Bree Hall may have moved on to the WNBA, but her bond with Raven Johnson remains as strong as ever — and the love from her fellow South Carolina Gamecocks continues to pour in.
Now a rookie with the Indiana Fever, Hall recently shared her first official photos in her new WNBA jersey, proudly captioning the Instagram post: “New location unlocked 💙📍.”
The post quickly became a celebration zone in the comment section, with former teammates showing their support. Johnson, her longtime backcourt partner at USC, responded with a simple but heartfelt, “😍❤️❤️.”
The hype didn’t stop there. Fellow Gamecock legends and current pros chimed in:
- Aliyah Boston: “BRO YOU LOOK GOODTTTT😍😍”
- Kamilla Cardoso: “😍😍😍”
- Sania Feagin: “😍😍😍😍”
- Te-Hina Paopao: “OH MY GOODNESSS 😍😍😍😍 ATE THIS UP”
Their reactions reflect a close-knit bond that goes beyond the basketball court — a sisterhood that’s cheering on Hall as she begins her pro career.
Bree Hall was selected with the 20th overall pick in the second round of the 2025 WNBA Draft. She joins an Indiana Fever squad loaded with talent, including former USC teammate Aliyah Boston, who was the No. 1 overall pick in 2023 and the reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year.
As Hall prepares to suit up for her first preseason game on Saturday against the Washington Mystics, she brings with her a defensive edge honed under Coach Dawn Staley. Known for her lateral quickness and screen navigation, Hall was often tasked with guarding the opponent’s top perimeter threat. Offensively, she showed consistency, averaging 6.3 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.0 assists per game last season, while knocking down 38.3% from beyond the arc.
She also adds valuable championship experience, having helped South Carolina reach the 2025 NCAA title game. Although the Gamecocks fell to UConn 82–59, one of the most emotional moments of the night wasn’t on the scoreboard.
As Raven Johnson left the floor with four minutes left, tears filled her eyes. Hall, ever the teammate, put a comforting hand on her shoulder — a quiet, powerful show of support in a heartbreaking moment.
While Bree Hall begins her WNBA journey, Raven Johnson is returning to South Carolina for her senior season, determined to finish what they started. One is stepping onto the league’s biggest stage, the other staying back to lead — but their bond remains unshaken.
