A'ja Wilson

[Cockhornleghorn]

You guys need to get on there and post some comments as Gamecock fans. There are too many UCONN fans on there.

I like to lurk their Lady Vols forum but not enough to register. Nice post this evening by LurkerExposed over there this evening:

A'ja has the chance to be even CLOSER to home, and yet play for a new, upcoming powerhouse at South Carolina. Doesn't UT want Wilson to play as a 4 or 5? Simmons will not want to share her area of the court with Wilson.

Can anyone imagine (for one season anyways) USC rotating 6-3 Ibiam, 6-4 Coates, and 6-4 White, while ALSO playing them along with 6-5 Wilson on the same court at the same time? Then after next season Ibiam leaves, but the others stay and play together for a total of 3 seasons? They'd have to re-write the WCBB rules for that team...

No mention of Aleighsa Welch being there one more year among those playing the post even though she's one of USC's two best players.

Also they look at A'ja as a player at the 5 or 4 position over there. I think she plays mostly 3 here and possibly more 2 than she will 4 which is more along the line of what Wilson envisions.

Too hard to read posts on Vol Nation. All that orange is giving me a headache...

[Cockhornleghorn]

Does anyone know if A'ja got to see the great crowd at the game against Florida?

[Luke Skycocker]

I'm sure she knows about it

I read one article where Dawn was on the phone with a recruit while the team was watching A&M/UK after our game. I hope there is even more of a buzz on Thursday night.

I saw that as well. It's got to be either A'Ja or someone for next year's class

UCONN forum has a lengthy (albeit somewhat sidetracked) thread about the future of WBB if A'Ja chooses SC. I see that cockhornleghorn has made his way over there

Yes, I have to make sure the Gamecocks are represented!

LOL hopefully someone with an "uh" in her first name (A'ja, Te'a, Asia).
Disclaimer: (I highly doubt Te'a Cooper comes here at all but it would be quite a coup if Dawn swooped in and got her.)

Well, Dawn's been doing a whole lotta swooping, lately!

A'ja is the WBCA Player of the Year. Congratulations!

Kaydra was also listed among the 20 honorable mentions. Congrats girls!

With A'ja at the game tonight, and witnessing the crowd and celebration, you gotta think that carries some weight. As many games as she has been to this year, I'm really hoping she has become attached to this team and realizes the potential this team has over the next 3 to 5 years.

If we can make it to the Women's Final Four or hopefully win it all this year, I have to think she would want to be a Gamecock. If we happen not to do these things, I would hope she still would want to be a Gamecock to be the "missing piece". Stay home A'ja! Make us into a powerhouse program year in and year out.

[Cockhornleghorn]

I don't think she would have attended so many games this season if she didn't intend on being a Gamecock.

WTG, Ladies! Hell of a night, everyone.

It looks good, but it could just be because she lives here and are in her final list.

[FearThethumbandDJ]

Uconn fans seem pretty confident they will get her.

I also found it funny that they used the exampe of the football player from auburn(5 star) who waited until after the season to commit to bama so he wouldnt get as much hate.

First off womens basketball is nowhere near the popularity of college football, i doubt anyone would even recognize aja if she walked on Columbia's campus unless you heavily follow recruiting.

She may just be waiting because she truly does know yet or just wants to keep enjoying the perks of recruiting. I dont claim to talk to her every night(like that creepy guy on volnation) so i dont know nor do i claim to. However, i think she does come to USC just because the in state pull will be too much to overcome.

May our WBB team be successful for many years regardless of what she chooses.
