BTW Dawn wasn’t upset about her not committing after the game. You can see her smiling about it at the beginning of her press conference. Wasn’t a smack in the face as the rumor has always been that Sarah would announce at the McDonald’s AA game. Ask yourself why would Dawn say “not yet”? For some to make big deals out of other things don’t know why you’d ignore that. The answer is right in everyone’s face but I understand the spirit of debate.

Great takes as always. Wherever Ms. Strong decides to go, she is going to be a special player that helps a program.

Looking ahead after 4 years, which coarching style will benefit Sarah the most. Staley and Geno have two different styles of coarching. What is be best fit for Sarah and her style of play. Wherever she goes I have a feeling the NIL money is also going to follow. She is a smart young woman with supportive parents. She will have an impact wherever she goes.

SC will develop her the best, period. Her parents are from SC, and she wants to play the 3 not Post which she will have to at NC State and UConn. UConn doesn’t even have the numbers either if yall do proper research. With Bueckers and Griffin coming back they’re already at 15 with their 2 from 2024 recruiting. So someone will have to transfer to make space. She also won’t be guaranteed minutes there either so idk why everyone is corroborating this story about SC not being able to give her PT! The girl is #1 y’all really think Dawn isn’t going to play her? She might not start but she’ll definitely get heavy minutes for sure and who wouldn’t want to play with Fulwiley, Watkins, and Joyce Edwards? Those three will be the best athletes in WCBB for the next 3-4 year BAR NONE!!! SC has smacked UConn the last 5 times they’ve played and that doesn’t change even with Bueckers back. NC State isn’t on an Elite level, year they’re having a decent year but majority of their roster are seniors and juniors so essentially Sarah will be playing with nobodies her sophomore year if she chooses them. I don’t think she wants to struggle in College. Yes Juju and Hannah are putting up good numbers but their teams are mediocre compared to Elite teams imo so all the heavy lifting they do will eventually wear them down in March. If Sarah wants to win, get a good education, develop for the pros, and play a Wing position then SC is definitely the school for her.

Can't wait to see, here for the chaos lol

I don't think UConn has a chance right now even with PB coming back, but there's no chance of winning. SC program is difficult to steer from right now. It's that strong. If anyone has a chance outside of SC, it would be NC State. If the phone rings and it's either A'ja Wilson or Aliyah Boston...done deal. Plus, SC has got great depth to use her versatility to where she can play the 3 position behind Bree Hall, and gives them a third post option on the floor at any given time or shoot 3s (which she's very good at).

Eh I think Raven’s energy after the UCONN game gave it away with some of her comments on the future. Dawn said not yet which means eventually, she didn’t have to say anything if she wasn’t confident at all. You really have to understand what position Sarah ultimately wants to play and the development it’s going to take to get there and who is best set up to do it the right way. Can’t imagine she expects to start or have a ton of minutes year one with the direction she wants to go. Remember, her parents were pros.

Poa Poa wasn't on the team. She will be the difference for SC in the post season this year

I'm at 75% confidence , Dawn will have her in the fold , best TEAM will win her over in the end.

Dawn got the coach prime affect. the kid will be there.

SC it's already locked in.

I'm guessing NC State. She can make an immediate impact there, like JuJu at Southern Cal. South Carolina is loaded with tall players, even with Cardosa leaving, she just wont get that much time, although that's the system there. It could also be a team that no one is guessing because the decision is taking so long. Like Notre Dame or Duke.

Jamelle Elliott was actually at her state quarterfinal game for Grace Christian on Saturday night. They won the game big and are now 28-0.

Let’s not forget Geno and his staff has been hot on Sarah’s trail from the start… I’ve read many articles on the staff visiting her games in HS and both her and UConn are showing interest in each other… Sarah has been to UConn on an official visit on first night. She also was at the game when UConn played SC. I believe there’s a reason why she was there for that game and it’s not only because of SC like many people think. I’m sorry, but Dawn came up late in the recruiting process. I believe UConn if of any school in her sights has a good chance of getting Sarah. I believe Sarah knows what she wants to do in college ball, and she will pick the best decision for herself.

