Legend Smiley, a promising 6-foot-5, 180-pound sophomore shooting guard, is a target for USC basketball. The two-guard for Garfield High School in Seattle is on USC’s radar for the 2025 recruting class.
Roydell Smiley, his father, played at Garfield High alongside Brandon Roy and Will Conro. He then played at USC for two years after leaving an Iowa-based junior college.
Legend Smiley has offers from Washington, Washington State, UNLV, Utah State, Montana, USC, Gonzaga, LSU, Alabama, Utah, Cal, Oregon State, Utah and Pepperdine.
Legend averaged 12.8 points per game, 5 rebounds and 5 assists last season. He ranks as the 147th best player in the nation, the 23rd best shooting guard and the No. 2 prospect in the state of Washington.

USC assistants need to be coaching for their jobs.

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