South Carolina begins its Repeat Tour on Monday against Michigan in Las Vegas. Join the conversation in the GamecockCentral game thread.

Michigan went 20-14 (9-9 Big Ten) last season and lost in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. The Wolverines are undergoing a massive rebuild. Leading scorer Laila Phelia (16.8 points) transferred to Texas after the season. Second-leading scorer Lauren Hansen, formerly at Missouri, exhausted her eligibility. 

In all, of Michigan’s top seven scorers last season – the seven players who averaged double-digits in minutes played – only guard Jordan Hobbs (9.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 3.0 assists) returns. The rest will be replaced by the eighth-ranked recruiting class. Top-five guard Syla Swords highlights the class, while Olivia Olson is also a top-20 prospect.

“Winston did a great job. We saw EYBL clips, AAU clips, clips from their previous schools,” Staley said. “The worldwide web is right there at our hands and we utilize it.”
