The USC Trojans men’s basketball team is ranked in the top 25 to begin the season, and the status of Bronny James is still up in the air. But, the return of Boogie Ellis, the addition of five-star recruit Isaiah Collier, and so many other moves have the Trojans in position to achieve at a high level.
Washington State transfer D.J. Rodman is a big piece of the puzzle, and Jon Rothstein of College Hoops Today and CBS Sports mentioned Rodman as one of his top glue guys to watch for this upcoming season.
“The Trojans haven’t had a classic ‘Glue Guy’ in recent years, but Rodman should fit the bill,” Rothstein wrote. “The son of former NBA star Dennis Rodman, DJ Rodman has the requisites to be a missing piece for USC at power forward. A transfer from Washington State, the 6-6 Rodman averaged 9.6 points and 5.8 rebounds last season.”
Rodman should give a big boost to the Trojans. He is familiar with the Pac-12 from his Washington State days, and he is the son of Dennis Rodman.
But, with all of the pieces the Trojans have, it will be important for Rodman to find his role and be a glue guy.
