Legit But Yet to Commit: Top 10 Unsigned Seniors Throughout SC

The recruiting trail – especially in a talent-rich state like South Carolina – will always be a busy element of the Palmetto State's high school girls basketball scene. Around this time of year, a story can emerge regarding who has yet to commit in addition to who has done so.    While many 2026s have already declared where the next chapter of their basketball journeys will take them, a sizable number of seniors have still yet to make announcements regarding where they will bring their talents at the next level.    For college coaches, there is still time to make those eleventh-hour pitches to a few premier prospects across the Palmetto State. Without further ado, here is a list of 10 premier seniors that have yet to declare their collegiate intentions.     A central figure of the statewide power that is 4A North Augusta, Grant wore the Yellow Jackets colors one more time when she led her team to another state championship in early March against Westside at Colonial Life Arena. A versatile and talented player that can operate either as a guard, a small forward or at the wing, Grant played in all 29 games this past season for the Yellow Jackets. She averaged 12.7 points, 5.1 rebounds, three assists and 1.9 steals per contest throughout the 2025-26 campaign. Grant is set to depart from North Augusta with three state championship rings on her fingers.     Bates' noteworthy career has spanned both South Carolina and Alabama. Her Northwood Academy team was one of the toughest outs of the SCISA 4A ranks and the 16.9 points, 3.9 assists and 3.9 steals she averaged were crucial in the Chargers' run to this past season's championship game. Bates would play in 29 of the 30 games for coach Ginnell Curtis' Chargers and is one of three seniors that are part of Northwood Academy's 2026 graduating class. She was one of two team co-captains for this past season's Chargers and backed it up by leading by example on the court.     Draughn's swan song season at the high school level would see her be part of a solid veteran nucleus for 4A A.C. Flora that got the Falcons to a 16-9 record. Draughn was one of three team co-captains this past season in Forest Acres – all three of which are seniors and are set to graduate from A.C. Flora. The talented two guard for the Falcons played in 23 of the team's 25 games throughout the 2025-26 campaign. Draughn averaged 17.2 points, five rebounds and 2.4 steals per contest. Prior to this season, Draughn played her final AAU season sporting the SC Future uniform and playing on the Under Armour circuit.     There are a number of programs that are in search of a consistent scoring threat from deep that can also play as a guard and at the wing with rebounding capabilities. Hudson will fill that need. She has played at the high school level since she was in the eighth grade and is more than poised for success at the collegiate level. Her high school resume at 5A Division 1 Rock Hill includes winning a state championship at the conclusion of the 2021-22 season. This past season, she averaged 22.2 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 2.8 steals. She also had a big moment recently in the Carolinas Classic when she drained a game-tying 3-pointer late in the fourth quarter, paving the way for South Carolina to pick up an overtime win.     Throughout her high school career, House has maintained an active athletic schedule given she has competed in track and field plus volleyball alongside her basketball achievements. A highlight of her final season with 1A McBee occurred on Dec. 18. The Panthers defeated C.A. Johnson by a final score of 45-35 and House reached the 1,000-point plateau for her career. A product of SC Future, House has landed plenty of collegiate offers – including those from Clinton College, Paine College, Talladega College, Erskine, Voorhees, Morris College and USC-Salkehatchie. One can place House in a team's starting five as either a big or as a four considering how she is a double-double possibility on a game-by-game basis.     Roach's resume will display that she won a pair of 3A state championships at Walhalla and snapped a decades-long state drought for the school. The Razorbacks' latest triumph occurred back in early March as Walhalla prevailed over Keenan at Colonial Life Arena. Roach would wear Razors purple in 26 of Walhalla's 28 games this past season and was the team's leading scorer. She averaged 14.5 points, 4.7 assists, 4.6 steals plus 3.2 rebounds. Roach is one of four seniors that are part of Walhalla's graduating class for 2026. Southern Wesleyan and Columbia International have both extended offers in Roach's direction.     Through the last couple of years, White has been the focal point of what Walhalla has hoped to get accomplished in the interior. She is another of the four 2026s set to say their farewells to Walhalla and White will also be doing so as a two-time state champion. White was another of the three team co-captains for this past season's Razorbacks. She also played in 26 games and would average 11.5 points, 7.8 rebounds and 1.1 steals per contest. Listed at 5-foot-11, one can place White in a team's starting five either as a four forward or at the three.     Richardson's time wearing the uniform of 5A Division 1 J.L. Mann would include a pair of occasions where the Patriots qualified for Upper State championship games. She is among the five seniors that are part of J.L. Mann's 2026 graduating class. This past season, Richardson would average 12.2 points per game. Versatility has been a hallmark of her game over the years with an ability to give a team productive minutes either in the frontcourt or the backcourt. Among the highlights of Richardson's 2025-26 campaign with the Patriots is her reaching the 1,000-point plateau for her career. Richardson was also one of four All-Region players for the Patriots this past season.     Moses has played at the high school varsity level since she was a middle schooler and is set for success at the collegiate level. This past season, Moses was a key reason why the Gators of 5A Division 2 Goose Creek were one of the teams to beat in that classification. The Gators concluded the 2025-26 season with an overall record of 25-3 plus running the table in its 10 region contests plus a 5A Division 2 Lower State berth. Moses played in 26 of Goose Creek's 28 matchups this past season while averaging 10.1 points, 2.2 steals and 1.7 assists. She is one of three seniors set to call it a time as a Gator.     Williams has also been part of a successful nucleus at 4A North Augusta that has continued to ensure that state championships are claimed by the Yellow Jackets. At one point throughout her recruiting journey, she was offered by Gardner-Webb and previously ran with [program_tooltip program_id='713005' first='Upward' last='Stars'] on the Adidas circuit during club ball. Williams would compete in all 29 games this past season for the Yellow Jackets while averaging 7.2 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.8 steals per contest. The 6-foot-3 Williams is one of the quintet of seniors that are part of North Augusta's graduating class of 2026.
