In a massive recruiting coup, the South Carolina Gamecocks have landed one of the brightest stars in high school basketball. On Tuesday, 5-star guard Brooklyn Stewart officially announced her commitment to the University of South Carolina, sending shockwaves through the women’s college basketball world. The elite prospect, known for her dynamic playmaking and clutch scoring, is now set to join one of the most dominant programs in the nation. Stewart’s decision is a major win for legendary head coach Dawn Staley, who continues to cement her status as the top recruiter in the game. With Stewart in the fold, South Carolina’s future looks even more unstoppable. Already a national powerhouse with multiple Final Four appearances and a recent national championship, the Gamecocks just got a whole lot more dangerous. The announcement came via Stewart’s social media, where she posted a graphic of herself in the iconic garnet and black, alongside the words: “Committed. Go Gamecocks.” The post exploded within minutes, drawing reactions from fans, teammates, and some of the biggest names in women’s basketball. The Gamecock faithful, already riding high, now have even more to celebrate. At 5’10”, Stewart brings elite versatility, explosive speed, and fearless leadership to the backcourt. During her junior season, she averaged an eye-popping 23.4 points, 7.2 assists, 6.1 rebounds, and 3.8 steals per game. She’s been torching defenses at the high school and AAU level, dropping jaws with deep-range threes, ankle-breaking crossovers, and highlight-reel finishes at the rim. She’s a game-changer on both ends of the floor, and analysts say she’s the kind of player who can take over a game — and a season. This commitment instantly elevates South Carolina’s 2025 recruiting class into national title territory. Stewart joins a loaded roster and a coaching staff that knows how to win — and win big. With her on board, the Gamecocks aren’t just reloading; they’re preparing to dominate. Opponents, be warned. Head coach Dawn Staley couldn’t hide her excitement. “Brooklyn is the kind of player who raises everyone’s level,” Staley said in a statement. “She’s got the heart, the hunger, and the skill to be special. We’re beyond thrilled to welcome her to the Gamecock family.” Off the court, Stewart is just as impressive. Known for her humility, competitive fire, and relentless work ethic, she fits perfectly into Staley’s culture of excellence. “I wanted a program that would push me, hold me accountable, and help me become the best version of myself,” Stewart said. “South Carolina is that place.” With Brooklyn Stewart officially on board, one thing is clear — the future of South Carolina women’s basketball isn’t just bright. It’s blazing.
