one day of video posted so maybe she wasn’t there today for whatever reason.

That said, who knows what they are thinking these days. :confused::confused:

I think it's just my anxiety getting to me. Fulwiley got me paranoid. :(
 
Tessa’s boyfriend Zac Davis transferring to Memphis. He’s from Orangeburg. Tessa seems good and solid at USC so there’s that.

You ever been to Memphis? It's Beale Street......and then nothing else but trash. It's a very depressing city IMO.
 
Raiding So Cal for the new AC. Wonder how much he played in getting Juju to commit to the Trojans. :p

At least they don't put mustard in their BBQ. ;)


I've enjoyed visiting Memphis. I couldn't live there, too many perspective calories and temptations

I actually like the North Carolina BBQ better since I now live there and have tried it. The friends I have in North Carolina like the mustard type better now. They have switched to the mustard base. Go figure.
 
Chloe is thriving at SC and will likely be a starter + team captain this year. Plus she has complete and total trust from Dawn. The only player on the team Dawn probably trusts more is Raven. Plus Chloe’s parents are ADAMANTLY Team Dawn… even if she wanted to leave, Dad would probably talk her out of it. Lol

You can never say never, but I think Chloe is fine.

That seems odd to me. I know Kylee reclassed but she was a Top 25 HS player in her original class plus she would be a RS freshman so the staff would have plenty of developmental time with her.

Just saw news that Kylee is on an official visit to NC State.
 
Has anyone noticed the shift in discourse surrounding Ta'Niya since she committed/signed? It went from, "it's too bad that Latson isn't getting the attention and recognition she deserves despite her amazing stats! I hope she lands with a team that will give her more exposure" to "well, she's not going to be happy averaging 12 ppg for South Carolina! I think she'll slide down the draft boards for making this choice"--as if we're supposed to believe that playing for a much better coach and with better teammates is somehow supposed to be detrimental to her development.

If Ta'Niya wasn't getting the recognition despite having eye-popping scoring stats and that was enough for her to leave her previous team (to go to a better basketball program), then wouldn't it mean that she's not married to those stats? It's not like this program hasn't ever had 20ppg scorers and hasn't had first-team All-Americans before. :rolleyes: While she may not lead the country in scoring next season (big whoop), she will still be in the mix for conference (in this case, SEC) POY, first-team AA, SEC/NCAA championships, and WNBA lottery pick 2026, etc.--all the things that were in question had she remained at FSU.

Like, do people actually think that Ta'Niya walks around and says, "Hi! I'm Ta'Niya Latson. I led the nation in scoring in 2024-25 at 25ppg!" :rolleyes:

Wendale's resume checks out: former D1 player (EMU), former SEC assistant (Vandy) in 2015-16, subsequent stops at Cal and Southern Cal (started out as a video coordinator at UCLA in early 2010s), a Pac-12 tourney title in 2024 a B1G regular season title in 2025, and [might have been] main recruiter for JuJu Watkins (and Kennedy Smith).

Honestly, he appears to be more qualified than Winston was when he was hired.

Think maybe Dawn is hoping for some help tapping in to that west coast talent. We’ve gotten 2 transfers from there but no freshmen. Maybe Wendale can help with that. We are recruiting several from that area.

Sometimes you’ve got to ignore the negative noise. Why? Because people are always going to have something to say, good or bad. With Dawn Staley as HC, I don’t think the SCAR fans have anything to worry about. The ship isn’t sinking, it’s only very slightly shifted, but that’s the nature of the women’s game now. And this admirer of your program (when you’re not playing my team) believes that everything will be okay. Again, ignore the naysayers.
Have a great summer everyone!!

Sometimes you got to add some negative noise in order to keep the natives in check :cool:
 
Not sure if anyone is in Skim’s discord but according to him Fulwiley asked for back at SC and was denied. This account is usually pretty reliable and one of the few who owns up when off on things.

I heard that (not sure how true it is). If there's any shred of truth to it, then my respect for Dawn reaches levels that I didn't know existed. Either you're "all in" or you're "clearly out". No half-stepping. We've got DAWGS ready to eat. No time to coddle those whose feelings/ego might've been hurt.

Yep saw that as well. I hate that for her but it seems Coach Staley is teaching a lesson here.
