COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Suspended South Carolina forward Ashlyn Watkins has had the charges against her dismissed, according to online judicial records. —The State—
Watkins charges dismissed
- Thread starter hahnenkampf
- Start date
No surprise. It's likely the other party didn't want to cooperate, and Watkins is a college student, the solicitor was unlikely to push for anything.
Charges being dismissed for college arguments, threats, even fights is common. Barely a week goes by that some student isn't involved in a fight in a dorm or something. Typically, some internal discipline is handed out, maybe probation of some type, and that's it.
Good for Watkins. Now, hopefully she can earn her way back into Staley's good graces very quickly. I expect that's been the toughest part given Staley has been known to kick good players off the team when they weren't doing what she expected.

Update:
Watkins is back on the team. Suspension is lifted per The State newspaper.
We play at Clemson on Wednesday Nov 20th.
Any idea why that game is scheduled for 5pm on a Wednesday?
Clemson plays Presbyterian next week at 11am on a Monday. Then the next week they play UAB at 12am on a Monday.
Those are odd times if you want to try to generate some fan support for a new coach.
