Ex-Oregon State star guard Talia von Oelhoffen commits to USC - ESPN

The rich just got richer.

Two-time all-Pac-12 guard Talia von Oelhoffen, a graduate transfer from Oregon State, has committed to the USC Trojans, she told ESPN Monday.

Her move helps solidify USC's status as a national title contender in 2025, with the Trojans also adding former Stanford post Kiki Iriafen out of the portal, returning superstar JuJu Watkins and senior Rayah Marshall and bringing in the nation's top-ranked freshmen class.

«It's so exciting,» von Oelhoffen told ESPN. «I mean, the sky's the limit for how good we can be… I'm super excited to take this team into the Big Ten and beyond.»

The 5-foot-11 guard from Washington averaged 10.7 points, 5.0 assists, 4.1 rebounds and 1.0 steals per game this season as a key playmaker that guided the Beavers to their first NCAA tournament appearance since 2021 and third Elite Eight since 2016. No. 3 seed Oregon State beat No. 2 seed Notre Dame in the Sweet 16 before falling to eventual national champion South Carolina by 12 in the following contest.

Oregon State, which is becoming an affiliate member of the WCC in women's basketball upon the disintegration of the Pac-12, has eight players in the transfer portal.

Von Oelhoffen also considered Colorado, Kentucky and Louisville and took visits to all four schools before choosing USC for her graduate transfer season. After enrolling early amid the 2020-21 campaign, she has a fifth year of eligibility from the waiver the NCAA granted to student athletes amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Von Oelhoffen posted a TikTok video last Friday featuring her and Iriafen in USC uniforms on their visit; the two committed together before leaving campus, von Oelhoffen said.
