USC basketball loses recruiting battle to Colorado for four-star forward

USC basketball has been collecting a lot of wins, but this battle went to Tad Boyle and Colorado.

2024 four-star forward Sebastian Rancik, the 113th-ranked recruit in the nation per 247Sports, announced a few days ago that he will be joining the Colorado Buffaloes.

Rancik is a 6’9, 210-pound forward from Bratislava, Slovakia. He moved to the U.S. to pursue his basketball career. His profile has risen in his last two years at J Serra Catholic in the Los Angeles area. He’s a very good shooter for his size, has plenty of skill as a passer and driver, and plays with a tremendous amount of confidence.

Rancik picked Colorado over Oklahoma and USC to give the Buffaloes a top-25 class for 2024.

Oklahoma fans were right about Lincoln Riley, at least for this specific season.

USC assistants need to be coaching for their jobs.

Lincoln Riley did not assemble an elite 2023 roster, which surprised us and a lot of other observers.

Is USC ready to win in 2024 with Miller Moss or Malachi Nelson at quarterback? Lincoln Riley has to be honest about how he answers that question.

Brent Venables is coaching Oklahoma far better this year than Lincoln Riley is coaching USC. It’s up to Riley to change that reality.
