South Carolina Gamecocks women's basketball player, Chloe Kitts, turned heads in her latest Instagram post. She posted three photos of herself in a beautiful white dress with the caption, "back again." Fellow players and fans were quick to flock her post with compliments.

Ta'Niya Latson, who just transferred to the Gamecocks, was one of the first to reply with a short, supportive message.

She simply wrote one word: "Perioddd."

Many other players and fans had supportive responses too.

Te-Hina Paopao, who was just drafted by the Atlanta Dream of the WNBA, replied, "I felt the aura 3 scrolls ago gah leeeeee."

And current teammate Raven Johnson replied, "big mama."

Kamilla Cardoso, who plays for the Chicago Sky, wrote, "."

Knisha Godfrey of TCU wrote, "," and Jordan Codio of the Longhorns replied, "omfgggg."

Kitts played a huge role in the Gamecocks' success this past season. For example, in March during their game against Vanderbilt, the team was only five points ahead with four minutes left. As momentum seemed to be slipping away, Kitts stepped in with a 7-0 solo run to secure their win.

Later in March, when playing against Duke, Kitts sank two free throws in the last few seconds, stealing the win. During those free throws, she thought about coach Dawn Staley's belief in her and let that fuel her performance.

"I got the ball and I went to the line and I was just taking a deep breath," The Mirror reported. "I told myself that my coach wanted me to have the ball at the end of the game because she knew I could make my free throws, and I told myself that I'm really good at basketball and I made both of them."

Kitts isn't the only member of her family playing basketball. Sister Kylee Kitts was a redshirt freshman with Florida last season, and she just transferred to Ohio State.
