USC may have lost Andy Enfield to Southern Methodist University (SMU), but it is hiring a more than suitable replacement.

USC is hiring Eric Musselman to be its new head coach. Musselman had served as Arkansas’ head coach for the last five seasons.

Musselman had interviewed with USC on Wednesday, and it appears the sides quickly came to a deal.

Musselman had a largely successful tenure at Arkansas. He took the program to consecutive Elite Eights and won over 20 games four out of his five seasons in Fayetteville. He helped the Razorbacks return to similar levels of success they had under the likes of Eddie Sutton and Nolan Richardson.

The Trojans are hoping that the 59-year-old Musselman will be able to continue the success Enfield had, and perhaps exceed those levels.
