🔼 One Mighty Comparison. OC Dowell Loggains says Xavier Legette’s work ethic reminds him of a former NFL superstar with five Pro Bowls under his belt.

“He is as hard as any worker I have been around in the NFL. I look back and I am thinking through my career, guys that have worked really hard. The guy who pops to mind, I had him in two different spots, is Frank Gore. That is how you play that long. The guy has an incredible work ethic. You see Legette do it every day. At first, you take it for granted because you are like, there is no way this guy can do it. It is not just offense. It is special teams, as well.”

🔼 Amazing A’ja. A’ja Wilson just keeps making history! She’s the first person in WNBA history to score a combined 1,000 points in the regular season and post-season play. She also earned the fifth spot all-time in WNBA history for postseason blocks with 70!

🔼 A Big Heart. It’s time for Victaria Saxton’s season in review with the Indiana Fever! Saxton reflects on her rookie season in Indianapolis and takes a look at the key traits that have gotten her this far.

🔼 In Honor Of Nikki. South Carolina women’s basketball will host Rutgers in an October exhibition game in honor of Nikki McCray-Penson. The game, which will be held at Colonial Life Arena on October 22, will raise money for a local non-profit that provides financial help for women who are battling breast cancer.

🔼 Smart Court. Gamecock men’s soccer is turning heads for their academic achievements! The squad had 23 players land on the Sun Belt Conference Commissioner’s List and Academic Honor Roll for the 2022-23 school year. South Carolina went a step further and earned the Team Grade Point Average Award for having the best collective team GPA in the conference!
