Chad Baker-Mazara - Headed to USC Baker-Mazara will transfer to USC, per Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.
Impact Baker-Mazara is coming off a career year at Auburn, where he averaged 12.3 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.2 steals with the Tigers. The experienced senior is also an excellent long-range shooter -- his 38.1 percent clip from downtown in 2024-2025 was actually a career low. Couple that with a 6-foot-7 frame, and the Dominican wing will be a problem in the Big Ten next season.
