LOS ANGELES — USC women’s basketball has a versatile addition coming to town, as the Trojans welcome Taylor Bigby as a transfer, head coach Lindsay Gottlieb has announced. A 6-1 guard, Bigby spent one season at Oregon and will join the Trojans for the coming 2022-23 season.
“Taylor will be an integral part of our present and future at USC,” Gottlieb said of Bigby. “She is a winner who elevates those around her. At 6-1, she has a truly unique skill set as a ball handler and playmaker. She can score as well as get others involved, and she’s truly disruptive at the defensive end. USC fans will love all that she brings, and I cannot wait to coach her and help her reach all of her potential.”
