In A'ja Wilson's final appearance at Colonial Life Arena as an undergraduate at USC, the university ensured her likeness will never be forgotten, announcing it will erect a statue in the women's basketball star's honor.
The announcement was made just after Wilson crossed the stage Saturday at Colonial Life Arena to receive her diploma for a degree in mass communications, sporting a "net-lace."
Wilson swept the national player of the year awards this past season, was a three-time All-American and led the Gamecocks to their first ever national championship in 2017. Last month, she became the program's first ever No.
