Notes
Aug. 23, 2015:Valerie Higgins has given a verbal commitment to Southern California. An invaluable piece to any team, Higgins' ability to pass, score and rebound make her among the elite small forwards in the nation. Higgins had narrowed her list to Oregon, Oregon State, Louisville and California before choosing USC. %u201CThe feeling I had when visiting the campus and the mystique of Cynthia Cooper and the possibilities that abound made me choose Southern California over the other great universities that gave me an opportunity. I am grateful to each and look forward to my time at USC," Higgins said. Cynthia Cooper-Dyke and her staff have also gained commitments from Minyon Moore and Aisah Jones in the 2016 class.
