Twitter reaction to D.J. Rodman joining Bronny James and USC
This is getting very serious in a very good way. It’s true that when USC pulled in the nation’s No. 1 recruit, Isaiah Collier, the Trojans took a big leap in the national rankings and made themselves a team to watch heading into the 2023-2024 college basketball season. That was the moment when USC became a big player.
Then, however, other things started happening which took USC from the realm of a “really good team” to a different category. Bronny James arrived. Boogie Ellis stayed for one more year. The Trojans are now in “wow, this could be really special!” territory, having just added Washington State transfer forward D.J. Rodman in the portal.
It is dawning on USC fans and college basketball experts that USC is likely to be an elite team next season. Here’s how Twitter reacted to the D.J. Rodman portal addition:

Bronny James
DJ Rodman
Isaiah Collier – Top '23 Guard
Arrinten PageToo bad Shareef O'Neal and Scottie Pippen Jr. retired. Could have been a wild transfer portal season for SC.
Never forget what Enfield did with Florida Dunk Coast. https://t.co/mlrn0tpEhm

HUGE OFFSEASON
First off this doesn’t surprise me. Second off still not declaring them Pac-12 champs until they’ve actually played together. They certainly are Pac-12 off-season champs tho. https://t.co/4EhtxBzK0C

HIGH-QUALITY DEPTH
More talent flooding into this #USC men’s basketball team, more pieces to the puzzle. Rodman can play the 4, so I’m thinking this means Keshad Johnson is not coming.
This also likely means that one of Bronny James/DJ Rodman/Kobe Johnson will come off the bench for the Trojans. https://t.co/JYqTc74XHP

WSU transfer DJ Rodman has committed to #USC, per his insta page. Big get for the PAC-12 favorites. Brings shooting, rebounding, defense.
