The South Carolina Gamecocks have landed the top-ranked player in the women’s basketball transfer portal — Ta’Nyah Lotson. The elite guard, who was widely considered the most sought-after transfer in the country, has officially committed to joining head coach Dawn Staley’s powerhouse program. Lotson’s decision sends shockwaves through the NCAA women’s basketball landscape and immediately boosts the Gamecocks’ championship aspirations.
Lotson put up eye-popping numbers last season, finishing as the nation’s leading scorer with an impressive 25.2 points per game. But her game goes well beyond scoring — she also averaged 4.6 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 2.2 steals, and 0.5 blocks per outing, showcasing her all-around impact on both ends of the floor. Her dynamic presence and versatility earned her Second Team All-American honors, solidifying her reputation as one of the most complete players in the college game.
Before her college stardom, Lotson was already on the national radar as a McDonald’s All-American during her high school career, which only adds to her impressive resume. Her move to South Carolina signals her desire to compete at the highest level while being part of a program that’s become synonymous with excellence.
Coach Dawn Staley now adds a proven scorer and floor general to her already loaded roster, further strengthening South Carolina’s status as a national title contender. Lotson’s commitment not only reinforces the Gamecocks’ dominance in recruiting but also underscores the growing appeal of the program for elite talent looking to make a major impact.
