Guard Malik Marquetti announced he would transfer yesterday, joining Malik Martin, Darion Clark, Katin Reinhardt and Julian Jacobs, if Jacobs decides to hire an agent after saying he would enter the NBA draft.
Marquetti did not play much so it made sense even with Reinhardt leaving because he figured to be squeezed out again with Jonah Matthews, De’Anthony Melton and Shaqquan Aaron joining the guard position.
But USC is now in a bit of a crossroads. If Jacobs leaves it is trouble with no other real point guards. If he stays, the team still has some experience issues and questionable front-court depth. And a lot of expectations seem to be placed on Aaron, who averaged 1.3 points per game at Louisville.
The one and done leaky bb ship.
Reminds me of UCLA football. Where a Sun Bowl gets the coach a contract extension.

I think pounding SoCal badly his first three outings also may have helped earn that extension.
From recruits and teams he inherited from the Weasel.
No Silver Spoon prince and princess attend Bozo u. LOL.
He inherited a team that lost 50-0 to USC and it could have been 100-0.
Having the QB that he had certainly did not hurt his situation much…but, yes, proof of the pudding will probably be known before too long.
What a clod. All FB teams require a good QB, with the exception Bozo u and the Az Cardinals.
I love pudding, especially vanilla.
The same Sun Bowl venue in which the mighty SUCCessful “Unfinished Business” bozo u FB team lost to a sub .500 Georgia Tech team 21 – 7.
And of course there wasn’t a pre-game fight, and Kiffy didn’t sustain a well deserved black eye.
Never envious, but always glad to see the Bozo u’s suffer FB humiliation.
Yes, and we fired the coach. Again, UCLA expectations for football are right in line with USC’s in basketball very low. Thanks for giving a fine example to clarify my point. The only difference is our fans don’t sit on UCLA basketball boards making donkeys of ourselves.

Bozo u didn’t fire Kiffy. They waited to next season after multiple humiliating bozo u losses, then Kiffy got the airport axe.
Then to make FB matters better, St. Pat searched high and low in every bar in Seattle to hire Sark as the NEW bozo u HFBC.
U-dub continues uncontrollably to LOL.Talk about bozo u expectations. Fireball on.

Yes, you “fired the coach” and then hired Sark, you dill weed.
Shaqquan Aaron has great length but he’s a one handed dribbler who can’t go left, he isn’t athletic or explosive, he’s physically very weak at this point, and he can’t make a contested jumper. He is a project, not someone who the team can build itself around, and def not a starting PG.
More good “Inside USC” information. Why does the blogger fail to provide details and depth that many of the posters do?
No biggie, because Andy Enfield can start over, and he can getaway with 18 to 20 wins next season.
The team was only 10 – 11 in conference, and both tourneys.
They accomplished nothing special that Florida Gulf Coast didn’t do. Win 18 games if playing same horrible ooc schedule like last season. Enfield is a mediocre coach who blows more games at the end than he pulls out.
You got to give him credit. He’s a clever man who has figured out a way to become a millionaire based on flash and little substance.
Lionel Marquetti (’79)…was officially known as ‘Spider Man’. I loved watching him play that one season. I Haven’t seen much of Malik, but the little I did, contained some flashes of brilliance. My preference would be for him to stay.
Malik don’t like it.
Obvious there is something going down with all the players leaving not because they are draft-able except maybe Jacobs.. You don’t see that happening at Gonzaga or a Villanova when team has a chance to shine the following season. Aaron couldn’t produce at Louisville, and he is no Magic Johnson at 6’7 point guard.
Interesting how the blogger finds anything negative about USC and just drills down on it. Occasionally he might mention a positive thing but that will be the last you hear of it. When anything good is happening he is just not interested. But if he finds anything that is negative he will fixate on it and work it even sometimes years later. This has nothing to do with journalism it has to do with needing therapy.
