Dawn Staley, Gamecocks nab another in Montgomery’s Jackson
One good turn, and all that …
South Carolina’s recruiting weekend paid off for the second time in as many days late Monday when four-star wing Bianca Jackson committed to Dawn Staley and the Gamecocks. Jackson is rated the No. 54 prospect in the country and No. 11 at her position.
Jackson announced on social media around 10 p.m. From Montgomery, Ala., the 5-foot-11 Jackson plays at Brewbaker Tech Magnet. Her father, Lewis Jackson, coaches the men’s basketball team at Alabama State and her mother, Freda Freeman-Jackson, coaches the ASU women’s team.
Jackson’s commitment fills the four open scholarships the Gamecocks will have next season, after the departure of senior Alaina Coates (fellow senior India Farmer is a walk-on). She followed LaDazhia Williams, who committed on Sunday, Elisia “Lele” Grissett and Haley Troup.
