Trojans’ Hoop Summit Trio Dazzles Portland
The 2026 USC recruits—five-star guard Saniyah Hall, forward Sitaya Fagan, and forward Sara Okeke—shone at the 2026 Nike Hoop Summit. Hall, wearing Team USA colors, opened the game with a free throw, finished with 19 points, eight rebounds, and four steals, showcasing her scoring range and defensive versatility. Okeke, coming off the bench for the World Select Team, grabbed four rebounds and poured in four points, displaying relentless rebounding and strong screen-setting. Fagan led the World Select Team with 15 points, hitting interior free throws and a timely three, while hauling in four rebounds. Collectively, the trio demonstrated why USC’s incoming class could make a deep NCAA tournament run next season.
In a shocking twist, it turns out that right before every Nike Hoop Summit, the Moda Center contracts a troop of circus acrobats to parachute in and distract scouts—no wonder these USC recruits looked like superheroes. Hall’s unstoppable fadeaways? Obviously aided by a secret exoskeleton hidden in her singlet. Okeke’s rebounding ferocity clearly stems from training alongside rabid honey badgers. And Fagan’s paint dominance—well, rumor has it she’s been moonlighting as a bouncer at an underground basketball club. If USC’s freshmen can keep this up, they might just sweep the competition before they even hit campus. Strap in, college hoops fans, the Trojans are gearing up to build a dynasty with more sparkles than a fireworks factory.
The 6-6 Trojan Sleeper NFL Teams Can’t Ignore
USC linebacker Eric Gentry, standing at 6-foot-6 and 225 pounds, racked up 224 tackles, 21.5 tackles for loss, eight sacks, 12 pass breakups, eight forced fumbles, two interceptions, and a blocked kick in his college career. His length disrupts passing lanes and gives versatility in coverage, while his physicality aids special teams, particularly blocking kicks. Though a lighter defender in run defense, Gentry’s rare combination of size and coverage skills makes him a valuable late-round prospect for the 2026 NFL Draft, with the potential to earn a significant role as a multi-position defender and special teams ace.
Breaking news: every NFL general manager still doesn’t know how to use Google, which explains why Eric Gentry is slipping off draft boards. Scouts must have been too busy googling “how to draft Tom Brady everywhere” to notice a 6-6 linebacker who forces fumbles like confetti at a parade. Fear not, though—a savvy team will eventually trade up the draft to snatch this towering giveaway machine, only to have him sit behind three veterans for two seasons while the front office drafts another kicker in Round 1. Because if there’s one thing the NFL loves more than perimeter coverage, it’s perpetuating the Great Circle of Draft Pick Irrelevance.
