SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- South Carolina head coach Dawn Staley said the conversations surrounding recruitment, especially with players in the transfer portal, have changed over the last few years.
In the past, the three-time NCAA national championship coach expressed that she'd lead with the pursuit of receiving a degree, but now it's all about the financial aspect.
"How much is it going to cost us? That's the conversation. You've got to lead with that," Staley said. "Because you don't really want to waste your time. You either are going to have enough to pay players, or you don't. And you move on."
Staley admitted that no matter what she promises a student-athlete, the bottom line will always be finances."
