After LeBron James' son Bronny announced his commitment to USC over the weekend, the school will reportedly land another recruit with a Hall of Fame lineage.

According to USC reporter Scott Wolf, former Washington State forward DJ Rodman plans to transfer to the Trojans. He's the sun of Basketball Hall of Famer Dennis Rodman.

Rodman has spent the last four years with the Cougars and appeared in a total of 111 games. As a senior this past season, he appeared in 31 games with 30 starts and averaged 9.6 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game while shooting 38.1 percent from three-point range.

As a high school prospect in the class of 2019, Rodman was unranked by 247Sports' composite. Per On3.com's Joe Tipton, he chose Washington State over offers from schools like Sacramento State and UC Riverside.

In addition to Bronny James, Rodman will be joining a 2023 recruiting class that also includes 5-star point guard Isaiah Collier, who is ranked as the No. 1 overall player in the nation by 247Sports' composite. The incoming class is rounded out by 4-star center Arrinten Page, who was Collier's teammate at Wheeler High School in Marietta, Georgia.

USC finished second in the Pac-12 last season with an overall record of 22-11 and a conference record of 14-6. The Trojans were bounced from the NCAA tournament in the first round with a 10-point loss to Michigan State.

The upcoming season appears to be promising for USC, as in addition to the strong recruiting class, it was reported last month that senior guard Boogie Ellis will use his fifth year of eligibility to return to the program. He led the team with 17.7 points per game last season and will provide a veteran presence for the incoming group of youngsters.
