SC Recruiting Notebook For 6/1

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>May of 2026 is in the books and we are now into June. This, of course, means that the first part of the 2026 travel season is in the books and players are set to reconvene with their high school teams for June's camp month.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As deep as the talent pool is across South Carolina, one would expect that offers would be flying left and right to a sizable number of top-tier prospects. That has certainly been the case – and then some.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Our latest update from the Palmetto State's recruiting trail not only includes the latest offers but a few from the past few weeks we happened to miss.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["672385"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1808857,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a1c39c239122"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Riles' recruiting is beginning to pick up as evidenced by the trio of schools that extended offers in her direction. Those three schools were Allen, Voorhees and Virginia State. Riles has played at the varsity level since she was a seventh grader and we can now apply the “rising sophomore” distinction to 2029 talents such as Riles. She is closing in quickly on 1,000 points and one can assume that Riles will accomplish that feat sometime within 2A Lake City's first few games of the 2026-27 season. Riles averaged 13.6 points, four rebounds, 3.2 assists and 3.2 steals as she played in all 26 games in 2025-26 for the Panthers. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["921724"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1667364,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a1c39c239212"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Offers were also extended in the direction of 4A Westside's star 2029. The offers that Marshall received were more of the Division I variety as she is on the radars of both Georgia Tech and East Carolina. Marshall is another that has played at the varsity level since she was a seventh grader and has now been on back-to-back Upper State champion Rams teams. She played in 28 of Westside's 29 games throughout the 2025-26 season while averaging 12.9 points, 6.6 rebounds and 3.1 steals per contest. Marshall spent May's live period at Nike Session 2 in New Orleans playing up in class with AEBL 16U EYBL.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["925560"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1379465,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a1c39c2392eb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tammi Reiss and her Florida program has been recruiting South Carolina heavily throughout the past several weeks. Evans was the latest Palmetto State prospect to land an offer from Florida. She was another 2029 that spent her May live period playing up in class with AEBL 16U EYBL. A two-sport athlete who has also competed in soccer throughout her athletic career, Evans played her first season at the varsity level as an eighth grader. The 14.9 points, five rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.6 steals she averaged was a major reason why Byrnes was one of the toughest outs among the 5A Division 1 realm. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["748211"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1111430,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a1c39c2393db"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Following a solid performance at Live At LakePoint during May's live period, Pojani was swimming in collegiate offers. Another found its way to Pojani recently as she had secured an offer from Lipscomb. This AAU season, Pojani has participated in a pair of Prep Girls Hoops Circuit events. One of them was The Shootout in Tennessee and the other was the Southeast Kickoff in late March as a guest player for [program_tooltip program_id='988463' first='Mosch' last='Ball']. Pojani's next event in a FBC Reign 2028 uniform will be in mid-July in Louisville. She is coming off claiming a SCISA 4A championship with First Baptist. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["429831"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1111439,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a1c39c23949e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dates has plenty of time before worrying about a commitment decision. In the meantime, she can continue to field the collegiate offers. The latest one Dates received was from a Big Ten school – Purdue to be exact. After participating at the Live at LakePoint event in Georgia during last month's live period, she will return to travel action with FBC United in mid-July in Louisville. This past season, Dates displayed exactly how far Goose Creek can go as she guided the Gators to the 5A Division 2 Lower State championship game. She received her first Division I offer from SC State two years ago and has added Clemson, Charleston Southern, Florida, Georgia Tech, Mississippi State, Auburn and UCF to that list.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["429828"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1379445,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a1c39c23955a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lucas is another noteworthy guard that is no stranger to Division I offers. This past week, Lucas secured an offer from Sun Belt school South Alabama. She has also earned looks from College of Charleston, Winthrop, Elon, Furman and NC A&amp;T among others. Lucas has played at the varsity level since she was a seventh grader and paved the way for another solid season with 4A South Pointe. Her play helped the Stallions reach another Upper State championship game. During last month's live period, she participated at Nike Session 2 in New Orleans playing up in class with CP3 Flames 17U. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["324542"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1173219,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a1c39c23964c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cunningham is continuing to field Division I offers and one can guess that will continue to be the case until she decides where she will play collegiately. Her latest offer was courtesy of Wake Forest. One can see why Megan Gebbia is interested in having Cunningham sport black and gold Demon Deacons threads. Cunningham played in 29 games this past season for a South Pointe team that reached another 4A Upper State championship. She also averaged a double-double of 20.5 points and 11.5 rebounds and is the Stallions' all-time leading points scorer for either girls or boys basketball. Cunningham, running with Her Elite, spent last month's live period at Nike Session 2 in New Orleans and made an appearance on the Prep Girls Hoops Circuit at last month's Peach Games. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["768684"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1450398,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a1c39c23972d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Shortly after leading Berkeley to back-to-back 5A Division 2 state championships, Carter had secured an offer from Minnesota North College Vermillion. She also landed an in-state offer from Lander. Carter had one of the signature performances of any game during championship week at Colonial Life Arena, dropping 29 points in the Stags' 54-50 victory over Greenville. Carter and her Stags are set to participate in a number of events during June – including the SCBCA Live Camp and Dawn Staley's at South Carolina. Following June, Carter will be back in a [program_tooltip program_id='783909' first='Palmetto' last='76ers/A'ja Wilson Elite'] uniform at EYBL Session 3 in Las Vegas. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["975827"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1748984,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a1c39c239837"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Wolf maintains an active athletic schedule considering she plays flag football in addition to her basketball achievements. Recently, the standout from 5A Fort Mill secured an in-state offer from Coker. Wolf played her first two live periods of her final travel season at The Clash in Ohio and at the Atlantic City Showcase. Following June's camp month, Wolf will be back in a Lady Attack Elite uniform at the Super Showcase in Ohio. Wolf was one of three team co-captains for a Yellow Jackets that finished second in its region in 2025-26. She averaged 13.5 points, 1.9 assists and 1.3 steals per contest while playing all 28 of Fort Mill's matchups last season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
