Recruiting Director Mary Wooley is a key part of our success this year

Dawn Staley added Mary Wooley to the South Carolina staff in Summer 2017 to solidify the program’s recruiting efforts, a move that paid dividends just a year later when the Gamecocks landed 2019’s No. 1 recruiting class in the nation.

Just before her arrival in Columbia, Wooley was an assistant coach at Loyola (Md.) in 2016-17, following four seasons at Hawaii (2012-16), including the last three as the associate head coach. She helped the Rainbow Wahine to the postseason all four seasons of her tenure, including the 2016 NCAA Tournament after they won the Big West Conference Tournament. Wooley’s first coaching position came as an assistant coach at Southern Cal. In her three seasons in Los Angeles (2009-12), the Women of Troy went 61-37 overall and were the WNIT runner-up in 2010.

We need to hang on to her.

Adding Wooley and Low has really ramped up the recruiting success. When you have a good product to sell, it makes recruiting easier.  We currently have a great product; Dawn has been the best hire in quite a long time.
