Staley’s Trifecta: Third 5-Star recruit joins Gamecock women’s basketball in just over one week

Favor ain’t fair.

South Carolina women’s basketball head coach Dawn Staley may have a nontraditional approach in this “by any means necessary” era of college recruiting (hi, FBI-investigated schools), but you can’t knock the results.

Last week, top-ranked high school seniors Zia Cooke and Brea Beal made their 2019 commitments to #GamecockNation within days of each other.

Laeticia Amihere, another 5-star prospect, was slated to make her college decision on Wednesday; her choices had narrowed to South Carolina, Louisville, and Kentucky.

The #GHive and Gamecock FAMs awaited with bated breath: Could the magic of Staley make lightning strike a third time?
