The USC Trojans are still on the hunt for their point guard of the future, and another option has popped up.
After making the top-4 for Bishop Gorman guard Zaon Collins earlier in the week, the Trojans are now among the top-8 for another class of 2021 point guard, Frankie Collins out of Arizona.

Collins listed USC alongside Michigan, Kansas, Arizona State, New Mexico, Vanderbilt, Georgetown and Auburn.
The six-foot-one, 180 pound point guard is the No. 58 ranked player, and No. 9 ranked point guard, according to 247Sports composite rankings – although he’s only No. 79 (and No. 10 point guard) in their individual rankings.
Still, he’s a clear four-star guard with good passing ability who has continued to improve his stock. Here’s a note from 247Sports’ evaluation on Collins last year:
He has good size and length for the position, is a high-level passer, plays at his own pace, an improving shooter/scorer especially from midrange and in and also is a plus defender due to his length, feel and quickness. Collins has made major strides as a prospect over the last year.
Kansas is probably the frontrunner here, but for a USC team that does not have a lot of guard depth on the current roster, or in the class of 2020, adding Collins would be a huge boost to this team’s long-term plans.
