November 14, 2018 | Women's Basketball, Features
It’s a powerful class of talent to come for the USC women’s basketball program.
The USC women's basketball program has a wildly talented group of six signees lined up to come to Troy next year, head coach Mark Trakh announced today (Nov. 14). The power class is comprised of new Trojans hailing from four states — Alaska, California, Oregon and Texas. Coach Trakh and his staff are proud to welcome Madison Campbell (Fresno, Calif.), Angel Jackson (Richmond, Calif.), Alyson Miura (Clackamas, Ore.), Alissa Pili (Anchorage, Alaska), Endyia Rogers (Dallas, Texas) and Kyra White (San Antonio, Texas) after their signing of national letters of intent to join the Trojan Family.
"We are very excited about this 2019 class," USC head coach Mark Trakh said. "It is a very talented group with a great mixture of positions. We have height, strength and shooting. All these young women come from successful programs and are winners. And most importantly, they are excellent students. Three have a perfect 4.0 GPA and one has a chance to be her high school's Valedictorian. Fight On!"
All six of the newcomers also rank in the top-125 according to Prospectsnation. Meet your newest Women of Troy!

A Fresno, Calif., product, Madison Campbell prepped at Clovis West High School and comes to Troy ranked No. 124 overall and No. 33 at the guard position, according to Prospectsnation. With her high school squad, Campbell has seen great success, winning a national championship, a state championship, a SoCal championship and three league crowns. In her junior season, she averaged 20.5 points, 8.4 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 4.5 steals per game and picked up First Team honors at every level. Also named League and Valley Player of the Year, Campbell set school records with a 41-point game and with nine 3-pointers made in a single game. She's on pace to break the Clovis West all-time records for career points, 3-pointers made and in wins, as she has gone 96-10 to date in her time with the program.
"Madison is an exceptional player who has competed at the highest level in high school and club basketball," Trakh said of Campbell.
