  • Katin Reinhardt is headed to USC.

    Again.

    After initially committing to USC on New Year’s Eve 2010, Reinhardt changed his mind and decommitted in May 2011.

    He ultimately landed at UNLV, but is now on the move again and headed to play for “Dunk City” coach Andy Enfield at USC.

    “I have chosen where I am going to school,” he Tweeted.

    The 6-foot-5, 210-pound Reinhardt told Scout.com he visited the campus Wednesday and hopes to play the point as well as the two at his next stop. He will have to sit out a season per NCAA transfer regulations.

    The addition of former Baylor commit Dominic Woodson to Memphis’ 2013 recruiting class bolsters an already strong group for coach Josh Pastner.

    Memphis now has five of the Top 100 players in the ESPN.com rankings for the Class of 2013 as it heads into the new American Athletic Conference (see list below).

    Memphis adds No. 15 Austin Nichols, No. 33 Kuran Iverson, No. 37 Nick King, No 90 Woodson, No. 95 Rashawn “Pookie” Powell, as well as shooting guard Markel Crawford and 6-8 George Washington transfer David Pellom.

    A year after reaching the ESPN NHSI championship game, St. Benedict’s Prep is reloading with a group of foreign players.

    The Gray Bees lose Tyler Ennis (Syracuse), Mike Young (Pittsburgh) and Denzell Taylor (Old Dominion) from their core, but return the backcourt tandem of Isaiah Briscoe (2015) and Jonathan Williams (2014).

    Coach Mark Taylor’s club also brings back guard Damon Wilson (2015).

    St. Ben’s — which does not compete in the New Jersey State Athletic Association — will also have four Puerto Rican players in 6-6 2016 forward Nick Washington, who played on the team last year, as well as 5-11 guards Josh Colon and Edwin Cancel, both 2016, and 6-9 forward Arnaldo Toro (2016).

    Former Pittsburgh forward J.J. Moore has committed to Rutgers upon his visit there Thursday.

    “J.J. committed to Rutgers,” New York Panthers coach Gary Charles told SNY.tv.

    “[Assistant coach] Van Macon was extremely critical in J.J. deciding to go to Rutgers. His ability to address the family concerns and make J.J. feel important tipped the scale in Rutgers’ favor.”

    Charles said Moore will apply for a hardship waiver in order to play next season because his grandfather is ill.

    “Yes, he will try to get a waiver,” Charles said.
