Gone: G Julian Jacobs (early pro departure), F Nikola Jovanovich (early pro departure), G Katin Reinhardt (transferred to Marquette)
Key newcomers: G Shaqquan Aaron (Louisville transfer), G Jonah Mathews (freshman), G DeโAnthony Melton (freshman), F Nick Rakocevic (freshman)
Why this pick: Just when Andy Enfield appeared to have USC turned around, he suffered the weirdest set of early losses in the conference. Jacobs and Jovanovich declared for an NBA Draft that had no interest in them and Reinhardt took off for a third college despite having played the second-most minutes on the Trojans last season. Still, point guard Jordan McLaughlin has enough returning help around him, including guard Elijah Stewart and stretch-four Bennie Boatwright, that the Trojans will still be competitive in the Pac-12.ย
