Rodney Rice recently announced a top six in the new transfer portal era. Rice had previously taken in-person visits to both Villanova and Tennesee, but it appears the sharpshooter has another school in mind. While USC was in Rice's top six, he only completed a Zoom call with the Trojans.
But now he's headed West to check out USC, according to CBS Sports' Jon Rothstein.
Maryland transfer Rodney Rice will visit USC this week, per his father.

Recently visited both Villanova and Tennessee.
The Clinton (MD) product is a hot commodity in the transfer portal. Rice can play defense and proved to be a sharpshooter from mid-to-long range. Any team looking to add a shooter to their roster will be calling Rice.
Rice averaged 13.8 points for Maryland and shot over 37% from 3. Maryland was in Rice's top six, but it appears a return to College Park is a longshot right now. If Williams could keep Rice, that would be a mega return for Maryland hoops.
