USC women's basketball adds Lithuania's Gerda Raulusaityte to roster
Raulusaityte comes to USC from Lithuania. She has competed professionally in the country, as well as for the Lithuanian national team.
'Gerda is an important and exciting addition to our team," head coach Lindsay Gottlieb said in a statement. 'A dynamic post player with a plethora of international experience, Gerda will bring size, versatility, toughness and skill to our front line. We are proud that she made the Lithuanian senior national team for EuroBasket, and we know that her unique experiences playing in Europe will add a new dimension to our team. Gerda has been a joy to get to know. I have no doubt that being a part of the Trojan Family will make her feel as if she has a home away from home. We can't wait to welcome Gerda to Los Angeles and our campus.'
USC is losing Kiki Iriafen and Rayah Marshall, its two starters in the post from last season. Raulusaityte will look to compete for immediate playing time this season in order to help the Trojans fill the void created by their departure.

USC Receives Underwhelming Big Ten Preseason Ranking
USC Receives Underwhelming Big Ten Preseason Ranking originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The 2024 season was a forgettable one for the USC Trojans and head coach Lincoln Riley, as they finished with a 7-6 record. That did finish with a win over the Texas A&M Aggies in the Las Vegas Bowl. However, it was still significantly below the program's expectations. Advertisement The famous college football analyst Phil Steele has dropped his Big Ten Power Rankings for On3, and the spot USC landed in was rather underwhelming. Steele slotted the Trojans in at No. 8, which is way lower than Riley and his team would want to finish. However, it does give them bulletin board material heading into the 2025 season, and I'm sure it won't be the last. USC coach Lincoln Riley© Gary A. Vasquez-Imagn Images In his preview of what could be for USC next season, Steele wrote, "Throughout his career, Riley has been known for recruiting and developing excellent quarterbacks. That's been no different at USC. The hope for the Trojans is that Jayden Maiava is going to be able to be that next great quarterback. If he does, then USC is expecting to have a much better season." Advertisement Riley's team was expected to land behind teams such as the Ohio State Buckeyes and Oregon Ducks. However, being behind the Nebraska Cornhuskers and the Illinois Fighting Illini will not go down well with the fan base. The six losses they had in 2024, five of which were one-point losses, meant that two or three games swung the other way, and the media may have a different opinion going into this season.

Nets sign 19th overall pick Nolan Traoré to rookie scale contract
French guard Nolan Traoré, the 19th overall pick in the 2025 NBA draft, signed his rookie-scale contract with the Brooklyn Nets on Friday, the team announced. Traoré was the Champions League Best Young Player after averaging 12.2 points, 4.7 assists and 1.9 rebounds in 44 appearances with Saint-Quentin in France. He registered seven 20-point games, including a 25-point effort on May 9. Advertisement He will make $3,811,560 next season, according to Spotrac. The 19-year-old put himself on the radar after a great offseason last year, representing France in the Nike Hoop Summit and FIBA U18 EuroBasket. He averaged 14 points, 9.3 assists and 3.6 rebounds on 42.9% shooting from 3-point range as France finished fifth in Finland. Traoré was highly touted entering the draft because of his potential to be an elite playmaker at the next level. He plays with excellent court vision, often flourishing by running offenses against high-level competition due to his instincts and passing ability. The 6-foot-4 standout is among a crowded draft class for the Nets, joining Egor Demin (eighth pick), Drake Powell (22nd pick), Ben Saraf (26th pick) and Danny Wolf (27th pick). With the exception of Powell, who is pending a trade with Atlanta, they have each signed their contracts. Advertisement Traoré will suit up with the Nets for at least five games in the NBA Summer League, beginning on July 10 against the Oklahoma City Thunder (5:30 p.m. EDT, ESPN2).
