Shane Beamer Says South Carolina’s Women’s Basketball Championship Sparked Recruit Interest

South Carolina football coach Shane Beamer credits the women’s basketball tournament in bringing in interest from some potential recruits.

The basketball team won the national title over UConn, and the city of Columbia, S.C., honored the Gamecocks with a parade on Wednesday night to celebrate their second national title in program history.

Ahead of the parade, Beamer spoke with Paul Finebaum on ESPN’s SEC Network about how the national title has impacted his recruiting this offseason.

“Before I got on this call, I was facetiming a recruit, he was asking me about the parade tonight for the women’s basketball team,” Beamer said.
