Aliyah Boston came to South Carolina not knowing much about the state except that the weather was nice. Four years later, she’s leaving behind a legacy that includes a 70-1 record in the state. ✍️ ChantelJennings | GamecockWBB | aa_boston
on the free-throw line, Boston settled into her seat. A staffer came up behind her, put his hand on her shoulder and dipped his head toward her ear. He was proud of her, he told her, and proud of the career she had put together here in South Carolina.
Four years ago, Boston came to South Carolina not knowing much about the state except that the weather was nice, which is high praise coming from the Virgin Islands native. Her parents knew about the weather, too, but they also knew Staley was the coach. And those two factors — sunshine and a coach who they believed would take care of their eldest daughter while she was thousands of miles from home — were enough for them.
Staley built her first national championship team in 2017 around a dominant big in A’ja Wilson. Wilson hailed from Hopkins, S.C., and went to a high school six miles from the Gamecocks’ arena. Wilson won 129 games in a Gamecocks uniform, left as the program’s most decorated player and now has a statue outside of South Carolina’s basketball arena.
