Dawn Does It Again! South Carolina Lands Top Recruit Over LSU & Texas

South Carolina just landed G.G. Banks, the top guard recruit in the 2027 class, choosing Dawn Staley and the Gamecocks over LSU and Texas. Trysta and Sarah dig into the commitment—and the bigger question behind it: where do elite guards go to develop for the WNBA? They compare South Carolina and LSU’s track records with guards, make the case for UConn and Notre Dame as “Guard U,” and look at what Banks might need from Dawn Staley’s system. Plus, they revisit Angel Reese’s growth, debate what kind of fan culture women’s sports should embrace, and thank the listeners who helped build Let Her Shoot ahead of episode 100. 🏀 G.G.
