In a seismic move that just shook the foundations of women’s college basketball, South Carolina head coach Dawn Staley has officially secured a commitment from Agot Makeer, the electrifying 6-foot-2 phenom out of Colorado, ranked No. 4 nationally in the Class of 2025.
After a fierce recruiting battle featuring juggernauts like UConn and Michigan State, Makeer chose to don the garnet and black, declaring:
“I want to be part of something historic. Coach Staley builds champions — and I’m ready to be one.”
Staley, who has already built a dynasty in Columbia, called the signing “a game-changer — and a statement to the nation that South Carolina isn’t just staying on top, we’re evolving.”
Makeer’s commitment adds even more firepower to a stacked future roster that already includes Joyce Edwards, MiLaysia Fulwiley, and Ashlyn Watkins. With her length, defensive tenacity, and floor-stretching ability, Makeer is expected to slot seamlessly into Staley’s high-octane system.
Recruiting insiders are calling this “the biggest get of the 2025 class” — not just for her ranking, but for her potential to redefine the position. A two-way nightmare for opponents, Makeer has drawn comparisons to WNBA stars like Satou Sabally and Rhyne Howard, but with her own unique flair.
Social media exploded within minutes of the announcement. ESPN’s Andraya Carter tweeted:
“Agot Makeer to South Carolina?! Dawn Staley just Thanos-snapped the rest of the SEC.”
With Makeer’s arrival, one thing is certain: the Gamecocks aren’t rebuilding — they’re reloading. And the rest of the country just got put on notice.
