Buying in bulk: Gamecock freshman forwards hit the weights this summer

In summer workouts for South Carolina women’s basketball so far, there’s been an unstoppable force in the low post, a bully the Gamecocks’ young forwards can’t handle.

Alexis Jennings stands 6-foot-3 with a powerfully built lower body, and with no more A’ja Wilson, there’s not a USC player left who can bang down low with the fifth-year senior.

“I don’t think we have anyone that really can defend her this summer. Obviously, we’ve got to get some of our practice guys in here to challenge her a little bit,” coach Dawn Staley said in June.
