Why did Saniyah Hall choose USC?

Saniyah Hall received offers from top programs, including the South Carolina Gamecocks, North Carolina Tar Heels, Ohio State Buckeyes and Michigan State Spartans.

The 6-foot-2 combo guard took official visits to North and South Carolina, but decided to commit to the Trojans after an unofficial visit on Nov. 6, last year.

She spoke about her decision on ESPN's NBA Today on Friday.

"It’s such a blessing to be in this position, but I think I truly found my home, and I’m ready to tell the world where I’m going," she said before revealing a Trojans shirt underneath her jacket. "I am headed to the University of Southern California. Go Trojans! Fight on."

Hall's commitment means that Gottlieb has now landed the No. 1 player in three of the last four seasons, with JuJu Watkins in 2023, Jazzy Davidson in 2025 and Saniyah Hall in 2026.

The Trojans were knocked out in the Elite 8 of last year's NCAA Tournament and will now hope for a deep run next season with the addition of Jazzy Davidson.

Hall still has another year of high school left before she starts he collegiate career.
