I think the OP was just meaning we’ve been used to watching these girls for four years and we know them well and care about them. I could be wrong, but it didn’t appear to be a Deming loom post.. I am going to miss Brea Beal the most.
Hold on a minute. Boston, Amihere, Beal, and Cooke all have the option to come back don't they because of Covid exception? I expect Boston and Amihere to go to the draft, but Beal and Cooke have a strong chance to stick around one more year if their stock to doesn't rise.
This is a little old but it seems to indicate some of these girls could come back.
"2023-24
Eligible Super Seniors: G Zia Cooke*, G Olivia Thompson*, W Brea Beal*, F Laeticia Amihere (RS)*, P Aliyah Boston*
Seniors: G Eniya Russell, P Kamilla Cardoso**
Juniors: G Bree Hall, G Saniya Rivers, F Sania Feagin, G Raven Johnson
Sophomores: Mystery Birdie
Freshmen:
Scholarships: 6-12
Notes: This is the year that becomes a mess. There are five players that could choose to return. You would think Boston is going to be one of the top 3-5 picks, so she would be wise to go pro. Cooke is probably safely a draft pick. Yet you have to keep a spot open for each of them just in case. Amihere and Beal might be draft picks too, or they could project as late picks and decide to come back to school to improve their stock. There is another wildcard: Cardoso will turn 22 in 2023, making her eligible for the WNBA draft before this season, and given her size she could be an attractive pro prospect. South Carolina isn’t the only program in this pickle - 2023 recruits are understandably concerned about being squeezed out, just as coaches are concerned about not knowing how many scholarships they will have."

We have 3 more recruits coming in: Fuwiley, Johnson, and Jah. So really we could lose Saxton, Fletcher, and Boston and still have room for Amihere, Cooke, and Beal. And should some or all of those leave we could hit the transfer portal.
Well, the replacements for Fletcher and Saxton are most likely to be upgrades. But, yeah, we're going miss the 3 4 year starters. But I'm excited to see what the young players can do. Is there a better big in the country than Cardoso returning next year? We'll have a bunch of players who can grab a rebound and initiate the fast break. They should be fun to watch.
I have been a member of the GGC for 50+ yrs, Doomer? Clemson Troller?
BITE ME PUNK !!!!
