Since he was 17, Tahj Eaddy has lived the life of a basketball nomad.
He was skinny as a rail then, barely pushing 6 feet, hardly 150 pounds. Too small to command much attention on the recruiting trail, no matter how many plays he made nightly for Notre Dame High in West Haven, Conn. “I was a late bloomer,” Eaddy, now 24, said.
It was another seven years before he would grow into the game-changing point guard he’s become at USC, where he and the 17th-ranked Trojans play Arizona on Saturday at Galen Center.
