SC Recruiting Notebook for 6/22

With the June camp month's live period in the rear-view mirror, one would expect the previous week to be a very active one on South Carolina's recruiting trail.    Indeed, it was. Many offers were extended to some of the best and brightest in the Palmetto State even before the previous weekend when the whole of South Carolina's high school girls basketball realm made its annual trek to North Augusta's Riverview Park.    A great deal of the programs that extended offers in the direction of prospects from the Palmetto State were also on hand at South Carolina's Riverfront for the month's live event. Here is the latest from the always active recruiting trail across the Palmetto State.     The beginning of the week was very fortunate on the recruiting trail for prospects representing the defending 5A Division 2 state champions. Levey, a formidable interior presence for Berkeley secured her first offer courtesy of Spartanburg Methodist at the beginning of the week. She is a multi-sport athlete who has also played volleyball throughout her athletic career. Once June is in the books, she will resume her final travel schedule with [program_tooltip program_id='783909' first='Palmetto' last='76ers/A'ja Wilson Elite'] prior to preparing for her senior season as a Stag. Last season, Levey averaged 10 points, 5.5 rebounds and a block per contest. Levey has played at the varsity level since she was an eighth grader.      Pioneers coach Reid Walling also has been impressed with what he has seen from McCray as of late considering McCray also landed an offer from Spartanburg Methodist. Walling knows how to recruit in-state talent considering all but one from Spartanburg Methodist's 2025-26 roster hailed from the Palmetto State. McCray was one of two team co-captains last season for coach Crystal Peace's Stags and is another who has also played both basketball and volleyball throughout her athletic career. McCray competed in all 28 games last season for Berkeley while averaging nine points, 8.2 rebounds and 1.7 steals per game. Her first season at the varsity level was as a seventh grader.      Carter's recruiting fortunes have continued to lead in one direction – up – following leading her Berkeley team to back-to-back 5A Division 2 state championships. The latest offer that Carter claimed was an in-state look from Anderson. With only a week and a few days remaining in June's camp month, it will not be long before Carter resumes her travel schedule with Palmetto 76ers/A'ja Wilson Elite. Carter has been offered by Francis Marion, Minnesota North College, Lander and now Anderson since the 2025-26 season concluded with an eye-popping 29-point performance at Colonial Life Arena to dispatch Greenville in last year's state contest. Carter will be at Nike EYBL Session 3 in Las Vegas in mid-July. She averaged 13.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 2.9 steals per game last season.      The Eagles of 5A Chapin were another of the many teams that were on hand this past weekend at the South Carolina Basketball Coaches Association (SCBCA) Live event at North Augusta's Riverview Park. Prior to the previous weekend, Wright would pick up her first offer. It was of the in-state variety courtesy of Lander. A product of [program_tooltip program_id='1238252' first='Twelve' last='Time'], Wright is another multi-sport athlete who also plays volleyball in addition to basketball. She previously played at 1A Denmark-Olar prior to bringing her talents to Chapin. Wright played in 25 games last season and was one of two team co-captains for coach Terence Jones' Eagles in 2205-26.      Last season would be the first for Earl in a new set of threads – those of 4A Westside – and she played a crucial role in the Rams' run to another Upper State championship. This past week, she would secure an offer from Seattle University. Earl adds this latest offer to others she got from Kansas City, Elon and East Carolina since the conclusion of the high school season. The rising senior guard would play in all 29 matchups this past season for the Rams and would average 11.2 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.1 steals per game. Once June's camp month is in the books, Earl will finish her final travel season with AEBL.      Jackson has played at the high school varsity level since she was in middle school and is currently a rising senior with 4A Fountain Inn. Claflin coach Terrence Jenkins must have been impressed with what he saw out of the 5-foot-11 Fury big as Jackson would receive her first collegiate offer. In all four seasons since the new Fountain Inn HS opened its door, the program has had double-digit winning seasons and Jackson has been integral to the Fury's immediate success. She would compete in all 27 games in 2025-26 for Fountain Inn and averaged 7.7 points, 7.3 rebounds and 1.7 steals a game.      The distinction of the two-sport athlete also applies to Randolph as she has played softball throughout her career in addition to her basketball achievements. Her latest offer pertained to hoops, and it was of the in-state variety courtesy of Voorhees. Randolph saw playing time in 28 of 4A South Florence's 29 games throughout the 2025-26 season and would average 6.9 points, four rebounds and 1.2 steals per game. She was part of a Bruins team that advanced to the 4A Lower State semifinals last season. Randolph was one of four from the class of 2027 from last year's South Florence team.      