After visiting Tennessee basketball just days ago, Dartmouth transfer Ryan Cornish has announced his decision.

While the Vols got their pitch in, Cornish picked USC out of the transfer portal. The shooting guard will team up with another shooting guard who picked the Trojans over Tennessee this cycle, Rodney Rice.

Cornish had a waiver approved by the NCAA to grant him this season of eligibility.
