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.

- •South Carolina struggled with mid-range shots in the 2024-25 season.
- •Team leader Joyce Edwards scored 19.2 points per game last season.
