Watkins is back with No. 1 South Carolina and is expected to play against No. 9 N.C. State

The AP Top 25 women’s college basketball poll is back every week throughout the season! Gamecocks coach Dawn Staley said Watkins, a versatile, high-flying, 6-foot-3 forward who led the Southeastern Conference with 91 blocks last season, has looked good in her first few practices since returning from her more than two months away from the team. “If she’s out here, she’s going to play,” Staley said, clarifying later that Watkins will come off the bench as she has much of the past two seasons behind starter Aliyah Boston in 2023 and Kamilla Cardoso in the undefeated national championship season a year ago. Watkins was expected to take over down low from Cardoso, the team’s scoring and rebounding leader last season who was a first-round WNBA draft pick for the Chicago Sky. But Staley said Watkins’ charges are on the way to be expunged after she went through a pre-trial intervention program available to first-time offenders, according to the Fifth Judicial Solicitor’s Office’s website.
