USC Gamecocks - The Offseason 2025

[darrell]

Being a point guard and choosing Close over Staley is….. something.

Congrats! Is Fagan looking at UCLA too because I’m going to flip every table in my house if she also goes there.

Nope, but the other LA school is who you should be worried about regarding Fagan. Texas, SC, USC are her finalists and she seemed to form a good relationship with Jazzy Davidson and Saniyah Hall during U19.

Simmer down big fella ... It's only recruiting 😏

That didn’t take long. Sorry, friend. @SCGamecock At least you have one! We’re still waiting on our first.

TABLES ARE BEING FLIPPED

I’m so sick of these California schools! 😂

Well, we will see if gotttlieb can coach one up. Fagan has a load of potential and raw talent. She ain’t no guard though. Can Lindsey turn her into a forward? Pro level in 4 years?

Dang. We're striking out this recruiting year. I think we're going to have to rely heavily on the portal and hope that our luck changes with the 2027 class. Assuming nobody transfers this is what we'll have next year:

5: Tac, Andrews
4: Watkins, Edwards
3: T. Johnson, McDowell
2: Makeer (?)
1: McDaniel

We'll probably want 2-3 guards (one must be a a PG), and a forward out of the portal.

Fagan committed to SoCal yesterday

Other than Coach Staley- our staff is not connecting with any players. When we almost lost Joyce to LSU was the first red flag.

I certainly will be. Rickea Jackson and NaLyssa Smith were two of my all time favorite recruits I really hoped would come to USC who I peripherally watched the next four years as they flourished elsewhere. Fagan’s skill set reminds me of Rickea and the way she talked about playing defense made me that much more exited about her possibilities.

Lots of recruits mention coach Law too

 

[Creature]

Yes 5yrs ago. Last recruit Law Law led on was Tessa Johnson

Well, no. She also was the closer in getting Maddy and Ayla.

We are in Kaeli Wynn’s top 2. She’s deciding between us and Stanford. #17 ranked Wing from Cali.

Lola Lampley will visit in the next two weeks. #29 ranked Wing from Indy.

Jerzy Robinson #5 and top ranked guard will visit next weekend.

Vukosa is probably out with us getting Kelsi Andrews.

The 2027 class is loaded so if we miss out this year and reload with the portal we should be okay. It’s definitely not looking as bleak as the 2015 and 2020 classes did.

I, for one, never, never, ever counts CDS out.

Still likely a Final Four caliber roster if Watkins is healthy. Watkins/Edwards/Johnson is a 3 headed monster.

Not sure about that.
