USC Weekend Notes: Has Andy Enfield Made Decision On Bronny James?

Bronny James was more than respectable against UCLA last night but played only 14 minutes. Has Andy Enfield decided James won’t be back and he doesn’t want to invest more time in James? Bronny made his only shot, had two rebounds, two assists and no turnovers. He had a +8 plus-minus rating. It seems to me Enfield’s made a decision on James because he’s kept … Continue reading USC Weekend Notes: Has Andy Enfield Made Decision On Bronny James?

USC Sunday Buzz: The Best Part Of Victory Over UCLA

The best part of USC’s 62-56 victory over UCLA on Saturday night is it prevents the media from continuing to carry water for Mick Cronin. UCLA is 14-13 overall and will need to win the Pac-12 Tournament to make the NCAA Tournament.

A Telling Scene In Berkeley

LeBron James, who sat near USC’s bench last night, shared words with Trojan players during timeouts on multiple occasions at Haas Pavilion. Do you blame him? He doesn’t respect Andy Enfield. He sees the team losing. The staff doesn’t move him. His son probably isn’t making the impact he wants. The big question is whether Bronny comes back, transfers or tries to turn pro. Coming … Continue reading A Telling Scene In Berkeley

USC Notes: Experience Matters

One thing I’ve heard from several sources close to the USC basketball program is that a problem is not just Andy Enfield, but the coaching staff overall. Specifically, USC hasn’t really recovered from losing Jason Hart, who left in 2021 and was often not just the recruiter but the adult in the room. “They have limited experience,” the source said. “For some reason Enfield doesn’t … Continue reading USC Notes: Experience Matters
