Summary
The USC Triple-Double Podcast returns with co-hosts Shotgun Spratling and Connor Morrissette (aka Mr. Triple Double) talking about the first look at USC men's basketball's completely new roster in action following a pair of practices open to the media.
A jealous Shotgun peppers Connor with questions about what he observed during the practices of both the new coaching staff and all the new players. He also inquires about what Connor was able to glean from the conversations he's been able to have with the players following the practices.
But first, an entertaining and enlightening conversation with new assistant coach Michael Musselman, who isn’t only entering his first year with the Trojans but also his first year as a full-time assistant after spending five years on staff at Arkansas in a variety of roles from director of recruiting to director of basketball operations. Musselman breaks down life in the "portal house" in Manhattan Beach and discusses how the USC coaching staff went about putting together a new roster from an almost entirely blank slate, including the types of players the Trojans were hunting and how they were able to sift and sort
The podcasting duo also look at the draft selections of Isaiah Collier, going with the penultimate pick of the first round No. 29 to the Utah Jazz, and Bronny James being picked by the Los Angeles Lakers at No. 55 after James' agent reportedly told any teams other than the Suns or Lakers not to pick him or he'd spend the season playing in Australia.
