Dawn Staley added another piece to this year's already historic recruiting class Monday afternoon, landing a commitment from a former McDonald's All-American.

Littleton spent two seasons at Texas, where she averaged 7.1 over her career, including 8.4 as a sophomore. Last season the 5-foot-9 guard shot 39.7 percent from the field and over 32 percent from three.

Per NCAA Transfer rules, Littleton will have to sit out a year before being eligible to play but could apply for a waiver to play immediately.

In high school, Littleton played for Team USA in the FIBA U18 3X3 World Cup where she won a gold medal.

She entered the NCAA transfer portal at the end of March and took just over a month to commit to South Carolina.
