McKay Anderson; Jr.; G; 6-5; Walk-on transfer from Pasadena City College has two years of eligibility remaining.

Bennie Boatwright; Sr.; F; 6-10; Will have the green light any time he’s open but needs to make his teammates better.

J’Raan Brooks; Fr.; F; 6-9; Won’t be the freshman generating the most headlines but could find a role providing depth.

Devin Fleming; Sr.; G; 6-2; Senior walk-on has played minimally during first two seasons at USC.

Jonah Mathews; Jr.; G; 6-3; Would have been MVP of the Pac-12 tournament if Trojans had beaten Arizona.

Charles O’Bannon Jr.; So.; G; 6-6; Five-star recruit had a quiet freshman year but appears ready to break out on the wing.

Kevin Porter Jr.; Fr.; G; 6-6; Late bloomer recruit had the prep basketball scene buzzing with his elite athleticism.

Nick Rakocevic; Jr.; F; 6-11; After two years providing quality depth, this is his time to show what he can do inside.

Derryck Thornton; Jr.; G; 6-3; Should have first crack at replacing Jordan McLaughlin with Elijah Weaver injured.

Jordan Usher; So.; F; 6-7; With a big frame and top athleticism, he’ll allow the Trojans to play a small or big lineup.

Victor Uyaelunmo; So.; F; 6-11; He can give a boost defensively as a gifted shot blocker, needs to grow offensively.

Elijah Weaver; Fr.; G; 6-5; Big things are expected of the point guard once he returns from ankle surgery rehab.
