South Carolina women's basketball: How Gamecock targets fared in the updated Rivals recruiting rankings

Rivals updated its 2026 women’s basketball recruiting rankings on Wednesday, and some Gamecock targets are on the move.

Forward Oliviyah Edwards and post Olivia Vukosa flipped places. Vukosa is now fourth and Edwards fifth. South Carolina is a finalist for both players, and Edwards will take her official visit to Columbia the weekend of September 19. Vukosa has not set a visit.

Jordyn Jackson, who recently committed to Maryland, moved up to eighth, while Brihanna Crittendon dropped to ninth. Crittendon has a Gamecock offer.

The rest of the top ten stayed the same. Jerzy Robinson is ranked third. McKenna Woliczko, who took her official visit to South Carolina at the end of June, stayed at sixth. Trinity Jones, who has a Gamecock offer, is seventh.

Lola Lampley, who picked up a Gamecock offer this summer, dropped a spot to 18th, while Amari Byles moved up to 19th. Kelsi Andrews is 20th. 

Emily McDonald, who was offered by South Carolina this summer, dropped from 36 to 49. Conversely, she was one of ESPN’s biggest risers of the summer.

One of the biggest risers was point guard Aaliah Spaight. She was ranked in the 70s before the summer, but after picking up offers from South Carolina, LSU, and other powers, the Las Vegas native jumped up to 50th.
