Ta’Niya Latson has officially joined the South Carolina women's basketball program after committing eight days prior. The 5-foot-8 guard, who led the nation in scoring this season with 25.8 points per game during her time at Florida State, will play her final season with the Gamecocks under coach Dawn Staley. Staley praised Latson's scoring ability and leadership qualities, highlighting her talent in setting up teammates for success.
Latson, a standout player at Florida State, became the third player in ACC history to reach 2,000 career points in her first three seasons and achieved this milestone at a record pace for the Seminoles. With impressive shooting percentages and consistent high-scoring performances throughout her college career, Latson brings a wealth of experience and skill to the South Carolina team. Her addition marks the first official transfer portal move for Staley's squad following the end of the season, as the team continues to navigate roster changes ahead of the upcoming season.
