2024-2025 WBB Team (2022-present)
- Thread starter TN-Gamecock
- Start date
She has not announced a final group. L’ville style of play would be a good fit for her. Here is a link to their recruiting and roster

I would rather see Edwards at the 5 than the 3. She is dominating low post presence with an AMAZING handle for a 4 or 5. Put her at the 3 and her handle is still good for a 3 but not as impressive and she's an unproven shooter. I just don't see her and Strong on the same team, though.

She has it down to 5 finalists, per ESPN: us, the other USC, UCLA, Louisville, and Duke.

Looks like she has taken unofficials to other USC and UCLA and the one official to Louisville. Hopefully we get one too!
I can't verify this because I don't have a Ball Out subscription. But someone on the Tennessee board said back in July that Ball Out said Kennedy is leaning South Carolina with the other USC as her second choice. Since we both are in her top five, I am hopeful that there is truth to this.
I know I’m quibbling, and don’t doubt the truth of the list, but I believe that is an ESPN Speculative list not one released by Kennedy Smith.She has it down to 5 finalists, per ESPN: us, the other USC, UCLA, Louisville, and Duke.

I mean, it states that is her finalist list. Why would ESPN speculate about something like that in definitive terms unless they have some reason to believe this to be true? We've found out about a lot of people's finalist lists with articles like this, too, like last year with Cassandra Prosper and Juju Watkins (and IIRC, Madisen McDaniel this year, too) and they were accurate.
Let me repeat myself, I am not saying the list is inaccurate. I AM saying Kennedy Smith has not released a list on X/Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, or any other social media platform. Nobody is quoting her, just here is a list of schools that are her finalists
Adhel Tac, Justice Carlton, Jordan Lee, Jaloni Cambridge, MacKenley Randolph have ALL posted publicly South Carolina is a finalist.
I can tell you she has already visited us and here is a pic. I Don’t know if it was an official or unofficial visit
Looks like we could still be in it with Sarah Strong.
It's funny, a lot of LSU fans seem convinced Strong is going to LSU. A lot of UConn fans seem convinced Strong is going to UConn. Obviously, they both can't be true. But what if both were wrong?
Yeah I find it funny that lots of people think she’s a silent to UConn yet she has visits planned. I highly doubt she would commit then take visits. Also no mention of NC State which I definitely think will get some consideration from her as well.
I agree, I'd be very surprised if Strong didn't give NC State a good hard look.
WBB needs it's own Forum. I shouldn't have to scroll thru two froums to find the info that I am interested in . How hard could it be to make that happen ? If it weren't for twitter,Instagram info .I wouldn't be aware of anything.
I agree as well. It would generate ten times more posts than this. I appreciate what we have but need more rather than less.
There is strong interest in WBB with Gamecock fans but it is not as broad as FB or MBB or Baseball. I don’t think we merit a stand alone board, but something does needs to change.
This thread developed on the free board and attracted a group that followed our team, the sport of WBB and has knowledgeable and consistent posters.
This thread is an anomaly because it is the best coverage of the Gamecock WBB and it’s on a free board. @Chris Wellbaum does a marvelous job reporting and I am very thankful for his coverage. Alas he posts only on TIF. Posters on this thread post news ahead of Chris because they are very obsessive and Chris doesn’t get paid enough.
That means to get the full scoop and scope of what’s going on, you have to toggle between 2 boards. That is not optimal. Moving this thread to the main board??? Well that kills an established clearinghouse and tradition. It also leaves behind important voices and contributors who are not on TIF. Chris is never going to post his info on this board NOR SHOULD HE. He deserves to be paid for his expertise and work.
What then do we do? Clearly we want more.
The Fighting Gamecock Forum where you just posted is free. You just have to register. I don’t care where we rank our teams, win them all and it all works out!
There is a thread on the Boneyard (UConn) WBB forum that covers SC WBB as well if not better than this thread or any other on any other site. Quite embarrassing. I strongly disagree that SC WBB does not merit a standalone forum.
I am a frequent reader(but not a poster) of the Boneyard and a follower of their Gamecock thread. I am awed by UCONN’s fans passion for the sport of WBB and their pride in the program.
The fact that they have a thread about us honors us as a rival and further shows their dedication to the sport.
But more informative than this thread? Politely, no. Different viewpoint, of course.

