COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Three South Carolina players intend to transfer, including 6-foot-2 junior Mikiah Herbert Harrigan. She started 21 games this season and figured to play a significant role on next year's team.
Also leaving, according to team spokeswoman Diana Koval, are reserve sophomores Bianca Jackson and LaDazhia Williams. Jackson is a 5-foot-11 guard who made five starts this season and Williams a 6-foot-4 forward who averaged fewer than seven minutes a game.
The Gamecocks enter next season with the No. 1 ranked recruiting class, signing four players rated among the top-13 prospects in the country according to ESPN.
