The Chatsworth High School player also made his commitment official to the USC Trojans after considering offers from UCLA, Arizona, Kentucky and Louisville, among others.

Alijah Arenas has played 80 games for Chatsworth High School and is averaging 31.6 points, 8.5 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.1 blocks per contest. This season, Arenas has played 18 games and averages 30.9 ppg, 7.5 rpg, 4.4 apg, 2.1 spg and 0.9 bpg.