Interesting article that polls WNBA players about individual awards
MVP Breanna Stewart comes out ahead with A’ja second. No one else is close.
Best player in 5 years? Take your choice of Gamecocks, Wilson or Boston
Most under rated player, another Gamecock, Allisha Gray.

WNBA Confidential: Players reveal who they think is the future of the league in our anonymous poll
Almost a third of the league answered our anonymous poll. Who did they say is the W's biggest trash-talker? Who's the MVP? Most underrated?

Saw Sania Feagin Sunday coming out of the Dodie. She is a lean mean machine. Shortly thereafter had a conversation with Brad Muller and his assessment of Feagin was, “If she plays good defense this season she will be an All American.” Said she was pretty much unstoppable in practice
Awesome, she has a very aggressive offensive game. We need her to move her feet defend at the 4.
Dawn was at the Camden High volleyball game tonight watching Joyce!
I watched her against Flora a couple weeks. Amazing to think she was playing for Team USA in the world cup and made the all tournament team and here she is playing high school volleyball in SC and not even the best player on the floor. Players who are outstanding in one sport don't always like to crossover to another sport. Not her. She's a true team player and a humble person.
Guarantee you more avenues for expression the more the attention, at least while we are a force. Boneyard is great btw.
She needs to be watching the WNBA for inspiration. Tons of one-on one D in the W. No zone D . You have to be a scorer and play D in the W. An added asset is the 3 ball.Those ladies put up a ton of 3 pointers and make most of them.. So Sania Play D and get yourself a 3 shot .
Mulkey signs 10 year deal for 32M.
My bet is she wears out her welcome before the end of the contract. Going to make for a great decade of SEC WBB.

Sources: LSU, Mulkey agree to record $32M deal
Coach Kim Mulkey, who led LSU to the NCAA title in April, has agreed to terms with the school on a new 10-year contract worth $32 million, sources confirmed to ESPN. The deal will be the richest total contract in women's college basketball history.

Well they def. dont pay her to make non conference schedules. She only coaches and then just asks what schools want free money for a beatdown. She only sends to that request to directional technical junior colleges.Mulkey signs 10 year deal for 32M.

Today Auburn joined The Mulkey OOC Parade of Shame. No games vs top 25. One team that made NCAA TOURNAMENT last season. Second best team on their OOC? Clemson in the ACC Challenge
Texas A&M also, no top 25 games, two games against a team that made the tournament, Kansas and purdue
And how could we leave out Miss St? Surprise… No games vs top 25. One game vs a team that made the tournament last season, Miami, in of course the ACC Challenge.
Running count and it is absolutely pathetic
USC & UT 10 games vs top 25
11 Schools
Ark, LSU, OM, Auburn, Miss St. A&M, UF, UGA, Mizzou, UK, and Vandy 9 games vs top 25

Saw in a post on The Boneyard that Adhel Tac will be visiting Louisville this weekend.
I feel like we will have a visitor or 2 this weekend with there being a home game. Wonder who it will be?

You won't know till they sign (if they do ). Then you will read where she signed and visited in September . Dawn seems to recruit in secret or has asked the media to not report her activities.This is so unlike FB where you read of visits planned weeks in advance
Lots will post pics from their visit on Instagram. The women’s basketball players usually sit in front of my section at the games so I’m going to keep my eyes peeled to see if I see any new faces!
Dawn is secretive about it but doesn’t prohibit recruits from posting about their visit if they choose to.

Actually social media has really changed that somewhat. The coaching staff and media are generally tight lipped about it but social media is where we usually see something. A good example is Sakima Walker, no one knew of our interest of her or her interest in us until one of the other players posted it.
