USC Gamecocks - The Offseason 2025

[JDuro]

Ppl are saying its Alicia Tournebize from France. Very talented, 6-4

Me like if so. Though going to temper my hopes. I have a feeling Storrs is likely in deep contact with her. Just my assumption - no info. Nice block on Okeke.

What do they feed French kids?! I'm continually impressed by these French prospects. There are some freaks of nature over there. Her frame / athleticism reminds me of Breanna Stewart.

I have a different feeling--that she may skip college altogether. We'll have to see what's in the CBA regarding draft eligibility for college players.

Dawn at SEC Media Day podium. She made no opening statement.

To further the Okot discussion:

I'm excited to see Okot play with a better supporting cast; I think she'll have a big year. This is my last year getting season tickets, so I'm hoping for a big year.

She is one of those fringe players that I think could be a great depth piece on a WNBA roster next season when the league expands. I could her getting a look along with a few other former league Gamecocks like Kiki Herbert-Harrigan and Destanni Henderson.

Have those two been playing overseas since leaving the league?

Destanni has been in Turkey and Kiki is in the Premier League playing for Israel.

Destanni has been in Turkey and Kiki is in the Premier League playing for Israel.

Apparently Destanni is in Russia this year instead of Turkey.

Oh thanks for the update! That must be a recent change.

Seems to be. I had assumed she was in Turkey as well until I saw the post.

At SEC media days, Dawn Staley gave the best answer I've heard when asked about the high cost of buying players in today's college game: "They're a lot cheaper the second time around, so I'm OK with letting them go."

That made me lol. I also think it was a jab at our recruiting losses this season -- basically teams are over-promising.

UCLA over promised last year. Maybe U$C too but not sure but my rumour mongers say that’s why their general manager was replaced after her first year

I need me some rumor mongers. Any idea where I can get some? I get bored in the off season.

Makeer's team won the three point shooting contest tonight so maybe she is gonna make me eat my words and shoot great this year.

Saw a tweet suggesting she made her first ten and 20/25, wonder if that's true?

Latson makes First Team All America and 2nd Team All SEC.

 

[JDuro]

Appears WBB/MBB finally figured out how to do this season opening event. Looks like they took a page out of All Star weekend. I went to these events in the past and they were usually unfocused, meandering and felt improvised. I didn't attend but I'll probably do next year's.

Isn’t that funny? I’m not sure that’s ever happened. Also shocked that Joyce didn’t get a single vote. I’m expecting her to contend for conference POY.

 

[Gamecockfan77]

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.

wasn't Joyce First team SEC? Sort of bizarre all around.

Joyce is going to have plenty of opportunity to qualify for the season end team with Kitts out.

Saw some tweeting that had her way up there on efficiency rating national as a true freshman. Strong's monster season kind of eclipsed her, but Joyce had a great debut.

She canceled her TN and SC visits. Announcing next Friday it appears

Jerzy was originally scheduled to come with Vukosa but Vukosa knew for sure where she wanted to go.

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.
