Rodney Rice is back, hungry for glory, with sights set on the Final Four as USC Trojans gear up for a breakout season. After a promising start last year—averaging over 20 points in his first six games and helping USC go 6-0—his season was derailed by injury. Still, Rice is fired up, praising the team’s talent, drive, and coaching, with a Big Ten title as his top goal. The Trojans are stacked with returning stars like Rice and Arenas, plus high-impact transfers KJ Lewis and 7’1 Eric Reibe.
