Major South Carolina flip target decommits from Florida State
South Carolina football fans were stunned earlier this summer when 4-star wide receiver Malik Clark announced his commitment to the Florida State Seminoles. After the Rock Hill High School product seemed to be deciding between South Carolina and North Carolina, the ‘Noles swooped in and landed his pledge.
Shane Beamer and his staff never stopped recruiting Clark, though, and those efforts could be paying off.

With FSU off to a surprise 1-4 start, Clark decommitted from the Seminoles. On3’s Hayes Fawcett reported the news first.
Clark has visited Columbia multiple times since his initial pledge to Florida State, most recently for the Gamecocks’ matchup with Akron ten days ago. He is expected to be back on campus again soon.

Listed at 6’2.5″ and 180 pounds, Clark has solid size for a receiver, but he also possesses elite speed. The pass-catcher has run in the 10.5 range in the 100-meter and the upper 4.3s in the 40-yard dash. His speed translates to the gridiron, too, as he routinely runs past high school defenders.
Three receivers are currently committed to the South Carolina football program in the 2025 class. The Gamecock staff are high on Jayden Sellers, Brian Rowe, and Lex Cyrus, but adding another receiver or two in the class would help out a wide receiver room that will be losing a fair amount of players after this season.
On3 ranks Clark as the no. 7 player in the Palmetto State in the ’25 cycle.

The No. 57 Razorbacks move to 11-10 (2-9) on the season after picking up a win against No. 27 South Carolina 9-10 (2-9).
The Hogs won the doubles point. No. 39 Carolina Gomez and Anet Koskel defeated No. 9 Helena Buchwald and Lauren Friedman, 6-3. Jimena Gomez and Alexandra Panagiotidou took down Sara Borkop and Jane Dunyon, 6-1.
The Razorbacks stayed hot during singles. No. 39 Carolina Gomez defeated No. 56 Kaitlyn Carnicella 7(7)-6(1), 3-6, 6-3 to seal the win. Alexandra Panagiotidou took down Taylor Goetz, 6-3, 6-3. Jimena Gomez defeated Jane Dunyon, 7-5, 6-3. Brooke Schafer fell to No. 52 Helena Buchwald, 7(7)-6(3), 6-2.
The Hogs will be back in action on Friday in Colombia, MO when they take on Missouri at 11:30 a.m.

SACRAMENTO, CA — No. 3 TCU took down No. 10 Virginia in the Sweet 16, preventing South Carolina women’s basketball coach Dawn Staley from coaching against her college team in the Elite Eight of the Women’s NCAA Tournament.
The No. 1 seeded Gamecocks (34-3) will play the No. 3 seeded Horned Frogs (32-5) on March 30 (9 p.m. ET, ESPN) in Golden 1 Center.
South Carolina beat No. 4 seed Oklahoma 94-68 in the Sweet 16 before TCU beat Virginia 79-69.
The only time these two teams met was in 2024 when South Carolina won 85-52.
Dawn Staley has only coached against TCU once
This will be somewhat of an unfamiliar matchup for Staley, who has only coached one game against TCU, and the 2024-25 roster was much different than what she’ll see on March 30.
Last year’s TCU team was powered by players like Hailey Van Lith and Sedona Prince. Now it’s Olivia Miles who is running the show.
Only one starter from last year’s team returned, and TCU added six transfer players.
Coach Mark Campbell is in his third season but has been to two of the last three NCAA Tournaments. Last year the Horned Frogs lost to Texas in the Elite Eight.
Olivia Miles is TCU’s star point guard
Olivia Miles transferred to TCU from Notre Dame in a shocking offseason move after Miles was projected as a top-5 WNBA draft pick.
The senior guard is averaging 19.4 points, 7.2 rebounds and 6.6 assists, coming off 28 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists in the Sweet 16.
She’s fifth in the nation in assists, 42nd in double-doubles with 12 total, and leads the nation in triple doubles with six.
Miles wasn’t healthy and didn’t play for Notre Dame against South Carolina in the 2023-24 season opener, so this is Staley’s first time scouting against one of the nation’s top ball handlers.
Marta Suarez, Clara Silva vs Joyce Edwards, Madina Okot
After fighting through Oklahoma’s post defense, South Carolina’s post players have a new challenge in TCU’s Marta Suarez. The 6-foot-3 Suarez is averaging 16.8 points and 7.4 rebounds, coming off 33 points and 10 rebounds in Sweet 16.
She’s tied with Miles with 12 double-doubles.
Clara Silva, 6-foot-7 center, is in her first season with TCU after one with Kentucky last year. Silva won’t be impacted by the SEC’s physicality given her freshman year experience and is averaging 9.3 points and 7.4 rebounds for TCU.
She didn’t score against South Carolina last year at Kentucky but had two assists and a steal in seven minutes of action.
TCU leads Big 12 in points allowed, rebounds and point differential
The Horned Frogs have the top defense in the Big 12, allowing an average of 55.9 points per game. They are also first in rebounds with 41.7 per game and in point differential at +21.4.
South Carolina vs TCU prediction in Elite Eight
South Carolina 84, TCU 72: This could be the closest game for South Carolina this tournament and will come down to execution. But despite almost three 100-point games, the Gamecocks say they still have room to grow with their best basketball left to play.
Raven Johnson vs Olivia Miles will be the main guard matchup, with Clara Silva vs Madina Okot at the center spot and Marta Suarez vs Joyce Edwards. So expect players like Tessa Johnson or Ta’Niya Latson to try to step up for Staley.

These two teams will give each other fits. The real question could be which team will final possession and will they capilitize?
