Alijah Arenas returning to USC is huge for Eric Musselman
Alijah Arenas joins a stacked roster and is primed for a big season at USC. The Trojans shouldn't just make the NCAA Tournament; they should advance
The decision has finally arrived. Eric Musselman finally got the word on his USC star. Alijah Arenas turned away from the NBA draft, and he will return to a stacked USC Trojan roster.
Everything that could go right for the Trojans this offseason has gone right so far. Alijah Arenas had an up-and-down freshman season, but he showed flashes of being a star. In the month of February, he had 3 straight games with scoring outings of 29, 24, and 25 points.
He looked like he was ready to enter his name among the best freshmen in college basketball. An injury set him back as long as a shooting slump to end the season. Alijah Arenas finished the season averaging 14.
1 points per game in 14 games. Seeing exactly what he was able to return with a torn achilles injury and a car crash. Having that elite stretch in February and managing to play 14 games was a spectacular outcome for his freshman season.
