Four-star forward Christopher Nwuli includes USC in top six

USC tries to keep an in-state four-star basketball prospect home in LA.

Christopher Nwuli has narrowed his list to six schools. That list includes the USC Trojans. The 6-foot-7, 200-pound power forward is considering USC, UCLA, San Diego State, Utah, TCU and Louisville.

Nwuli, a 2025 four-star wing prospect who played at Wasatch Academy in Utah last season, recently transferred and enrolled at Sierra Canyon in Chatsworth (California). Two seasons ago, Nwuli played for Bishop Gorman in Las Vegas.

247Sports director of scouting Adam Finkelstein gave the following evaluation on Nwuli:

“Chris Nwuli is a high-level athlete. That term gets thrown around a lot, but in Nwuli’s case it’s very literal. He plays high above the rim, covers the court, can slide laterally, and has very good functional strength. While his skill-set remains a work-in-progress, he’s very dangerous in transition and capable of making the type of explosive finishes that can immediately change the momentum of a game. He’s also very competitive and a potentially standout defender with the tools to be versatile guarding multiple positions. If he can keep developing his shooting to the point that he can make open, rhythm threes, he’ll have a translatable role for years to come.” This was written at ScoutHoops.com.

Nwuli averaged 8.9 points and 3.7 rebounds per game as a junior last season. According to the On3 Industry Rankings, Nwuli is the No. 72 overall prospect in the 2025 cycle. He’s also the No. 16 power forward prospect.
