good luck in the WNBA

That's downright wrong and would seem to be to not be in accordance with the spirit of the eligibility rules. The University should do like every other power 4 school and sue the NCAA and get an immediate injunction to let Okot play another year.

The NC-double-a$$ holes strike again.

As much as I want Okot back, we should let this one go. Okot can't afford sitting around waiting on the legal system. Mock drafts have her as a 1st Round Pick. I have seen several drafts indicating that the Indiana Fever have interest at #10. The minimum salary in the WNBA will be around $270,000.00 this year. She does not need to take a chance on a lost year.

I bet she would stand to make more from NIL deals here at South Carolina if she stayed. I think we will be ok though with what we have returning (Kitts, Edwards, ect), especially if Tournebize has a good offseason in the weight room. We need to get that girl over to Bernies and get her bulked up a little bit.

Has an athlete lost a lawsuit against the NCAA lately?

I saw on X that she's a probable first round pick. So why would she want to play another year in college anyway?

Okot would probably match the new WNBA minimum salary as a starter in a program like ours. However, she makes nothing if she doesn't play. That is why I say that she shouldn't roll the dice on the legal system to come back here. Her time here was mutually beneficial. It's time for her to move on.
