USC Gamecocks - The Offseason 2025

[JDuro]

I never saw evidence that Lola Lampley visited on the 16th as was reported to be scheduled.

But it does look like Jerzy will at least visit this weekend which is nice I suppose.

Just in time to finish as her second choice. 😏

So folks, what do y’all say?

Should we close this thread in the next few days and open a “ Gamecocks 2025-2026 Season” thread or do we wait until after the UNC scrimmage when the season really starts?

First exhibition is Friday so that is a good starting point to me.

Makeer is a fantastic three point shooter, so it's highly plausible. I've already gone on the record to say that I think she'll be a "3 and D" type of player as a freshman. It's the other aspects of her offense that I think will suffer as she gets acclimated to the physicality in the SEC.

I read that Tessa made 17 and Makeer made 22

What does that mean?

What does that mean?

22 points in the contest. 5 racks of five with money balls. Max pt total of 30.

I think makeer hit 20/25 shots per what I saw on Twitter but maybe not.

What “ contest?”

What “ contest?”

The three point shooting contest at the coed basketball event this week.

What “ contest?”

USC is starting a new tradition called Garnet and Black Madness as a precursor to the season. It basically followed the same formula as the WNBA All-Star weekend, so they had a men's and women's 3 point contest and skills challenge and the men had a dunking content. It ended with a concert.

Here is a fan recording of some of the events. Unfortunately, they didn't capture the entirety of the 3 point contest:

Starters for the exhibition game confirmed:
R. Johnson, Latson, T. Johnson, Edwards, Okot

Our first exhibition game against Anderson is being played tonight at 7 pm. There is no TV or radio, so you'll have to be there in person to watch. The above YouTuber, Aisha Travels, has been known to record parts of the games and upload to her channel, so I am crossing my fingers she will be at the exhibition game.

I wonder if gamecocks on line will have live stats?

My biggest question is :!what chemistry will Raven and Okot have this season? Stats won’t really answer this question. Chemistry is something that requires an eyeball test and I won’t be there to see their interplay

REMINDER: I’m going to open a “Gamecocks 2025-2026 season” thread in the morning and @HuskyNan will probably close this off-season thread around that time.
