South Carolina senior Aleighsa Welch, a former Goose Creek High School star, is among 12 prospects invited to attend the WNBA draft on Thursday at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn. ESPN2 will televise the first round beginning at 7 p.m., and ESPN3 online will air the second and third rounds starting at 8 p.m.
Welch completed her career at South Carolina as the program’s top career offensive rebounder and one of just four Gamecocks all-time to record at least 1,000 points and 900 rebounds in her career. She is a three-time All-SEC selection, including first-team honors in 2014 and 2015.
