Dawn Staley has transformed the South Carolina women's basketball program into one of the best in the country over her 17 seasons as head coach. The Gamecocks have made the NCAA Tournament in 14 consecutive seasons, made seven Final Fours and won three national championships under Staley's guidance.

The statue of Staley will stand at the intersection of Senate and Lincoln streets right next to the university’s Pastides Alumni Center, the University of South Carolina announced Monday. That’s in the city’s Vista district, across from the Columbia Convention Center and a few blocks away from where the statue was first thought to be destined.
