DJ Rodman commits to USC men’s hoops, will team up with Bronny James
Rodman averaged 9.6 points and 5.8 rebs per game in 31 contests for WSU last season
SI.com — Rodman (6-6) gives USC the forward it so desperately needed with Drew Petersongraduating and Tre White transferring to Louisville.
We expect Rodman to start for USC next season alongside the guard trio of Boogie Ellis, Isaiah Collierand Kobe Johnson. USC’s starting center will either be Joshua Morgan or Vincent Iwuchukwu.
Rodman became a WSU fan favorite, known for his energy and gritty style of play – Rodman did the “dirty work,” battling for rebounds, taking charges and diving on the floor for loose balls.
Dennis Rodman’s son didn’t put up big numbers for WSU, but his leadership and hustle will be difficult for the Cougars to replace.
The addition of Rodmanputs USC at 11 scholarships for next season assuming James is on scholarship. The scholarship limit is 12, which means the Trojans may not be done in the transfer portal.
“All these ups and downs, lefts and rights led me to Fight On,” Rodmansaid on Instagram.
This recruiting momentum comes just 72 hours afterBronny James, the son of LeBron and a 4-star recruit, announced his commitment to the Trojans, who are trending toward the top 15-20 range in preseason polls.
