USC Men's Basketball Adds Transfer Guard Aaron Hunkin-Claytor: A Valuable Addition to the Trojans' Roster

USC men's basketball has been actively recruiting players from the college basketball transfer portal, and they recently added guard Aaron Hunkin-Claytor from Hawai'i. Hunkin-Claytor brings valuable experience from his time with the Rainbow Warriors, where he witnessed a Big West Conference championship run. Despite a season-ending injury, he is expected to be ready for the upcoming season and has shown improvement in his scoring and rebounding averages. With 46 total games and 28 starts under his belt, Hunkin-Claytor has demonstrated his skills on both ends of the court.

During his time at Hawai'i, Hunkin-Claytor contributed to the team's success, including a victory over UC Irvine to secure the Big West Tournament title. His performance against Arizona State, where he scored a season-high 18 points, caught the attention of USC and head coach Eric Musselman. Hunkin-Claytor, a native of Wahiawa, O'ahu, also has ties to California, having played for Salesian College Prep in Richmond during his high school years.

Joining USC as the fifth portal commit for Musselman, Hunkin-Claytor adds depth to a talented lineup that includes players like Eric Reibe from UConn and KJ Lewis from Georgetown. With his experience and skills, Hunkin-Claytor is poised to make a significant impact on the Trojans' roster. USC fans can look forward to seeing him in action and contributing to the team's success in the upcoming season.
