After a short stint of academic ineligibility early on, Pruitt came back with a vengeance becoming the team’s third-leading scorer with 12.5 point average per game. But it was his defensive prowess that stood out above the rest. Despite sitting out 11 games due to ineligibility, Pruitt topped the Trojans in steals propelling himself to sixth in the Trojans’ all time steal-leaders, and leading the Trojans to the NCAA regional semi-finals.
