What Dawn Staley said to Bree Hall's parents after South Carolina star declared for WNBA Draft

South Carolina coach Dawn Staley hailed Bree Hall's parents, Bryan and LeShauna, for raising their daughter into a great women's basketball player as she heads to the 2025 WNBA draft.

Staley replied to Bryan Hall's thank-you message in which he said he'd be forever grateful to her for giving Bree the opportunity to shine.

"Mr. Hall you and @Shaun22710212La have been parents who get it! Thank you for having the strong balance of supporting Breezy and seeing the dynamics of our team. Everyone won! One love!."

Bree Hall developed into one of women's college basketball's premier defenders during her four seasons with the Gamecocks from 2021-25. She helped the team win national titles in 2022 and 2024 and finish runners-up in 2025.

Bree Hall is among the three South Carolina players who have declared for the 2025 WNBA draft (the others are Te-Hina Paopao and Sania Feagin). The annual event is scheduled on Monday at The Shed at Hudson Yards in Manhattan, New York.
