Even before Eric Musselman was hired as USC's new coach, Isaiah Collier's return seemed unlikely as he was projected as a first-round draft pick.
Freshman guard Isaiah Collier is planning to enter the NBA draft, ESPN reported Wednesday, leaving USC's roster almost completely bare as new head coach Eric Musselman takes over. Even before Musselman's hire, Collier's return seemed unlikely as he was projected as a first-round draft pick. The 6-foot-5 point guard was the No. 1 overall recruit and averaged 16.3 points, 2.9 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game while being named to the Pac-12 all-freshman team.
The Trojans may also be without any incoming freshmen as all three of the program's high school signees asked out of the national letters of intent and opened up their recruitment after the coaching change. Musselman has been combing the transfer portal to patch up the roster. He flipped former Massachusetts guard Josh Cohen's commitment from Arkansas to the Trojans last week and added a commitment from former Penn guard Clark Slajchert on Wednesday.
