There was some uncertainty, but on Tuesday Dawn Staley confirmed what most expected — South Carolina women's basketball forward Alexis Jennings will return to the Gamecocks for her fifth collegiate season in 2018-2019.
Jennings averaged 11.4 points and 6.6 rebounds per game on 58.3 percent shooting this season for the Gamecocks, her first year on the court for USC after transferring from Kentucky after her sophomore year. She sat out the 2016-2017 season under NCAA transfer rules but practiced with the team.
After USC lost to UConn in the NCAA tournament in March, Jennings was asked if she had made a decision about her future and said that she had not.
