South Carolina women’s basketball five-star player to be transfer to Chicago sky of the WNBA…
BREAKING: Dawn Staley, South Carolina WBB Land Arkansas Transfer Forward Maryam Dauda
After an undefeated run for a national championship, Dawn Staley and the South Carolina women’s basketball team had few questions to answer this offseason. However, one question remained: who would replace
Kamilla Cardoso, who was recently selected by the Chicago Sky of the WNBA with the third overall pick? Carolina, who had minimal starting experience returning to the five-spot, made the decision to search the portal in the hopes of finding a candidate who would fulfil each of their requirements. Maryam Dauda, a rising redshirt junior forward from Arkansas who committed to the Gamecocks on Wednesday afternoon, was the player they were looking for.
Dauda started all 33 games for the Razorbacks last season, averaging 10.1 points, 6.3 rebounds and 2.24 blocks per contest. Against the Gamecocks back on February 29th, Maryam scored a then-season-high 19 points on 41.2 percent shooting from the floor. The Arkansas native also shot 31.9 percent from behind the three-point line on 91 shots this past Winter.
