  • Wynn told ESPN she was swayed by South Carolina’s championship culture and the energy of Gamecock Nation.
  • She dislocated her right knee late last January and chose rehab over the EYBL, with prior summer-circuit numbers of 13.3 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.7 assists on 33% three-point shooting.
  • Wynn is expected to join IMG Academy post Kelsi Andrews, ESPN’s No. 18 recruit, strengthening the Gamecocks’ future frontcourt.
