The ex-Arkansas Razorbacks head coach has been steadily building through the portal.
Former Xavier Big East Most Improved Player Desmond Claude , a rising junior, joins an intriguing crop of 11 incoming USC Trojans as new head coach Eric Musselman builds out his revamped club. The 6-foot-7 guard is one of nine transfers who will be joining the Cardinal and Gold in the fall."It honestly felt like a perfect fit from the first call," Claude said."The academic support, basketball resources and basketball vision all seemed custom-made for me.
"The vision that Coach Musselman laid out for me blends perfectly with my playmaking ability, NBA aspirations and ongoing development as a lead guard," Claude continued."I'm excited to make the next big jump in my development and I'm especially excited to be a part of the USC family." Last season with the Musketeers, Claude posted averages of 16.6 points on .426/.239/.794 shooting splits, 4.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and 1.1 steals per bout.USC Women's Basketball: Lindsay Gottlieb Reflects On Possibility 3 Pac-12 Teams Could Earn March Madness Top Seeds
