Brooke Daniels Joins Gamecocks | Columbia News

South Carolina just added a proven winner to its 2026-27 women’s basketball roster: Brooke Quarles Daniels, a transfer from Michigan who’s earned a fifth year of eligibility after a California judge granted it. A standout at Oakland and Michigan — Freshman of the Year in the Horizon League, Big Ten steals leader, and a force on both ends — Daniels brings elite experience and toughness that Coach Dawn Staley says will elevate the team immediately. Her arrival fills a critical guard spot left vacant by Maddy McDaniel and adds depth to a squad now boasting 15 players. With her court savvy and leadership, Daniels is poised to make an instant impact as the Gamecocks gear up for a strong season.
