USC Gamecocks - The Offseason 2025

[TC22]

2026 #1 recruit Saniyah Hall visited SC this weekend.

 

[GamecockFam]

Looks like we'll have plenty of Gamecocks in the league with a mix of bench and starters.

LA Sparks - Sania Feagin
Seattle Storm - Zia Cooke
Chicago Sky - Kamilla Cardoso
Las Vegas Aces - A'ja Wilson, Tiffany Mitchell
Indiana Fever - Aliyah Boston
Dallas Wings - Ty Harris
Atlanta Dream - Allisha Gray, Tehina Paopao

Am I missing anyone?

BTW the above list would make a great All-time Gamecocks two deep.

PG - Harris, Paopao
SG - Mitchell, Cooke
W - Gray
F - Wilson, Feagin
C - Boston, Cardoso

Fingers crossed for Feagin as we wait for the Sparks’ final cut(s). Congrats to the other 8 who appear good to go. Still sad about L.A..

Sania Feagin made it!

 

[SCGamecock]

Sania Feagin made it!

With some focus she’ll be a way better pro player than college player.

Somebody choppin’ onions in here?

 

[Gamecockfan77]

So happy for Feagin and Pao but especially Feagin!

 

[TC22]

Feagin is such an insanely likeable young person. She is all about the right things. She’s a terrific offensive talent and may be able to showcase it because she won’t be a traditional 5. She should fit right in with what the Sparks want to do.

I just love Sania's game. She brings a lot to the LA Sparks. Get with the right trainers and she could have a long WNBA career. Heck a long hoop career. She has that gift!!

My lord, JaMeesia Ford last night at the SEC Outdoor T & F Championships. Only a sophomore and already an absolute generational talent. So amazing and dominant. Her name should be up there with A’ja, Rogers, and other Gamecock greats.

I thought y’all might be interested that Dawn was on the PBS Newshour last night. She’s making the rounds hawking a new memoir/autobiography. Amna Nawaz interviewed her for 5-10 minutes at the end of the show, it’s definitely worth a watch.

Basketball legend Dawn Staley reflects on successes and challenges in 'Uncommon Favor'

Dawn Staley is a woman of many titles: five-time WNBA all-star, Olympic gold medalist, head coach and now an author. In her first book, Staley reflects on the lessons that made her who she is today. Amna Nawaz spoke with Staley about her love of basketball and her new memoir, "Uncommon Favor...

Dawn was also on Stephen Colbert earlier this week and I thought her interview was insightful. Good sense of humor, especially when sharing the story of how she was hired at Temple.

She’s been on Good Morning America, The View, Stephen Colbert, The Breakfast Club….she’s making the rounds. The book is very good BTW.

Piggy backing on UCLA??? Geez....that seems strange.

I'm no UCLA fan. I'm just reporting the news. Kinda slow around these parts (thread). Brutal way to lose on Saturday. Great season nonetheless.

Sadly, that game ended with a leadoff walk and a 2 out, walk off HR. Deja vu happened to Tennessee today up 3 to 1 against 4x defending champion Oklahoma. The LV’s also walked the leadoff batter and OU ended it with a 3 run walk off to deep center. Bad things usually follow when you walk the leadoff.

I was following that game on the ESPN tracker and was thinking y'all were headed to the world series ( for maybe the first time) then boom.

In a way, you can thank Duke for your new softball coach.

Could take a leap. Looked much more comfortable back half.

Crowded in the frontcourt though.

If they could add trades to college could get a little better roster balance, but I'm ready to see.

Would seem to me that Madina Okot's two years at a Kenyan university without NIL opportunities are clearly analogous to those denied NIL opportunities in JUCO, but it is discouraging there are no reports the point has yet been made to the NCAA.

I pretty much assumed she would have multiple years despite the "Junior" classification at MSU, but our compliance department has long been much more deferential to the NCAA's interpretations than is healthy for a school that takes athletics seriously. Need to get on this.

[GamecockFam]

I'm glad she was given a second chance!

 

[cancontent]

Haven't listened to the entire podcast, but this tidbit was interesting. I like Coach Staley's perspective on impact.

Boston and Cardoso lead the WNBA in field goal percentage. In last night's game, those two led the WNBA in daily scoring. Kamilla is leaving to join her Brazilian national team tonight for the WNBA break.
