USC’s long forward with a smooth touch and post presence
Deanna Calhoun is a 6-foot-3 USC forward whose value comes from her interior size, soft shooting touch, and physical post play; USC’s roster notes call her “a strong post with a smooth shot.” In the 2025-26 season context available, she is a veteran redshirt junior who has battled a knee injury earlier in her career, so durability and rhythm matter as much as raw talent. She’s the kind of low-drama, high-bonus frontcourt piece who can give a team length, rebounding, and rim activity without needing the offense built around her.
