Yes, my Gamecocks will need a Big or two in this next class. Boston and Cardosa will be gone by the time this class shows up. Of course, I might add: WHO DOESN'T? need a big or two?"

Fortunately, it appears 2024 has a much larger than usual class of bigs.

Who is recruiting whom?

Favorites you school has offered or is following heavily?

Texas has received multiple unofficial visits (including 2-3 games this season at home) from Justice Carlton, and at least one unofficial visit from Adhel Tac.

Arianna Roberson had older sister play volleyball at Texas, and sister play hoops at Texas Tech. Not sure about any unofficial visits she may have taken. Texas volleyball coaches following her on Instagram.

I'd love to get Blanca Thomas and Joyce Edwards. I think that would keep the tradition of a dominant interior at South Carolina.

We’ve offered Edwards, Thomas, Koval, Strong, Ume and Hobbs.

Hobbs recently released a top 5 that doesn’t include SC.

I would love for us to get Thomas and Edwards or Strong. We are going after Ume heavily also though.

Thomas, Strong, and Edwards would be nice in the royal blue. Duke seldom gets recruits from the Carolinas... We need to start with those three.

Don't be like that.

Don't be like that.

Don’t start now.

How did I forget Fournier.. she has a SC offer as well. I see her more as a power wing though.

I'd prefer Tac to Thomas personally. We were on her list at one point. But that is just based on UA all classes game.

I was thinking about this.

From my memory, Duke's big-name recruits from North Carolina were Chante Black, and Joy Cheek (both signed by Gail Goestenkors) and, more recently, Mikayla Boykin and Azurá Stevens (signed by Joanne P. McCallie, though Stevens transferred to UConn).

From South Carolina, the biggest name was Keturah Jackson (signed by Gail Goestenkors).
