USC men's basketball season tips off Friday night at 8 p.m. at Galen Center.
Name - Eric Wise
Position - Small forward/power forward
Class - Redshirt Senior
Size - 6'6", 240 lbs.
Age - 22
High School - King HS (Riverside)
Game - Wise idolized Charles Barkley growing up, and while "Sir Charles" is a lofty comparison for any college player, he does have a similar build to the "round mound of rebound." Since coming to USC, he has completely remade his body from his Irvine days (pictured via OC Register) into a sculpted powerhouse. According to head coach Kevin O'Neill, Wise grades out as the most efficient jump shooter on the team particularly from mid-range distance. He is more comfortable at power forward, but will play some small forward as well this season.
Before USC - Wise is a proven entity in college basketball. He averaged 16.3 points per game and 8.1 rebounds per contest in his final season with the Anteaters. His rebounding average was the most by a UCI player in two decades. He averaged 16.3 and 14.0 points per game as a sophomore and freshman, respectively, so he was productive all three years. He actually played against the Trojans twice as an Anteater.
