USC men’s basketball lands Lindenwood transfer Jadis Jones in portal
The Trojans have once again been highly active in the portal this offseason
Eric Musselman and USC men’s basketball have continued to be active in the transfer portal . On Wednesday, the Trojans picked up another commitment, landing Lindenwood transfer Jadis Jones. Jones has spent the past two seasons with the Lions.
As a sophomore this past year, he averaged 15. 3 points per game. “Jones has been one of the most impressive players in the Ohio Valley Conference with Lindenwood during the last two years,” Andrew Pistone of College Sports Wire wrote .
“He was the conference's Rookie of the Year during his freshman campaign, and was named to the All-Ohio Valley Conference First Team this past year. “He's a career 56 percent shooter from the field, which speaks to the guard's ability to knock down looks in the mid-range and near the rim. “Perhaps Jones' most remarkable skill set is his ability to rebound at an elite level for a guard, or for anyone.
The former Lindenwood star averaged 8. 5 boards per contest last season after averaging nearly six rebounds per game as a freshman. Jones is USC’s sixth transfer portal addition of the offseason.
