Pac-12 Network analyst Steve Lavin said USC could be a preseason top 10 basketball team next season with reserve forward Strahinja Gavrilovic the only senior on this year’s roster.
But that assumes every underclassman returns. Junior guard Julian Jacobs and junior forward Nikola Jovanovic said they will decide their futures after the season.
“As of now, I’m enjoying USC basketball,” Jacobs said. “I really want to finish strong and cross that bridge when I get there.”
Jovanovic said he would like to return to USC but admitted leaving is an option.
“I’m thinking about it,” he said.
