USC Basketball Secures Jaden Brownell Transfer from Samford

USC men's basketball has strengthened its roster with the addition of Samford transfer Jaden Brownell, who averaged 14 points and 4 rebounds per game last season while shooting nearly 40% from three-point range. Brownell's commitment follows the loss of several players due to graduation and the transfer portal, including second-leading scorer Wesley Yates III. He is the fourth transfer added to the Trojans this offseason, joining others like Jacob Cofie from Virginia and Amarion Dickerson from Robert Morris. Coach Eric Musselman is focusing on building a 'position-less' team that can enhance offensive spacing, which was a struggle for USC last season. The team is still awaiting a decision from star guard Desmond Claude, who may return or pursue professional opportunities. With significant roster changes, the Trojans aim to solidify their lineup ahead of the upcoming season, scheduled to begin in November.
