Emergency Heard It Podcast: Bronny James commits to USC

In this EMERGENCY edition of the Heard It on the Sidelines Podcast, part of the Peristyle Podcast family, Shotgun Spratling and USCfootball.com basketball intern Adam Jasper link up remotely to talk about the breaking news that Chatsworth (Calif.) Sierra Canyon five-star combo guard Bronny James, the son of Lakers' star LeBron James, has committed to USC basketball.

The guys give their instant reaction to hearing about Bronny's commitment to join Andy Enfield's squad and discuss the star power that will be on campus next year with the Heisman Trophy winner Caleb Williams, the No. 1 high school boys basketball player in Isaiah Collier, the No. 1 high school girls basketball player in JuJu Watkins and then the most high-profile high school kid in the nation in James all being on campus together.

Then they break down what impact James joining the Trojans will have on the team, the expectations, the crowd atmosphere and the aura of the program. Shotgun and Adam also break down Bronny's game and how he fits into a USC roster adding point guard Isaiah Collier and bringing back Boogie Ellis but losing Drew Peterson, Reese Dixon-Waters and Tre White.

To close out the emergency podcast, the guys look at whether USC basketball should be the favorites to win their first Pac-12 regular-season title in nearly 40 years and what kind of NCAA tournament run should be expected from Enfield, Collier, Ellis, James and the rest of the Trojans.
