A year ago, coach Steve Lavin had 12 newcomers on his USD basketball roster. This year, he has 10. That’s where the similarities end. Lavin has assembled his second Toreros team in a far different manner than his first, a roster of fifth-year senior transfers assembled in the weeks after he was hired two Aprils ago.

which has also skewed toward building through high school recruits, has lost a key player to the transfer portal in each of the last four years. Tritons guard Roddie Anderson III led Big West freshman in scoring last season at 15.8 points. He’s now at Boise State. But USD may not have much choice. The school, Lavin concedes, is not currently equipped to compete in the ruthless world of NIL, and maybe shouldn’t try.
