On the other side of the transfer portal, USC has lost seven players from last season’s team to the portal; Saint Thomas, Rashaun Agee, Desmond Claude, Jalen Shelley, Wesley Yates III, Kevin Patton Jr., and Isaiah Elohim.

Claude and Yates were USC’s two leading scorers from a year ago, with Claude averaging 15.8 points per game and Yates averaging 14.1. USC hopes that their incoming transfer class will be able to make up for their production.

USC’s top incoming recruit for 2025 is five-star guard Alijah Arenas. Alijah is the son of former NBA All-Star Gilbert Arenas. Alijah Arenas recently had a scary situation with a car crash that resulted in him being in a coma. Since then, he has began to walk and talk again but the question of him playing basketball is further down his road to recovery.

It was an up and down season for coach Eric Musselman in his first yer in Los Angeles. The Trojans finished the year of 17-18 overall and 7-13 in the Big Ten. It didn't help that this was USC's first season in the Big Ten in the program, a conference that is considered to be one of the best basketball leagues in the country with programs such as Purdue, Michigan State, Michigan, Wisconsin, just to name a few.

USC missed the NCAA Tournament for the second straight season. USC participated in the inaugural "College Basketball Crown" tournament in Las Vegas. USC won their first round game against Tulane before getting knocked out by Villanova in the quarterfinals

Musselman was previously at Arkansas and before that Nevada. He has thrived at multiple stops and will look to do the same at USC.
