At SEC Media Days, South Carolina head coach Dawn Staley did what she always does best, speak the truth without sugar-coating it. The nine-time SEC champion and three-time national title winner covered everything from recruiting and NIL to leadership and legacy, reminding everyone why her voice carries so much weight in the game.
When asked about the growing impact of revenue sharing on recruitment, Staley didn't flinch. “You lose some recruits in that regard. If it’s all about the money… they’re a lot cheaper the second time around, so I’m okay with letting them go,” she said with a smile.
