Chloe Kitts returns to strengthen South Carolina's offense in NCAAW
Summary

Chloe Kitts rejoins the South Carolina women's basketball team for her senior season after missing the previous year due to an ACL injury. Her mid-range shooting capability enhances the team's versatility, which struggled without her last season. South Carolina advanced to the national championship but lacked scoring from mid-range, finishing with 20% shooting in that area during the title game against UCLA. Kitts is expected to play a significant role in an offense that includes established players like Joyce Edwards and Tessa Johnson.
