Find out how to meet the Gamecocks on Saturday, plus the latest on the schedule and recruiting.

– In case you missed it, Dawn Staley will be the guest picker on ESPN’s College GameDay on Saturday. Staley has participated in the basketball version of ESPN’s flagship show, but never the football edition. Her first appearance will be at 10:50. She will return at 11:40 to make picks.

– The women’s basketball team will also sign autographs in the Gamecock Village from 9:15-10:00 on Saturday morning (weather permitting). Autograph cards will be provided.

– At halftime, the Gamecocks will be honored for their SEC and national championships.

-On Thursday, South Carolina announced it will play its exhibition game at Memphis as part of the St. Jude Tipoff Classic. The game is part of a doubleheader at the FedEx Forum following a men’s game between the Tigers and North Carolina. 

The doubleheader serves as a fundraiser for the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, with 100% of proceeds going to the hospital. Last season, South Carolina also used its exhibition as a fundraiser, then in honor of former assistant coach Nikki McCray and her fight against breast cancer.

South Carolina owed Memphis a return game this season after hosting the Tigers in 2022, and it was stipulated the game would be at FedEx Forum. The game is on October 15 at 9:30 pm and will be streamed on ESPN+. Tickets go on sale on Saturday.

– Divine Bourrage, the fifth-ranked prospect in the 2025 class, committed to LSU this week. Her other finalists were South Carolina, Virginia Tech, Illinois, Baylor, and Arizona.

– Sania Feagin played well in Team USA’s first two games at the 3X3 U23 World Cup in Mongolia. The United States won both games 21-14, beating Japan and Italy. Feagin had seven points against Japan and six against Italy to lead the Americans in scoring. The next games are Saturday morning against Spain (5:45 ET) and New Zealand (7:35 ET).
