So how good will USC be with Collier & Bronny?

Lost a couple 4* 9ppg guys to the portal not sure who is returning I don't see any portal wins yet.

This is a Chemistry meltdown

Not that it means much, but Torvik has them at 12 after adding James.

I could see this as a disaster waiting to happen considering the kids dad.

As of right now, they're probably the team to beat in the Pac-12. Isaiah Collier and Boogie Ellis both have All-American potential. Bronny should be solid. Morgan is a really good rim protector. Kobe Johnson is a returnig starter. Iwuchukwu should play the full season. Recently got a transfer commitment from DJ Rodman, too (Dennis Rodman's son). He averaged about 10/6 at Wazzu.

I don't see any reason why USC shouldn't be the preseason favorites in the Pac-12.

Collier. Ok, yes a 5* PG consensus style is going to really raise the team profile. Agreed. Rodman is a nice get too. They could be an interesting team to keep an eye on. We are boom or bust territory.

If I were doing a way-too-early Braceketology, I'd probably give USC a 3 or 4 seed.

Honestly, I don't see any teams filled with FR making an impact in today's transfer market.

The only way is if the FR is fully developed and will take the abuse from the SR laden teams.

I wouldn't say they're exactly filled with freshmen. They're returning 3 starters - Boogie was 1st Team All-Conference, and Kobe Johnson/Josh Morgan made the all-defensive team. And then they bring in a starter from Washington State. And they also have a 5-star kid in Iwuchukwu who came off the bench last year.

And Isaiah Collier isn't a typical freshmen. He's the #1 rated recruit in the country. He and Boogie Ellis are both legitimate All-American candidates. They have a lot of good pieces, including quite a few returning players.

Isaiah Collier-Boogie Ellis very well could be the best backcourt duo in the country.
