USC super team? Trojans add talented transfer Talia von Oelhoffen to loaded roster
LA TimesIn the middle of her official visit to USC last Friday, Talia von Oelhoffen posted on TikTok. Von Oelhoffen made her commitment to USC official on Monday morning, joining Iriafen and a stacked roster that already included superstar JuJu Watkins and senior Rayah Marshall, as well as the No. A combo guard who averaged 10.7 points, five assists and 4.1 rebounds per game last season, she’ll also provide USC with another seasoned ball handler in the backcourt, a role the Trojans often struggled to fill last season, even as they made a run to the Elite Eight. Gottlieb’s formula of filling out a roster around Watkins with talented grad transfers certainly worked well last season, as the coach brought in three Ivy League transfers — Kayla Padilla, Kaitlyn Davis and McKenzie Forbes — all of whom had critical roles. But now, with two star transfers on the way to supplement a budding superstar and a stellar recruiting class, the Trojans could very well enter next season as the national title favorite, a place they haven’t occupied since the program’s height in the early ‘80s, when USC won back-to-back national titles.
