When top women’s hoops prospect JuJu Watkins chose to remain home and commit to USC on Tuesday, there was no group of people who were happier than her future Trojan teammates.
Players on the USC women’s basketball team like forward Koi Love and guards Destiny Littleton and Bella Perkins were inside a gymnasium listening to Watkins’s commitment.
“There’s no place like home,” Watkins said inside a packed gymnasium at Sierra Canyon High School on Tuesday. “So, I will be spending my next four years at the University of Southern California.”
The exact moment after Watkins pronounced the word “California,” the team rejoiced with excitement.