Bostick has been the centerpiece of all things 4A South Florence over the past several seasons and is another that has played at the varsity level since she was an eighth grader. She would pick up an in-state offer courtesy of Denmark Tech. Bostick has played her 2026 travel schedule with AEBL where she has competed up in class on its 16U EYBL team. She has kept an active athletic schedule over the years between the volleyball and basketball she has played. Bostick competed in 28 contests last season for the Bruins and would average a double-double of 22.3 points and 10.1 rebounds plus three steals per contest.      Livingston is a rising senior set to play her final high school season in new threads – those of 5A Dutch Fork. This week would be a very productive recruiting week for Livingston – and that was before her Silver Foxes put together a stellar showing at this past weekend's SCBCA Live event at Riverview Park. Livingston would secure a pair of in-state offers from Anderson and Converse. The 2025-26 season would be her final campaign sporting the black and gold hues of Irmo. She averaged 16.8 points, 9.1 rebounds, 6.6 assists and 3.7 steals last season in 16 games with the Yellow Jackets and is more than poised to bring that same production – and then some – to The Den.      Following First Baptist's triumph over Northwood Academy in last season's SCISA 4A championship tilt, Pojani has continued to solidify her status as one of the most sought after prospects among the Palmetto State's rising juniors. Pojani's latest offer would also be of the in-state variety by way of Division I Winthrop and coach Semeka Randall Lay. She has played the 2026 travel season with FBC Reign 2028 as well being a guest player for [program_tooltip program_id='988463' first='Mosch' last='Ball'] at the Prep Girls Hoops Circuit's Southeast Region Kickoff. In the 35 games she played last season with the Hurricanes, she averaged 22.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, 4.3 steals and 3.7 assists. First Baptist could be the SCISA 4A team to beat once again in 2026-27.     With one more season remaining at the high school level, Hopper is looking to conclude her in a Gaffney uniform with an exclamation point. She would recently secure her first collegiate offer – an in-state get courtesy of Anderson. Following a pair of seasons where Gaffney was classified in the 5A realm, Gaffney will move back down to 4A once the 2026-27 season commences in November. A versatile veteran that can give a team solid minutes in either the frontcourt or the backcourt, Hopper averaged 15.3 points, 9.2 rebounds and 2.7 steals in the 29 games she played. Last season's Gaffney team was a 5A Division 2 Upper State finalist.      Walker has been a focal point of all things 4A North Augusta over the past several seasons. With Walker transitioning to senior status with the Yellow Jackets, she is set to be the focal point for North Augusta's 2026-27 team. The Division I prospect would land her latest offer courtesy of the College of Charleston. Walker will at least enter the collegiate ranks as a three-time state champion with the Yellow Jackets and looks to add one more ring to her already decorated resume at North Augusta. The [program_tooltip program_id='783909' first='Palmetto' last='76ers/A'ja Wilson Elite'] prospect played in all 29 of the Yellow Jackets' contests last season and averaged 17.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.7 steals and 2.2 assists per matchup.      Howell claimed her second offer since the conclusion of the high school season. It was another in-state offer courtesy of Erskine. The first was courtesy of Converse. As a 2027, Howell will soon resume her final travel season with FBC NextUp S40. In July, Howell is scheduled to be at a live period tuneup event in Georgia over Fourth of July weekend then will head to Ohio for the P24/S40 Session 2 and 3 gathering. Her travel schedule has included a stop at the Prep Girls Hoops Circuit's Peach Games in early May as well as spending April's live period in Ohio and May's at Live At Lakepoint. Howell averaged 9.9 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 2.2 steals for a Hurricanes team that will resume play as a 3A combatant beginning with the 2026-27 season.     Floyd's Seneca assembling is another that is moving down from 4A to 3A when play tips off in November. She competed in all 27 games last season for the Bobcats while averaging 11.9 points, 5.3 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 2.6 steals per game. Prior to putting together an impressive few days at the SCBCA Live camp, Floyd took part in an elite camp at Erskine and departed from the home court of the Flying Fleet with an offer. When June's camp month ends, Floyd will resume play with FBC United We Trust where her first event will be the Fab 75 in Greensboro.

With the June camp month's live period in the rear-view mirror, one would expect the previous week to be a very active one on South Carolina's recruiting trail.
