THE SIDELINES : ‘Big-Time’ Forward Moves to USC

Forward Yamen Sanders has transferred from Central Michigan to USC, Trojans basketball Coach George Raveling announced today.

Sanders, 6-foot-8 and 210 pounds, averaged 6 points and 3 rebounds as a sophomore. He has two years of eligibility remaining, but he must sit out the coming season.

“Yamen is a big-time rebounder and an extremely inside player,” Raveling said. “He gives us depth and a promising future at a very important position.”
