USC Men's Basketball: Expert Expect Trojans Among Finalists to Recruit Forward
Four-star senior forward Brody Kozlowski is ranked among the better prep prospects out in the Western region of the United States.
At 6-foot-7 and close to 200 pounds, the combo forward can toggle between both the 3 and 4 spots. Versatility is the name of the game for Kozlowski -- who can shoot from the perimeter and also rebound quite well for someone his size.
With his recruitment rounding into shape, Tristan Freeman of Busting Brackets provided an update on which schools Kozlowski is considering:
According to the report, Kozlowski is down to the following schools: BYU, USC, Cal, Nevada, UCLA, and San Diego State.
The West Coast flavor of Kozlowski's recruitment could bode well for the Trojans. There are a number of players -- namely Isaiah Collier and Boogie Ellis -- who will likely depart after this year. Andy Enfield will need to add depth to the squad, though also perimeter shooting.
Freeman went into the recruitment from USC's perspective:
"The Trojans are going to lose D.J. Rodman after next season but there’s already some depth in the frontcourt. Four-star forwards Brandon Gardner and Arrinten Page join the team, along with former five-star prospect, Kijani Wright."

Kozlowski is a fascinating prospect from the standpoint that he still has some physical development to experience. Assuming he gets bigger, stronger, and more athletic, you could be looking at a very solid college player.
As his YouTube highlights show, Kozlowski is a three-level scorer. Being 6-foot-7 with deep range is a skill set many colleges are seeking. Without a doubt, USC would be extremely excited to get Kozlowski on its roster next season.
