Overview

  • Londynn Jones, a standout guard and All-Big Ten honorable mention, announced her transfer to USC via Instagram on April 21, 2025.
  • Jones set a UCLA program record with 87 three-pointers in the 2023-24 season and added 72 more in 2024-25, maintaining her reputation as a top perimeter shooter.
  • Her departure is part of a broader exodus at UCLA, with six players leaving the program this offseason, including the entire freshman class and Janiah Barker, who committed to Tennessee.
  • UCLA finished the 2024-25 season with a 34-3 record, winning the Big Ten tournament and reaching the Final Four before losing to UConn, while USC reached the Elite Eight as a No. 1 seed.
  • Jones could potentially team up with USC star JuJu Watkins if Watkins returns from injury for the 2025-26 season, further intensifying the rivalry between the two LA programs.
