The leading scorer on the USC women's basketball team has put her name in the transfer portal with the intent to leave the Gamecock program.

Te'a Cooper played just one season for Carolina after transferring from Tennessee where she played just one year there as she missed her sophomore season due to injury.

The NCAA denied Cooper a waiver to play at USC during her junior season after Tennessee objected. 

So in four years, Cooper has played one year for Tennessee and one year for USC.

This past season Cooper averaged 11.9 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game in 30 appearances. 

Cooper will be a graduate transfer and will be immediately eligible to play in what will be her third school.

Her decision to leave comes one day after a trio of players announced they were entering the transfer portal - rising senior Mikiah Herbert Harrigan, rising junior Bianca Jackson and rising junior LaDazhia Williams.
