Kaleena Smith: The Next Dawn Staley / Is a 10th grader the best player in the country?!

In this edition of Gamecocks Talk with Captain Will, I present the latest updates and insights on the South Carolina Women's Basketball team, including the newest recruits.

As three-time NCAA National Champions, the team is preparing to defend their title in the upcoming season.

In today's episode, we will discuss:

- The potential of Kaleena Smith being the best high school basketball player while only in the 10th grade.

- I will compare her to Aaliyah Chavez, Jazzy Davidson, Sienna Betts, Jerzy Robinson, and Jacy Abii.

- I will also evaluate her game against that of Dawn Staley, Zia Cooke, Hannah Hidalgo, and Destanni Henderson.

Women's basketball is constantly growing and evolving. NCAA Women's Basketball and the WNBA continue to be fan favorites for their captivating style! The women's college basketball season begins with a game against the Michigan Women's Basketball team in Las Vegas on November 4th.

Under the leadership of Head Coach Dawn Staley, the team features dynamic players such as Raven Johnson, Bree Hall, Chloe Kitts, and Ashlyn Watkins, with bench support from MiLaysia Fulwiley, Tessa Johnson, and Sania Feagin.

Newcomers Maryam Dauda, Joyce Edwards, Maddy McDaniel, and Adhel Tac are anticipated to enhance the team's performance this season.
