The South Carolina Gamecocks are still on the hunt for another elite recruiting class, and one of the top9 players for the 2026 cycle has the Gamecocks on her radar.
Five-star Jacy Abbi recently released her top 10 schools, and Dawn Staley's squad made the cut. Joining South Carolina on her list as UCLA, LSU, North Carolina, Texas, Notre Dame, TCU, Duke, Tennessee, and UConn. All of those teams make up an elite group for one of the most coveted prospects in the nation to choose from.
Abbi, who is rated a four-star prospect by composite rankings, is the No. 10 overall player in the 2026 class, as well as the No. 4 power forward, and the top-ranked player in the state of Texas.
While the Gamecocks narrowly missed out on back-to-back national championship titles this past season, the future remains bright as ever for South Carolina. Coach Staley continues to build for another run at the title, and winning battles on the recruiting trail like this one could be key to bringing more hardware home to Columbia.
