USC head coach Eric Musselman continues to put in work via the transfer portal to build a roster ahead of his first season with the Trojans. On Sunday, Musselman and USC landed a commitment from former Northern Colorado forward Saint Thomas. This is Thomas’ second time through the portal as he began his college career at Loyola Chicago.

Thomas, a 6-foot-7 junior from Omaha, averaged 19.7 points, 9.8 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game last season on his way to being named to the All-Big Sky First Team.

He scored in double digits in all but three games last season and had a season-high 37 points in an overtime win against Montana. It’ll be fascinating to see how his game transitions to a better conference with USC in the Big Ten, but his percentages last season were outstanding. Thomas shot 47.2% from the floor, 33% from three-point range and 86.8% from the free-throw line.

This is the fifth commitment out of the transfer portal for Musselman.

Former UMass center Josh Cohen was the first, flipping from Arkansas to follow Musselman to USC. The Trojans have also landed commitments from former Penn point guard Clark Slajchert, former UCSD point guard Bryce Pope, and former Yale forward Matt Knowling.