I don’t think she will do it until the McDonald’s all American game 😊

Sarah and her parents want great academics and SC's Honor College is #1. Dawn will get her plugged in there just like she did with Joyce Edwards who happens to be one of her best friends. FWIW both of Sarah's parents are from SC and Dawn and her mom played together with the Charlotte Sting.

South Carolina.

South Carolina

Cardoza isn't coming back

It would be dope is she chooses NC state.

I'm thrilled you guessed wrong. I'd hate to be Coach Geno's replacement.

LSU sucked this year compared to what people like you thought they’d be

Beautiful Lady, Mr. Rick 12 ".

Go to UCONN. Anyone that knows basketball, knows Geno is best college bxball coach. Uconn needs, Sarah Strong. With her and healthy team....UCONN is definitely final four.

The fact that UConn continues to have injuries to key players year after year points to a lack of expertise with their strength training program. Ever since they brought on the new strength coach from Texas they have had ongoing injury issues.Geno refuses to address this.If Sarah signs with UConn she will regret it.

SC is the new UConn they gonna likely win the next four championships to the dismay of a whole lot of people 😂

I've heard UNC not Nc State

UCONN to play with Paige and Azzi!!!

I think it’s NC state

Thanks

She's Going to Uconn

She will go to UConn... jmho

I'm not sure how she'll fit in the South Carolinas scheme. She is an offensive player who is not very aggressive on the defensive side of the court....

No argument here. The Lady Gamecocks got the best recruiting class. ‘They beat LSU on their floor and will probably continue to do that for the foreseeable future.

If it was UConn I think she would’ve already chose them. She left that window open for a reason and I think Dawn and SC might of just climbed through. Also her and Joyce are really good friends and Joyce said she’s trying to bring her in as well 👀

UCONNs injury bug is not bad luck but bad conditioning coach and Geno's trying to run his players into the ground!Go back in time and y'all will see what im talking about! Go Gamecocks go ride gamecocks ride!

SC is already a best team so why need to grab other player , they should watch out if they will play against IOWA like last season

Sarah strong go back too SC they are the best so I hope you go with SC.👍👍👍👍👍

Well, time will tell…..?

Unfortunately Sarah has narrowed it down to UNC, DUKE AND UCONN

And some people say Women’s Basketball is boring 🤔

And beaten by Carolina twice this year

Indeed…

How many did SC kick that ass last year?

I could not see Sarah playing anywhere but South Carolina, she would feel right at home under Coach Staley.

Uconn greatness. Thats what UCONN sold back in the day

Please Sarah Strong don't come to UCONN. We have all we need here to win our TWELFTH! Good luck!

Ok I won’t unsubscribe 😊

Like all gamecock fans, I would love to see her don the garnet and black, but the truth is, I'm not sold on all the theories of why she would. To start, if she is looking for development, UConn should be her top choice, not SC. Geno has sent 43 players to the WNBA 11 of which he developed into NPOY. Three are arguably the best to ever play in college and the WNBA. Dawn has only developed 14 total WNBA players and just 2 were NPOY. As for as playing the 3, that's not something exclusive to SC. Because of her skill set, she will be utilized multiple ways wherever she goes, similar to Alissa Pili. Geno doesn't need her to play the post. He already has posts- a 6'6" junior, a 6'5" redshirt freshman, a 6'3" redshirt freshman and a 6'2" sophomore expected to return next season. Regardless of position, he wouldn't be recruiting her if he didn't have a scholarship to offer. For the record, SC has only beaten them 4 of the last 5 times, and only once when they were fully healthy. Additionally, NC State has a 6'3" center and a 6'2" forward. However, if maximizing minutes is her goal, then NC State might be her best choice, especially with her dad having played there. NC State plays in a stronger conference this year than the gamecocks, with 5 ranked teams. SC is the only team ranked ahead of them with less than 3 losses. NC State is about as elite as you will get. But who said she was looking for an elite team? She might want to carve her on path. Fulwiley, Watkins and Edwards may be good athletes, but they haven't won a championship together. Who wouldn't want to play with them? *Answer:* Jaloni Cambridge, Allie Ziebell, Kateryna Koval and Kennedy Smith just to name a few. USC and NDU are in the upper 5% of Women D1 basket ball; that's far from being mediocre and has nothing to do with Sarah's own individual choice. Furthermore, no player does more than Caitlin Clark, yet she didn't look worn down at all when she scored 41 on the gamecocks in her 37th game of the season and has only gotten stronger since. If Sarah wants to win, get a good education, develop for the pros and play the wing, she has quite a few options, and SC may or may not be one of them. †

