In a major win for South Carolina basketball, Karley Johnson, one of the top recruits in the nation, has officially committed to the Gamecocks, choosing them over the Tennessee Volunteers. The 5-star prospect’s decision marks a significant milestone for Head Coach Lamont Paris and his staff, who have been building momentum in the recruiting world.
Johnson, a standout guard from a highly competitive high school program, has been a highly sought-after player throughout the recruiting process, with several top-tier programs vying for her talents. Her decision to commit to South Carolina over Tennessee not only strengthens the Gamecocks’ already impressive roster but also sends a message to the college basketball world that South Carolina is a major force in recruiting.
The recruitment battle between the Gamecocks and the Vols was intense, with both programs offering Johnson the opportunity to play at a high level in the Southeastern Conference.
