Dawn Staley’s Basketball Hall of Fame Enshrinement Speech

For Staley it would be a fitting homecoming and while they were previous talk in the past about bringing back to Charlottesville, nothing came to fruition. This allowed her to strengthen her already bulky resume. In ten years with the Gamecocks, Staley stats include five consecutive Sweet 16s, leading the nation in attendance four years running and claiming the national championship in 2017. In her undergrad career at UVA, she earned three Final Four appearances and two national player of the honors.
Will this reunion happen? Only time will tell, but Staley has more pressing matters to attend to. You know, like getting out of the Sweet 16.
