Over the past half-decade or so, South Carolina has developed something of a reputation as “Frontcourt U” with the presence of players like A’ja Wilson, Alaina Coates, Sarah Imovbioh and others.
It’s a reputation that a player like Aliyah Boston would certainly enhance.
Boston, a 6-foot-4 forward ranked No. 3 in the class of 2019 by ESPN, has Dawn Staley and the Gamecocks among her four finalists, with UConn, Notre Dame and Ohio State. And unlike other high school big prospects who increasingly play like oversized guards, Boston seems like the kind of player who thrives most under the basket, muscling away against other, powerful forwards and centers.
