Dawn Staley and South Carolina have gotten their hands on two of the most promising recruits. First, they secured Alicia Tournebize’s signature, a French star who will join the Gamecocks this season. She is known for her 6’7 height and her ability to dunk. Staley herself confirmed this with a post on her X. She used Shaquille O’Neal’s GIF and wrote, “Yes SIX SEVEN.”
Their second recruit, Jerzy Robinson, is one of the most highly rated players from college. UConn, LSU, and many other schools were after her, but she has now committed to Dawn Staley’s South Carolina Gamecocks.
The No. 5-ranked player in the SC Next Top 100, Robinson announced that she would be joining the Gamecocks. She recently video-called Staley and the rest of the South Carolina team.
Staley screamed “Jerzy” at the top of her lungs as soon as she picked up the call. “What’s up, coach? Congratulations on the win,” Jerzy said. Staley thanked her, while Jerzy continued, “I just wanted to let you know I am ready to be a Gamecock.”
The entire locker room, along with Dawn Staley, lost it and celebrated. The head coach welcomed her with the utmost excitement, creating a chant of her name and banging the walls to make a beat, and then dancing and jumping to it.
