MiLaysia I think her name is from South Carolina. She’s tough, obviously Cailtin Clark is tough. You know I’m excited to see Paige. Look I then named the whole roster,” stated Ogunbowale.

“So definitely all my Gamecock girls, but especially Camila because I think this is her year. She’s gonna shine and she has already shown that in her first game,” divulged Boston.
