The No. 1 recruit of the Class of 2026 (as per On3's Industry Rankings), Saniyah Hall, is someone a lot of programs want on their roster. The 6-foot-2 small forward, who is entering her senior year at Montverde Academy, took a visit to the South Carolina Gamecocks on Monday.
Hall shared the news on her official Instagram page, along with some pictures of her rocking the Gamecocks jersey. Coach Dawn Staley could also be seen in one of the photos.
However, that was not the highlight of her visit. In an Instagram story uploaded by Hall on her IG, the small forward was seen dancing with the South Carolina coach. A user on X (formerly Twitter) shared her story as a post.
"Did Dawn Staley just snag another top player for South Carolina??" he wrote in the caption.
Staley and Hall were seen pulling out their best moves as the background music went, 'Get down on it.' Hall was dancing in South Carolina uniform, which prompted many to think she could commit to the program soon.
"Gamecock Nation Wsp?? ❤️🤙🏽🐔 #officalvisit #uncommitted," Hall acaptioned her post of the visit.
