The battle for blue chippers is waged before, during and after the season. It's a necessary evil. With all the uproar and publicity surrounding the departure of Pam Parsons and five of her players from USC's basketball team during mid-season, it would be easy to believe that the Lady Gamecocks would have little success in attracting star players to Carolina. But that's not the case. r\ L rn U ~ ?4 v^uaen iciiy rveny, wnu was neau icciuuci cii icuncsacc Tech while an assistant there and handled most of the recruiting chores under Parsons during the first part of the year, has a long list of players who are at least talking to Carolina about next year. Despite all the turmoil of January, Kelly said he has been able to stress the future of the Carolina women's basketball program, not the past. "We're talking with recruits about the aspect that what went on here is now in the past and it's not the present, neither is it going to be the future," Kelly said. Kelly, who has compiled a 12-G record since taking over for Parsons, is unsure about how much the Lady Gamecock recruiting efforts are being hampered by the mid-season turmoil. "As far as how much effect it is actually going to have, that's hard to say at this point," Kelly said. "I'm sure it's going to hurt, but at the same time I think they (recruits) are taking a longer look at the University of South Carolina."

Two in-state stars, Sharon Gilmore of Graniteville and Jackie Jones of Charleston visited the campus and attended the USC-Clemson basketball doubleheader on March 6. Gilmore returned for the Memphis State game two weeks ago and last Saturday's games with Notre Dame. According to Kelly, Jones will apparently stay in state, and will choose between Carolina or Clemson. Kelly recently received some good news when Jones decided not to visit Louisiana Tech and instead will decide between the Lady Gamecocks and Lady Tigers. Gilmore said she has only three schools on her list, USC, Clemson and Tennessee. Gilmore said she should make her decision sometime this weekend. Kelly has had another hinderance in recruiting.

"The limitations that we have for this year are that we as a coaching staff cannot go off campus to see a high school player play in a high school sanctioned event," Kelly said. "That's probably the biggest thing." Kelly can still correspond by mail and keep in touch by telephone with blue chip prospects. Most of Kelly's Sunday nights for the past several weeks have been spent on the phone checking in with recruits. This Sunday will be a big night because Monday is the first day letters of intent can be mailed out for signature. They must be returned to the prospective school and then sent to the NCAA national office within two weeks or they are invalid and another letter must be sent, Kelly said. Most coaches have a priority list of players that have already been told they have a scholarship if they want one. Then there are the second line of players who are told by the coaches that there is a definite interest in them, and a scholarship could be tendered. With only five scholarship players returning for next year, Kelly has a large number of scholarships to offer. "I think we're probably shooting right now for somewhere around seven and eight scholarship players we'll bring in," Kelly said. Kelly will soon find out if his recruiting prowess is equal to the talent he displayed keeping the Lady Gamecocks together after the tumult of January and producing l'cC unexpected 20-6 record. 1^_? <4 I ^wm^?mm \rxr ?IB V~N 11 2009 Greene Street llll it J I Wednesday, Friday, 1 '! ij Saturday !
