LOS ANGELES — JuJu Watkins is poised to step in as the next big star of women's college basketball. The Southern California freshman guard is the nation's second-leading scorer at 26.8 points per game, just behind Iowa's Caitlin Clark with 30.5. Watkins broke Lisa Leslie's school record for most 30-point games by a freshman with five. She's led the Trojans to a No. 6 ranking and a 10-0 start. Watkins was already a prep sensation when she chose USC as the nation's top recruit in the class of 2023. Her outstanding play is attracting celebrities and men, women and children of all ages and races who want a moment with her after games.
