Summary
The USC Triple-Double Podcast returns with co-hosts Shotgun Spratling and Connor Morrissette (aka Mr. Triple Double) breaking down an extremely active offseason for the USC men's and women's basketball programs.
Shotgun and Connor dive into USC men's basketball's new-look roster after nine transfer portal additions, highlighted by the Thursday addition of Big East Most Improved Player Desmond Claude from Xavier. They look at what each of the new transfers bring to the table and how their game could translate for the Trojans with almost all of the additions taking a step up from the mid-major level. Shotgun and Connor then pick their starting fives from the current roster of Trojans with one scholarship spot remaining.
After a short break, the podcasting duo look at the released Big Ten opponents for the 2024-25 season and try to decipher what exactly it could mean for the Trojans and the amount of travel they may have to endure.
The final segment of the Triple-Double Podcast is a discussion about the impact and implications of the Women of Troy landing former Pac-12 foes Kiki Iriafen and Talia von Oelhoffen in the transfer portal, bringing in two elite talents to fill the void caused by the graduation of Ivy League transfers Kaitlyn Davis, McKenzie Forbes and Kayla Padilla. Is is now championship or bust for the Trojans?
