Alijah Arenas, an incoming freshman at USC, will join the basketball team for practice after surviving a car wreck and graduating high school early. Coach Eric Musselman believes Arenas will be a significant addition and has observed him learning the team's offense thoroughly. He has shown a proactive approach by diagramming plays and engaging with staff during practice. Arenas was hospitalized for six days after his Tesla accident but has no lasting injuries, allowing him to participate in summer practice.
Musselman said, 'I think he knows the offense, on paper, maybe better than anyone on our team. He's got an innate ability to kind of see things in a different manner.'
After finishing his high school classwork so he could graduate a year early, Arenas underwent final medical testing at USC this week.
