Sports Again

Let's jump ship to NCAA basketball. Durant and Oden were magnificent. After that you had the boys from Florida, a few randoms and some overseas talent. Look at it now. I will go ahead and call it, this is the deepest collegiate talent ever. Granted thanks to the mandatory one year in college. The kids in college are had and shoulders above freshmen of the past, even before players were leaving early. I will be the first to admit I didn't want to like O.J. Mayo. He plans to stay in school for only a year. He comes to Southern Cal just to boost his notoriety. He comes to a school with a lack of basketball history so he can stand out. He just had so much hype I didn't think he could live up to it. He hasn't come close to it. He is way beyond it. Does anyone else realize he is playing at 50%. I see Eric Gordon, Beasley, or whatever his name at Memphis and they are great. There skill level is not on that of O.J. I see why now why he is touted so highly. He started off against some measly teams and played second fiddle to his teammates. He lets them shine, but when the game is on the line he is the best in the game. He is a pure shooter, with amazing handles and he is strong enough to go to the hole whenever he want. Sounds great doesn't it. That's not all. He is as quick as any guard, strong as most forwards and can jump out of the gym if he has to. All in all he is the best package of a player I have see on the college level in a long time. Keep in mind a freshman folks. It just looks too easy. He is the kind of player that come tourney time he says jump on and I will take us to the promise land,but he doesn't have to. USC is loaded with talent that is coming around sooner than expected. He defers, then defers again. It is amazing with what he built for himself to live up to he doesn't press. He is truly a special talent. I will go out a limb I guess and tell you this. He is gone after one year, he will lead his team to a PAC 10 title, and a Final Four. Sounds like big hype doesn't it. He hasn't touched the hype he had coming in he exceeded it, so why can't he exceed my hype. Do something special O.J. I am a fan.
