Chloe Kitts is coming off the best season of her college career and is working hard to develop her skill set this offseason in hopes of being even more dominant as a senior.

The forward has become essential to South Carolina's success. After serving as a role player off the bench as a freshman, Kitts transitioned into a starting role as a sophomore and helped the Gamecocks to win the 2024 NCAA championship. She was a part of the squad's starting five again this season and demonstrated continued growth.

This season, Kitts led South Carolina in rebounding with 7.7 rpg. Her 10.2 points, 1.9 assists and 0.7 steals per game were all increases from her sophomore campaign.

Kitts is a sharp shooter and averaged 52.0%, including 33.3% from beyond the arc. She also saw improvement in her free-throw percentage, knocking down 79.8% compared to 68.9% as a sophomore.

With Kitts' help, South Carolina won the SEC Tournament title and received a No. 1 seed in March Madness. In the SEC Tournament quarterfinal win over Vanderbilt, the star forward put up a season-high 25 points and added ten rebounds for a double-double. She shot 85.7% from the field in the 84-63 win.

Kitts continues to develop with each passing season and is honing her skill set further this summer.
