On Wednesday, USC men’s basketball picked up a commitment from five-star 2026 recruit Christian Collins. A top-five player in the class, Collins is the third five-star to join the Trojans in the 2026 cycle.
In an interview with ESPN, Collins discussed why he picked USC.
“I want to go where I can help a team win, and at USC I feel I will have a major role,” Collins said. “It is important for me to be prepared; I feel I will be prepared for the NBA because of my role.
"Also, I felt they have a family atmosphere. I live close to campus. I was looking at where I could be challenged and develop. I watched [their] practices, and they were intense and I learned a lot. Coach Muss [Eric Musselman] and staff will challenge me. Coach Muss is a good coach; he is aggressive with player development, and he is down to earth off the court.”
Despite disappointing seasons in his first two years at USC, Musselman is putting together a very strong recruiting class this cycle. Entering the 2026-2027 season, there will be strong pressure for him to finally put together a successful season on the court.
