South Carolina women’s basketball just scored a major victory as five-star forward Chloe Kitts rejected a staggering $6.9 million NIL offer from Georgia and Auburn to remain with the Gamecocks.
Kitts, a dominant presence on the court, was heavily pursued by top programs offering massive financial incentives. However, her commitment to South Carolina and head coach Dawn Staley’s vision proved stronger than the allure of NIL money.
“I have no plans beyond Gamecocks,” Kitts declared. “This is where I want to be. The culture, my teammates, and the coaching staff have given me everything I need to succeed. I’m here to win championships and continue building my legacy.”
Her decision is a massive statement for South Carolina basketball, reinforcing the program’s dominance and ability to retain elite talent despite lucrative offers elsewhere. It also highlights the strength of the Gamecocks’ family-oriented atmosphere and winning tradition.
With Kitts locked in, South Carolina’s championship aspirations remain as strong as ever. Her loyalty and determination further cement the Gamecocks’ status as a powerhouse in women’s college basketball.
