South Carolina women's basketball inducts two into South Carolina Letterman's Hall of Fame
This Saturday night, South Carolina football coach Shane Beamer will lead his team against the Texas A&M Aggies in front of a sold-out crowd. However, that isn’t the only important thing happening on the field at Williams-Brice Stadium. The South Carolina Letterman’s Hall of Fame will honor two South Carolina women’s basketball all-time greats at halftime.
Two legends, Jocelyn Penn and Tiffany Mitchell, were inducted into the Hall of Fame on Friday. The University of South Carolina will bring them onto the field Saturday as two of nine new Hall of Famers.

[See the Gamecock discussion on The Insiders Forum!]
Jocelyn Penn was a forward who could do a little bit of everything for the Gamecocks. She was a multi-time All-SEC performer and an All-American before playing nearly a decade professionally. Penn owns the single-game scoring record in garnet and black, logging 51 points in a game against Stetson. She also had a 50-point performance for South Carolina. She ranks top 5 in program history in points and field goal percentage and is the all-time leader in steals and steals per game. Her 2002-2003 season is one of the best ever as she averaged 23.9 points en route to becoming a finalist for several National Player of the Year Award honors.
Before A’ja Wilson and Aliyah Boston, Tiffany Mitchell was the most decorated player in South Carolina women’s basketball history. Mitchell made the All-American squad three times and was the SEC Player of the Year twice. The dynamic guard owns the school record for single-season 3-point percentage and sits in the top 10 in career points, 3-pointers, and steals. She was a three-time National Player of the Year Award finalist before becoming a 1st-round pick in the WNBA Draft. She is still playing professionally today.
