Dawn Staley reacts to USC Hall of Fame induction for former WBB star Tyasha Harris

The newest members of the University of South Carolina Association of Lettermen’s Athletics Hall of Fame were officially enshrined on Nov. 5. Among the illustrious 2026 inductees — which included Steve Spurrier and a pair of national title- winning baseball teams — was former Gamecock women’s basketball star Tyasha Harris. “It means everything to me,” Harris told reporters Nov. 5. “I can remember when Coach (Dawn) Staley was telling us when we’re young, you’re gonna have to leave a legacy at some point, and I feel like this just stamps it for me.” The Noblesville, Indiana, native was a four-year letter winner for Staley’s program from 2016-2020. Harris played 139 games for the Gamecocks and started in 127 of those. “I’m happy for Ty,” Staley said Nov. 6. “I think a lot of times that when people get inducted, it’s the known, the well-known names like [A’ja Wilson] and the people who actually have the household names. When Ty gets in, [it] means a little bit more to me because she was an unsung hero for us.” Would the freshman version of Harris ever envision herself being a member of USC’s athletics hall of fame? “Honestly, no,” Harris said. “I

Social media reacts to Texas A&M's 17-9 loss to South Carolina

Texas A&M football's offensive struggles continued Saturday as the Aggies fell 17-9 to No. 21 South Carolina at Williams-Brice Stadium. They failed to score a touchdown for the third time in SEC play this season. The loss leaves Texas A&M (4-5, 1-5 SEC) needing two victories in its final three games to become bowl eligible. Despite another disappointing offensive performance, Texas A&M had opportunities to pull off the road upset. The Aggies entered the fourth quarter leading 9-7 behind three field goals from kicker David Olano. However, South Carolina scored 10 unanswered points in the final quarter, including a 41-yard touchdown run from quarterback LaNorris Sellers to secure the victory. Quarterback Marcel Reed completed 25 of 43 passes for 251 yards, while running back Rueben Owens II rushed for 137 yards on 19 carries. Despite moving the football, the Aggies couldn't finish drives in the end zone. Texas A&M's defense kept the game competitive, but the offense's continued struggles proved costly. With another SEC loss and the team's postseason hopes hanging in the balance, frustration surrounding coach Mike Elko and the Aggies continued to grow across social media. Here's how the internet reacted to Texas A&M's loss to South Carolina.

LaNorris Sellers injury update: South Carolina QB returns after hurting ankle

LaNorris Sellers left South Carolina's game against Texas A&M on Saturday, Nov. 7, with an ankle injury, but returned for the second half with limited mobility after receiving x-rays. The star quarterback left during the second quarter after taking a sack and fumbling. He left the field and briefly entered the injury tent before entering the locker room with a trainer. REQUIRED READING: Arch Manning golden as Texas gets huge CFP boost in win at Missouri “We’re concerned, he’s got an ankle right now," South Carolina coach Shane Beamer told ESPN at halftime. "Taking an X-ray on it, don’t know the results of that right now.” Norris later returned at halftime. The third-year starter has been fantastic during the Gamecock's three-game win streak and is coming off a five-touchdown performance in a 42-25 rout of Oklahoma in Week 9. Sellers entered the game with 1,849 passing yards and 22 total touchdowns to seven interceptions. Beamer said he has confident in backup quarterback Cutter Woods, should Sellers' injury persist. “We have a lot of confidence in Cutter Woods," Beamer said. "He’s our backup. Total confidence in him.

How Chloe Kitts, Ashlyn Watkins played for Gamecocks in first game back from injury

Two South Carolina women’s basketball stars made their official return to the court on Monday. Both Ashlyn Watkins and Chloe Kitts played in their first games back from respective ACL tears in South Carolina’s season opening win 101-93 vs. Maryland in Paris. While both played in USC’s exhibition, Monday’s game was their first taste of a real game in quite some time. Watkins hadn’t played in 666 days since tearing her ACL vs. Mississippi State on Jan. 5, 2025. The tear caused her to miss the back half of the 2024-25 season. Watkins also sat out the 2025-26 season. Kitts hadn’t played in 575 days. Her last game was South Carolina’s national title loss to UConn on April 6, 2025. Kitts tore her ACL last year in October just before the start of the 2025-26 season. Rust was expected with such a large gap of time, and Dawn Staley saw some when both Kitts and Watkins played in the Gamecocks’ exhibition win vs. Benedict on Oct. 23 . That said, Staley already saw signs of the rust being shaken off in the season opener. “I thought they did great,” Staley said. “I thought they really didn’t look all that rusty,
