Bronnie James won't be the only son of the NBA great on the USC basketball team this season.
DJ Rodman, the son of Detroit Pistons and Chicago Bulls Hall of Famer Dennis Rodman, announced Tuesday that he will transfer from Washington state to USC to play his final collegiate season.
It won't be the first time James has played with an NBA progeny, as he played with Dwyane Wade's son, Zaire Wade, at Sierra Canyon in high school.
The young Rodman recently finished his senior season at Washington State, where he averaged 9.6 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game while shooting 41.3% from the field and 38.1% from 3-point range. At worst, the 6-foot-4 forward figures to be a solid depth piece for a completely revamped Trojans team next season.
James announced his commitment last week, giving the program the top 30 recruit as well as the most followed player in amateur basketball. It had already acquired the talent of Isaiah Collier, ranked by Rivals as the No. 1 recruit of the Class of 2023, as well as four-star forward Earnton Page.
He also may not be done, as five-star center Aaron Bradshaw, currently a Kentucky commitment, is represented by Clutch Sports to NIL deals and if the Wildcats elect to return for star big man Oscar Tshebwe. Dole is rumored as a potential USC addition. Fifth year Bradshaw is ranked as Rivals' No. 2 recruit, right behind Collier.
All that talent will be in addition to the returning Boogie Ellis, Kobe Johnson and Joshua Morgan. Ellis led the team in scoring last year, while both Morgan and Johnson made the Pac-12 All-Defensive Team.
