South Carolina women's basketball coach Dawn Staley is set to host five recruits from the Class of 2027 this fall. The early signing period begins on November 11. Among the recruits is five-star point guard GG Banks, who is unlikely to choose South Carolina despite a visit scheduled for this month. Another prospect, Jordyn Palmer, is predicted to choose South Carolina, as she is evaluating multiple schools while considering the Gamecocks' commitment to team play. Additionally, four-star Taylor Brown seems a strong candidate for South Carolina as she is familiar with Staley's legacy. Ashley MacCalla, another highly regarded recruit, may lean towards other programs due to stronger connections.
