USC’s Daniel Hacket Talks with Luke Winn

If you’re a fan of Pac-10 basketball you probably have heard of Daniel Hacket, a combo guard on the USC Trojans basketball team. He sat down with Sports Illustrated.com’s Luke Winn, one of the Final Four Blog’s favorite sports writers, recently. You can see his interview here. If you’re following the action this summer in the hoops world, you probably are well aware of a few of the major moves going on around USC. One in particular came up a couple of months ago. Brandon Jennings, who had thought about going to USC, along with another Pac-10 school, Arizona, decided to go to Italy to play professionally. You might not know that Hacket’s father played professional basketball in Italy, and that Hacket lived in Italy for a while when he was younger.

Winn makes sure to ask Hacket about the move to play in Italy, which might have been an opportunity for Hacket. However, it appears that Daniel wanted to play in the US college basketball system so bad that he sped up his high school schedule and finished a year early. Very different situations, obviously. In fact, Daniel Hacket and Brandon Jennings seem like polar opposites.
