The USC basketball program under the direction of head coach Kevin O'Neill has undergone several changes since the end of the 2009-10 season and the following is a brief recap of the activites.

USC signed transfers 6-6 forward Aaron Fuller (Iowa) and 7-0 center Dwayne Dedmon (Antelope Valley College), both who will sit out the 2010-11 season. In addition, forward Leonard Washington was dismissed from the team, center Davis Rozitis has decided to transfer and guard Percy Miller has left the team.

Also there have been several changes in the front office. O'Neill promoted longtime USC assistant Bob Cantu to associate head coach. In addition, strength and conditioning manager Tony Miller was promoted to assistant coach and Dieter Horton (Antelope Valley College) was hired as an assistant coach. The last move was the hiring of Shaun Brown as strength and conditioning manager. Brown most recently served in the same capacity at Virginia. He has 19 years of experience at the collegiate and professional levels (Virginia, Kentucky, Toronto Raptors, Boston Celtics) and has worked with the development of 19 players who were selected in the NBA draft.
