USC Basketball: Freshman Team Becomes Top-Rated USC Recruiting Class Ever

They did their job!

Your University of Southern California Trojans are in the midst of preparing for a huge 2023-2024 season in the Galen Center that will be sold out all year long as everybody drops by to see how of their returners glue with newest freshmen Bronny James, Isaiah Collier, Arrinten Page and Brandon Gardner. These are four of the most marquee names in the basketball world and all have high school resumes under their belts that had them poised as some of the best players in the nation.

Just seeing someone like Collier, who was the number-one ranked player in his graduating class of 2023, one would assume that he would opt to join a different school such as Michigan or even consider a route growing in popularity which is the G-League. However, the coaching staff won him over and the same went for the rest of their top recruits.

In facts, USC's basketball Twitter account revealed that their 2023 recruiting class was ranked as their best one ever.

All of them have something to prove with James and Collier looking to show that they deserve all of the hype they've been getting as top prospects. Page also should be seeking to establish himself as one of the best big men at the college level and Gardner wants to raise his stock as well.

Let's see if the history within this team goes beyond just preseason rankings!
