Younger sister of former Gamecock Bree Hall announces college decision
The sister of a former Gamecocks star has made her college commitment.
Brooklyn Hall, the younger sister of former USC starter and two-time national champion Bree Hall, has committed to South Florida, she announced Sunday.
Brooklyn Hall, a 6-foot-1 guard recruit in the Class of 2026, will sign with coach Jose Fernandez and the Bulls in the fall and make her college debut next year.
“Committed!!” Brooklyn Hall wrote in a social media post on June 8.
Bree Hall, who attended South Carolina from 2021-25, played an active role in her younger sister’s recruiting process and joined Brooklyn and their parents, Bryan and LaShauna, on a recruiting visit to USF in Tampa, Florida earlier this year.
Brooklyn Hall’s other recent scholarship offers included Penn, St. John’s, Northwestern, Marquette, Cal, Mississippi State and Wisconsin. South Carolina and coach Dawn Staley did not offer the younger Hall a scholarship, per social media.
She ranks as an espnW four-star recruit and averaged 18.9 points, 6.1 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 2 steals per game as a high school junior in Ohio.
She joins a USF program that competes in the American Athletic and made the NCAA Tournament as a No. 12 seed last year. Fernandez has coached the team since 2000 and led the Bulls to 10 NCAA appearances, including four in the last five years.
Fernandez and Staley have a strong coaching relationship. USF and USC played in the NCAA round of 32 in 2023, and the Bulls visited Columbia for a non-conference game in December 2024. South Carolina is also set to play at USF in December 2025.
Bree Hall, Brooklyn Hall’s older sister, was a three-year starter at guard for South Carolina and part of the Gamecocks’ 2022 and 2024 national championship teams.
The Indiana Fever drafted Hall No. 20 overall in the second round of the 2025 WNBA Draft in April but waived her in May before the regular season started.
The Halls are the second South Carolina WBB family to recently put two sisters on Division I teams. USC rising senior forward Chloe Kitts’ younger sister, Kylee Kitts, played at Florida last year and transferred to Ohio State in April.
