Now USC is loosing 3 players in the portal

It sure would suck being a college coach these days with players transferring out all the time. University of Southern California is now losing 3 players in the portal. I am sure some are leaving because they want more playing time or more money. Some like Olivia Miles are probably transferring out because of team chemistry. Right now our men’s team is greatly benefiting from the portal but I don’t think our women’s team is.

Roster so far

The scholarship limit has been raised to 15 this year.

Adding some depth pieces to the front court, at the very least, would be a wise idea.
Putting 15 players on scholarship would seem to leave at least 5 of them disappointed in playing time, unless there are some injuries. It's almost impossible to get more than 10 into a real rotation, and 9 might sometimes be stretching things a bit. Do we know for sure that UofL is going to give out all 15 scholarships? Also, I thought there was still some final NCAA approval (any day now?) needed for 15 to be the limit.

Roster so far

As it stands now, there's two scholarships remaining. Hope Kelsey can land one true big man and a wing scorer.

Freshman Ament would fill the wing scorer nicely, but does anyone know who the better big men are in the portal? A physical big body who also has strong hands.

I wonder though if Kelsey will seek a back up PG? That dude from Iowa maybe but I haven't heard much about him lately. Does Kelsey look for a shorter, speedy PG? Someone in the the mode of Tennessee's Zeigler?

These final two spots are going to be interesting, unless of course any current player decides to enter the portal. Hadley may see his minutes drastically going down, especially if Ament signs.
