A final piece appears to have been locked into place for the USC men\u2019s basketball team<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The commitment of transfer Isaac Bruns<\/a>, a 6-foot-5 guard from South Dakota<\/a>, may have completed the Trojans\u2019 roster for next season.<\/p>\n

The Trojans have now received commitments from seven transfers who averaged a combined 90.1 points and 34.6 rebounds at their respective schools last season, infusing their new team with significant experience and proven production.<\/p>\n

Bruns announced his commitment on the social media platform X on Thursday, posting a photo of himself in a USC jersey.<\/p>\n

He was a high-level scorer for the Coyotes last season, averaging a team-leading 20.8 points per game before suffering a season-ending foot injury in January. He made 39.2% of his 3-pointers last season and shot 44.7% overall.<\/p>\n

USC coach Eric Musselman could be finished with transfer portal acquisitions after adding Bruns alongside forward Joshua Hughes (formerly of Evansville), center Eric Reibe<\/a> (UConn) and guards K.J. Lewis<\/a> (Georgetown), Jalen Cox<\/a> (Colgate), Jadis Jones<\/a> (Lindenwood) and Aaron Hunkin-Claytor (Hawaii<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The newcomers will join a roster that\u2019s bringing back three key players in guard Rodney Rice, swingman Alijah Arenas<\/a> and forward Jacob Cofie<\/a>. Those returners are likely starters, leaving one opening on the perimeter and another in the post.<\/p>\n

The Trojans are also bringing in a heralded freshman class that includes three McDonald\u2019s All-Americans in forward Christian Collins<\/a> and 7-foot twins Adonis and Darius Ratliff<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This appears to be Musselman\u2019s deepest and most balanced team as he seeks his first NCAA Tournament appearance with the Trojans going into his third season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A final piece appears to have been locked into place for the USC men\u2019s basketball team.
