Desiree Caldwell, the two-time USA Basketball U16/U17 point guard and four-time #CheckMeOutNATION participant, has verbally committed to USC and first-year coach Mark Trakh. The top 20 ranked player chose the Trojans over Cal.
Caldwell, whose sister and 2014 McDonald’s All-American Recee is a senior at Texas Tech, followed her sister’s footsteps in using the Check Me Out Showcase camps as way to hone her skills and compete outside the NCAA viewing periods. Recee attended the very first Check Me Out Showcase and set the bar for this current crop very high.
Desiree also competed in the 2nd Annual Elite is Earned Spring Invitational, a 72-team tournament during the April 2017 NCAA Certified viewing period, with her San Antonio’s Finest club team. She has proven at both individual and team events that she is up for the challenge against all comers.
