Top-150 junior Xavion Staton offered by USC basketball

Xavion Staton could be the next great Andy Enfield defensive big man. Enfield has recruited Onyeka Okongwu, Evan Mobley, and Vince Iwuchukwu. Now Staton could be next in line. Staton, the 7-foot big man out of Sierra Vista High School in Las Vegas, has been offered by USC basketball.

Rated a three-star prospect, Staton is ranked No. 142 overall in the 247Sports 2025 class. He is rated the 19th best center and No. 2 overall player in the state of Nevada.

Staton has offers from Creighton, UCLA, Auburn, Arizona State, Texas, Kansas, Illinois, Texas A&M, San Diego State, Memphis, LSU, Iowa and many others.

The class of 2025 center is one of the most complete defensive players in this class. With development on offense he could potentially be a first-round pick in the future.

“Keep an eye on Staton,” Prep Hoops boys basketball reviewer Bruce Williams said. “He’s a developing prospect with good size and length. He’s extremely raw, however, his time on aau/varsity should prove to be valuable experience.”

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