4-Star Transfer Decommits Just Three Days After Big Announcement
4-Star Transfer Decommits Just Three Days After Big Announcement originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Eric Musselman has been the head men's basketball coach at USC for just over a year, and he's already dealt with his fair share of challenges. Not everything is sunshine and roses in Southern California. Advertisement The 60-year-old coach, who previously led Nevada and Arkansas, went just 17-18 in his first season with the Trojans. It marked his second straight year missing the NCAA Tournament. As Musselman and his staff work to reshape the roster for year two in the Big Ten, they were hit with disappointing news on Monday. According to Joe Tipton of On3 Sports, "High Point transfer guard Kezza Giffa has decommitted from USC, he told @On3sports. This is a tough blow for USC. Giffa, a senior, was expected to bring much-needed scoring to the Trojans after averaging 14.6 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game last season at High Point. He earned First Team All-Big South honors for the second year in a row. Advertisement The 6-foot-2 guard from France only just committed to USC on May 29. A four-star transfer, Giffa has not yet revealed where he plans to go next. USC Trojans Head Coach Eric Musselman© Kirby Lee-Imagn Images Giffa originally committed to the Trojans on May 29. The four-star transfer has yet to give an indication on what his next step will be. Despite the loss, Musselman still had a solid offseason in the portal. Five-star recruit Alijah Arenas is set to join the program, along with four-star guard Jerry Easter. The Trojans' first two transfer commitments were forward Jacob Cofie from Virginia and guard Amarion Dickerson from Robert Morris. Since then, the coaching staff added Sanford's Jaden Brownell, Youngstown State's Gabe Dynes, Utah's Eza Ausar, Maryland's Rodney Rice, Auburn's Chad Baker-Mazara and UNC-Asheville's Jordan Marsh.

ACC quarterback headed to HBCU program
Former ACC quarterback Jack Brandon is headed to the HBCU ranks. The 6-foot-3, 209-pound passer spent the last four seasons at Boston College. He has now committed to Tennessee State University as the Tigers begin a new era under head coach Reggie Barlow. Brandon brings Power Five experience to an HBCU program fresh off a 9-4 season and a share of the OVC/Big South championship. Brandon never saw game action during his ACC career. Still, he showed promise at Cheshire Academy, where he threw for over 3,000 yards and 36 touchdowns. He also played basketball and baseball, showing his all-around athleticism. His move from the ACC to an HBCU highlights the talent shift happening across college football. Tennessee State is undergoing big changes. Former head coach Eddie George led the Tigers to the FCS playoffs before leaving for Bowling Green. Reggie Barlow now takes over after a strong run with Alabama State and the XFL's DC Defenders. Brandon gives the staff a quarterback with size, arm talent, and leadership. The addition of an ACC quarterback helps boost Tennessee State's HBCU resurgence. It also signals that HBCU football is attracting talent from top conferences. Brandon's presence could help stabilize the offense during the coaching transition. Tennessee State has an unknown outlook heading into 2025. As the team adjusts to a new system, Brandon will have the chance to lead the way. His move from the ACC to an HBCU is one many players are making these days, including a player for Tennessee State's first opponent. Fans and scouts will watch closely to see how he performs. Brandon's development could be key to another strong run in the OVC/Big South. The post ACC quarterback headed to HBCU program appeared first on HBCU Gameday. Copyright HBCU Gameday 2012-2025

LSU Baseball adds experienced infielder from High Point to 2026 roster
LSU is in the thick of a postseason run, but that didn't stop Jay Johnson from going to work in the transfer portal. Multiple sources confirmed that LSU baseball added Brayden Simpson to its 2026 roster. The infielder from High Point batted .389 with a .477 on-base percentage, 77 RBI, and 22 home runs. Simpson started every game in 2025, primarily at third base for the Panthers, who finished 39-19 overall and made it to the Big South Conference tournament championship. Advertisement Simpson earned All-Big South first-team honors and finished at No. 10 on D1 Baseball's Top 50 Third Basemen list. He hit two home runs in a quarterfinal walk-off win over Charleston Southern during the 2025 conference tournament. With Michael Braswell departing, the Tigers are in need of an every day starter at the hot corner who can also produce at the plate. They'll lose multiple sluggers following the 2025 season, including Jared Jones. Simpson fills each of those needs as he heads into his senior year.
