South Carolina women's basketball roster likely unaffected by eligibility ruling

The South Carolina women's basketball team is expected to remain unchanged following a recent ruling that grants 2022 signees the option for a fifth year of eligibility. As of now, coach Dawn Staley's roster will not see additions from eligible athletes. Key players recently went professional, including Ta'Niya Latson and Maryam Dauda, which limits available options. The NCAA's new model provides five years of eligibility but primarily impacts athletes who played four seasons without a redshirt, a category that only includes two players from South Carolina. Additionally, junior Maddy McDaniel stepped away from the program, leaving Staley with a full roster of 15 players. Staley has signed a strong recruiting class for the upcoming season, including Texas transfer Jordan Lee.
