Alijah Arenas' scouting report after USC commitment

Alijah Arenas reclassified from the Class of 2026 to 2025 and was still named as a top ten recruit by 247Sports. The 6-foot-5 shooting guard had 22 offers from top programs, including Arizona, UCLA, Louisville and more.

However, after unofficial visits to USC, Arizona and UCLA, Arenas committed to Eric Musselman's side. 247Sports' insider Adam Finkelstein talked about Arenas in his scouting report:

"He's a bit of a late-bloomer who has continued to grow throughout his high school career and now stands at nearly 6-foot-6 with a massive 7-foot wingspan and 8-foot-9 standing reach. He also has elite, almost glue-like hands."

Arenas will be accompanied by Jerry Easter and Elzie Harrington at Musselman's side next season.
