Statues take time, but USC ready to accelerate this honor for Gamecock greats | The State

South Carolina athletics director Ray Tanner would support erecting a statue of former women’s basketball star A'ja Wilson, but there will be red tape to navigate before that can happen, he told The State this week.

“I don’t know that you would get anybody to say they’re against A’ja having a statue,” Tanner said. “Maybe so but I would anticipate that everybody thinks that’s a great idea. That possibility certainly does exist, but there is proper procedure we will have to go through.”

What will be coming sooner than a statue is another form of recognition for standout Gamecocks of the past.
