Staley: Gamecocks working to bring ex-players back from Israel..

Three former South Carolina women’s basketball players have been competing in Israel, Gamecocks coach Dawn Staley said on social media Saturday, and an effort is being made to get them home in the wake of the United States-Israel military strikes against Iran.

 

Staley wrote that Tiffany Mitchell, Mikiah Herbert Harrigan and Destiny Littleton were “in a war zone in Israel.”

 

“We are working a plan to get home,” Staley wrote on X. “Let us pray for our loved ones to return home safely asap! Thank you in advance.”

 

 

A spokeswoman for South Carolina athletics told ESPN on Saturday night she had no additional information on the situation beyond what Staley had posted on social media.
