Where Do South Carolina's Seniors Stand On The WNBA Draft?
Dawn Staley and the South Carolina Gamecocks are about to undergo an offseason full of uncertainty for the first time in several years, as with each member of the historic 2019 recruiting class being seniors this past season, they now have the option to move on from Columbia to the next stage of their basketball career or their life in general. The WNBA Draft Declaration deadline is an eccentric contrast because while it's uniformly applied to all programs, the timepoints vary greatly, as the deadline for draft-eligible players is 48 hours after they play their final game of the season.
This means that for the Gamecocks' senior class, around midnight on Monday morning was their official deadline to declare whether or not they were wanting to go pro. With this bearing in mind, here's what we know to this point on each of South Carolina's seniors:
Forward Victaria Saxton: Has no college eligibility remaining.
Guard Kierra Fletcher: Has no college eligibility remaining.
Forward Aliyah Boston: Officially declared for the WNBA Draft this past Saturday.
Guard Zia Cooke: Has one year of eligibility remaining, but has yet to announce her decision.
Guard Brea Beal: Has one year of eligibility remaining, but has yet to announce her decision.
Forward Laeticia Amihere: Has one year of eligibility remaining, but has yet to announce her decision.
Guard Olivia Thompson: Has one year of eligibility remaining, but has yet to announce her decision.
Center Kamilla Cardoso: Cardoso is technically eligible for the WNBA Draft as she meets the minimum age requirement, but she isn't expected to go pro.
