Just to follow-up on this morning’s post where I noted how coaches do not want to compete. One reason Lincoln Riley took the USC job was because he did not want to go to the SEC with Oklahoma. And he took the USC job before the Trojans moved to the Big Ten. So he gets no credit for playing a Big Ten schedule. He also … Continue reading USC Notes: Basketball Adds Another Scorer, For Better Or Worse

The whole Alijah Arenas situation has become so sloppy. He hasn’t made any public announcements, entered his name in the NBA Draft and now has suddenly withdrawn it. Arenas returning to USC will be cheered in many quarters. But I will stand by what I said earlier today. He took 13 shots a game last season (too many); shot 34 percent from the field and … Continue reading Alijah Arenas Changes Mind, Will Return To USC

The NBA released its list of its of underclassmen who have declared for the NBA Draft and Alijah Arenas was on the list. Not exactly a surprise but I find it kind of classless to enter the draft without even a statement for the USC fans or a word of appreciation for the basketball program that supported you.

The former USC player said there are “false and misleading narratives regarding his character and age have circulated publicly.” He added that he “is a committed, team-first competitor who approaches the game with intensity, professionalism, and respect, and has consistently shown resilience while persevering … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: A Sore Subject Returns
Eric Musselman wants a point guard. USC has contacted Colby Garland (20.3 points, 4.6 assists) of San Jose State and Jay Rodgers (11.1 points, 6.9 assists) of Central Connecticut State. USC forward Amarion Dickerson is the latest player to enter the transfer portal. Musselman better get busy because right now USC doesn’t look great. One thing that doesn’t get talked about much is that some … Continue reading USC Tuesday Buzz: Eric Musselman Needs To Get Busy
