5-star combo guard Agot Makeer talks about choosing to go to South Carolina
As for why the South Sudanese-Canadian chose South Carolina, she revealed that she personally thinks the school will help her reach her goals.
"I know my goals and who I want to be in the future, and I personally feel like South Carolina will get me there," she told ESPN after her commitment.
Agot Makeer also revealed that legendary Gamecocks head coach Dawn Staley was also a big factor in her choosing South Carolina.
"The conversations and interactions I've had with Coach Staley and the coaching staff have been genuine from the very beginning. ... Usually on visits and during calls, head coaches will stay out of most of it. Coach Dawn attended every single part of my official visit and was in the lead of a lot of my recruitment," she added.
Agot Makeer averaged 10 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.7 assists for Montverde Academy this season but has been out due to injury. She has also been named a McDonald's All-American, along with five-star teammate Aaliyah Crump, who has signed with Texas.
