Dawn Leaves No Doubt - A'ja Is The Greatest Ever

The NCAA Tournament tips off for the Gamecocks and their All-American senior who is being mentioned as the greatest Gamecock ever - in any sport.

Connor Shaw and George Rogers for football. BJ McKie and Alex English for basketball. Matt Price and Michael Roth for baseball.

But the clear cut all-time greatest player for USC women's basketball is A'ja Wilson. The Heathwood Hall grad is the program's all-time leading scorer and she was a part of that historic run to the national championship in her junior season.

She is a finalist for two national player of the year awards as she heads into her final NCAA Tournament. Head coach Dawn Staley has been around USC athletics for 10 years and figures she knows enough to say her senior is the greatest Gamecock of all time - in any sport.

"Yes! I can say it, because look what she's done," said USC head coach Dawn Staley.

"And not just look what she's done, but look where she's taken this program and all the things that are synonymous with her in our program. She's been a part of two Final Fours, one national championship, the history book. Maybe I need to be here another 10 years to figure out what everybody else has done for their respective sports, but to make us a national prominent program, sustained over her four years, is quite incredible."
