Watkins appeared on WIS-TV on Monday and talked about why the camp is important to her.
“I want to be there for the community, be there for the kids that go to my high school that I went to,” she said. “I love having this opportunity. It’s amazing. These kids look up to the South Carolina Gamecocks and I want them to be able to connect with me on a personal level, not just seeing me on the court.”
