Former Robert Morris G Kam Woods Signs With Big-10 Program as Midseason Enrollee

After Robert Morris fell to Alabama in the opening round of last year’s NCAA Tournament, Andy Toole faced the harsh reality of the transfer portal era of college basketball when essentially every one of his scholarship players, including his entire starting five opted to find a new schools to play for.

Four of the five starters signed with new programs as the offseason progressed forward, except for one.

Despite receiving interest from a long list of power-conference programs after averaging 14.9 points, 5.2 assists and 4.7 rebounds in his lone season as a Colonial, Kam Woods also faced the harsh reality of the transfer portal as never signed with any school and watched the first few weeks of the season from his house in Alabama.

That all changed on Thursday as Woods officially signed with USC as a midseason addition after the Trojans suffered multiple season-ending injuries to start the season, including Woods’ former Robert Morris teammate Amarion Dickerson.

When Woods entered the portal following Robert Morris’ Horizon League Championship season, he heard from a long list of potential suitors including multiple power-four programs.

The list of programs initially included Pittsburgh, Duquesne, San Diego State, Wichita State, Texas A&M, VCU, George Mason, UAB, Cincinnati, Kent State, Loyola Chicago, Charlotte and Ole Miss.

It seemed like Woods was destined to end up at USC alongside Dickerson as he completed a virtual visit with Trojans’ head coach Eric Musselman and the rest of the staff back in early May but nothing ever came to fruition for Woods.

While Woods joins a Trojans’ team that is 11-1, he should find himself some playing time at some point down the road after USC lost both Dickerson and leading scorer Rodney Rice to injuries this year. If Woods finds himself playing point for the Trojans, he will have big shoes to fill as Rice was averaging 20.3 points and 6.0 assists per game to start the 2025-26 season.

Regardless, Woods bet on himself going into the offseason, knowing he only had one year of eligibility remaining, and in the end hit big as he joins what looks like a tournament team that will likely lean on his veteran presence once he becomes acclimated to the team.