Sarah allegedly was waiting to see what Paige was going to do. Geno said in postgame tonight they haven’t finished signing for the 2024 class.

She's probably going to uconn or LSU

LSU #1 recruiting class? JuJu was the #1 recruit. 😂😂😂. Only freshman on LSU playing any real minutes is Williams.

I am hoping it is not south carolina or lsu. i hope she goes the clark, or juju route and builds her own thing.

She not coming. They team is too stacked unless there are some transfers.

NC State

Your video is just a sales pitch for SC . So respect to the other great programs. I respect SC program but the sales pitch is so bias.

At UCONN the players are trained to enter the WMBA if they want to. UCONN as a world class University in the tradition of the IVY League Colleges in the are includingn Yale in New Haven. I can't imagine Strong fitting into UCONN and CT basketball culture. Nor can I see her fitting into the Northeast - a lifestyle for most that is closer to NY or Boston culturally and not at all a Southern culture like that of NC or South Carolina. Our teams and our State adore our UCONN teams! And, the reason UCONN basketball has been so successful for both teams is because of the tremendous dedicated fan base here in CT. And our teams almost always mention how much they love the fans that come to their games season after season. UCONN basketball is CT culture. No other State has the history of such a strong fan base for basketball that CT has! They are family to us! We love all of them, win or loose!

LSU still has no depth on there roster Mulkey only plays 7 players

LSU has been struggling in play, but look out tournament time.

No, she won't

I hope she comes to Gamecocks Nation, but I think she's going to go to NC State.

Not for sure but LSU would be a great place 🎉

I just dont see her going to UConn there a few states away from her home state so its between sc and nc State

Whats funny to me is how South Carolina fans say that coaching staff develop players yet they only got 1 star in the wnba over the 17 years coach staley been there..i need south carolina fans to stop the cap..because i dont see much developing..why Dawn has no star PG in the w considering thats her position that she played..😮

Hahaha .....

Had to pick up other teams players that were more developed. Their players couldnt get by Iowa. Underdeveloped shooters. In fact 3 were drafted by the WNBA then cut in training camp.

NC State is the best choice ironically out of them, UConn, USC, and LSU. All 3 of them come with question marks. NC State could plug her in seamlessly at the 4 next to Saniyah, Aziaha, & Madison - and with an already top 15 rated recruiting class? She can be JuJu of the East Coast.

SC isn't home I think she is gonna stay home NC got a girl coming in that is gonna set the women's game on fire.

We don’t care if she goes to the Warriors. LSU fears nobody😅😅😅

Back off Dawn....She is already HOME! (UNC) She wants to play more than 15-20min....

And thanks to the refs

I think SC is definitely out she's not coming to sit on Dawn's bench. Plus Dawn's player rotations are sometimes terrible. She seams to punish her starters to the bench too much. That's what practice is for. You have to let your starters work through shit that builds cohesiveness with your first unit. In the tournament this could hurt SC because other teams let their starters make mistakes and adjust so they might catch themselves at a disadvantage with an opponents polished first team.

Why should she want to play for Dawn Staley i wouldn’t. She needs to play for a team who will respect her and unfortunately Dawn Staley will not give her any respect. Dawn Staley continues to abuse her authority and power. She doesn’t care about her players. Sarah play play for a team that will give you respect because you won't get that from Dawn Staley.

Home is at NC tarheels...

Guess ya’ll can take this down now…🫠
