Hello and welcome to the U.S.C. Triple double podcast.

I'm your host Shotgun Sp spiling along with my co-host

Connor Morissette, Mr. Triple Double himself. You guys may be thinking, wait, a triple double podcast. Yeah, basketball season is right around the corner, guys.

So Connor, how are we doing today? And I just say, I'm getting a little intrigued by basketball season, even though a lot of positives

coming out from the USC offense and football the last couple of weeks.

But we've got to throw some basketball love out there too because their season will get rolling

before we know it.

I'm doing well.

Thank you for asking.

And you had a chance to watch a couple of practices.

So I'm excited to pick your brain and hear

your thoughts about Eric Musselman's new look, 2025, 26, USC men's basketball roster. There's

a lot of intrigue. You're absolutely right about that. Intrigue and a lot of new faces,

as we'll talk about, yeah, this is a completely new roster, so it was fun to get a chance to see them for

a couple practices and see what they got. But for any first-time listeners, the USC

Triple Double podcast is part of the Peristop podcast family shows. The USC Triple Double is a podcast

focused on the Trojan men and women of Troy basketball programs. And each week during the season,

we'll be breaking down all the latest action and looking

forward to the upcoming matchups all that type of stuff well this is the off season so while we're

not focused on particular matchups we are going to have a special guest which is something

we often have during the season and it's actually not a newcomer without further ado let's jump

right in to our special guests this week we We welcome his six-year senior wing, Terrence Williams II, who's the lone returning player from last year's roster, and that's not how it was designed. Unfortunately for Terrence, he injures his wrist, breaks a bone, and thinks maybe he's going to be back as the season progresses. All right, going to come back and it just doesn't happen. So we're going to talk a little bit about the challenges of that. And also the fact that he does get this extra year and the fact that maybe this is a better roster than last year. So we'll see maybe just a better opportunity for him overall. You know, sometimes life gives those challenges and, you know, brings you some fruit at the end of it anyways. Terrence, thanks so much for taking the time to join us, and thanks so much to House of Victory for helping put this together. Yes, sir. Thank you for having me, y'all. Well, let's start with that injury. First, just, just where are you in the recovery phase? You know, we've seen that you've been back out of practice. Still not quite 100% it doesn't look like, you know, if we're fully clear to do everything. But where are you at in the rehab process? And how do you feel right now? Yeah, so, I mean, the rehab process is going well. I'm clear to do on-court activities, but I'm still battling scar tissue right now. So We try, just trying to loosen that up. You know, it's going to take a little bit, a long process.
