USC Mens Basketball Secures Key Transfer: Aaron Hunkin-Claytor Joins Trojans
USC mens basketball head coach Eric Musselman announced the signing of six-foot-three guard Aaron Hunkin-Claytor from the University of Hawaii. Hunkin-Claytor, a pass-first point guard, will bolster the Trojans backcourt.
During his time at Hawaii, Hunkin-Claytor demonstrated his potential, averaging six points, 2.8 rebounds, and a team-high 3.8 assists per game as a sophomore before an injury cut his season short. He also showcased his scoring ability, dropping a career-high 18 points against Arizona State and dishing out 11 assists versus Mississippi Valley State.
As a freshman, Hunkin-Claytor led Hawaii in assists (72) and steals (21), while averaging 3.8 points on 40% shooting. He scored in double figures three times, topping out at 11 against UC Riverside.
Coach Musselman praised Hunkin-Claytors energy, team spirit, and defensive prowess, describing him as a perfect fit for the Trojan family. With this addition, USC has strengthened its roster, joining Hunkin-Claytor with Eric Reibe and Joshua Hughes. The team also features returners like Rodney Rice, Jacob Cofie, and Alijah Arenas, along with freshmen Adonis Ratliff, Darius Ratliff, and Christian Collins.
These moves position USC for a promising season, with increased depth and playmaking capabilities.
