Mayo was a one and doner from the start, but why did Jefferson have to be such a tease? At first Davon says he's coming back, but then suddenly he's declared and likely already signed with an agent. Oh well, I guess that ship has sailed. Luckily USC still returns stellar core players and adds enough talent to once again be near the top of the Pac-10. Hackett and Lewis are quality wings, and Taj Gibson should be able to play at his natural position next season. Add in the #1 SG recruit in Derozan, a former 5 star in Washington, top cali Juco PG Donte Smith, and both Cunningham and Diarra coming back from injuries, USC has qualiy talent and depth. That's a first for Coach Tim Floyd's tenure. But the real question is, can the team put it together on offense?

Washington

Who Declared Early?: Nobody

Who do I think is Coming Back?: N/A
