A quick recap of DJ Rodman’s college basketball career so far

DJ started college basketball with the Washington State Cougars, and the stats have not been on his side from the very start. In his first season with the Cougars, he averaged just 1.7 points, 1.9 rebounds, and 0.3 assists. The only positive side to his game was his decent free throw percentage at 60.0.

Subsequently, he played three more seasons for Washington State and averaged 5.5 points, and 4.0 rebounds per game in his total 4 seasons for the college. Although not so stark, there was an improvement in his final season with the team where he averaged 9.6 points, and 5.8 rebounds for the team.

After his fourth season with the Cougars, DJ Rodman entered the transfer portal and joined the University of Southern California. He joined the USC Trojans in 2023, but the last season wasn’t as good for both DJ and the team. Notably, the Trojans failed to qualify for the March Madness and also had a terrible Pac-12 tournament run. But since this was DJ’s first year with the team and now that he is sorted on the academic front, it is to be seen what the next season brings.
