Thanks for the shout out! My best guess would be A’ja Wilson (WBB) and either Devon Downey or Sin Thornwell (MBB). Sounds like four additional ones total, so will be fun to see who else it will be. Great find!
If A'ja doesn't get in the moment she's eligible, I am calling the police. But if I'm doing the math right (and I am by no means certain that I am) I don't think she would have been eligible at the time the committee voted on the current group.
Since someone asked via email, these are the USC jersey retirements prior to 2019:
FOOTBALL
#2 Sterling Sharpe (1983, 85-87)
#37 Steve Wadiak (1948-51)
#38 George Rogers (1977-80)
#56 Mike Johnson (1964)
MEN’S BASKETBALL
#3 B.J. McKie (1996-99)
#11 John Roche (1968-71)
#22 Alex English (1972-76)
#42 Grady Wallace (1955-57)
#43 Kevin Joyce (1970-71)
WOMEN’S BASKETBALL
#13 Martha Parker (1985-89)
#14 Shannon Johnson (1992-96)
#53 Sheila Foster (1978-82)
BASEBALL
#1 Ray Tanner (1997-2012)
Would love to see Melvin Ingram
Me too. I imagine he'll have to wait a few years until they get Lattimore and Shaw through the system.

Who knows USC is weird. I got my ten years of service pin after 11 years.
That could be. I think they would recognize her during basketball season, which at this point, would be the 2023-24 academic year.
That's true. I had not considered the possibility that they might post-date a retired jersey.
