Thanks to Chris McGuire again for these photos. We would like to recognize the Pac-10 player of the week, Taj Gibson, but O.J. Mayo gets all the spread in this edition because he is more photogenic. And so are the Song Girls…

<!–start image–><!– end image–>March 5, 2008 may very well go down as the exact date that Lauderhill (Fla.) Plantation Athlete, Brandon McGee, officially blew-up on the national recruiting scene. With scholarship offers from both the University of Southern California and Ohio State University, McGee now has the opportunity to play football for almost any elite…

Later today or tomorrow I’ll post my final Pac-10 ratings and a look at the league’s prospects for the NCAAs (hint: things couldn’t have worked out better for getting seven bids.) But I had to switch things up to address what could become a serious problem for the conference,… Continue reading…

Jeff Miller, Orange County Register He doesn’t cast a shadow as much as he casts an eclipse. Martin Coleman is 6-foot-5, 320 pounds, with only one player on USC’s football roster listed as larger. Yet, even at his size, he sighs. Coleman knows what’s coming the moment any of his teammates meet his girl, Ta’ahine.…

I was curious to read that Jake Locker plans to spend part of his summer playing baseball for the Bellingham Bells of the West Coast Collegiate Baseball League. According to Bob Condotta, the GM for …

From LATimes.com: What’s your relationship like with Mitch? It think it’s similar to the way John David and I were at the beginning when I first came in. We’re cordial. We don’t go out of our way to hang out around campus or anything like that but if he ever needed a ride or I…

From LATimes.com: "He’s got an upside because he’s so athletic," the executive said. "But I just don’t know where he contributes in the NBA game besides catching a lob once in a while and running the floor. He’s like a mini-Shawn Marion without the toughness. I think he needs to stay" in college. As I…

The only thing more consistent than O.J. Mayo’s outstanding play lately has been his answer to the question of what he wants to accomplish this season. Winning a national championship. Ambitious and possibly audacious, yes, but his goal is no longer unrealistic.

When asked what he would have said if somebody told him before the game that USC would out-rebound Stanford by 16, junior forward Keith Wilkinson couldn’t hide the disbelief in his voice. “You’ve got to be kidding me,” Wilkinson said. Sophomore forward Taj Gibson replied in a similar manner, saying he “wouldn’t have imagined” out-rebounding…

Awesome moment from yesterday’s game. Definitely one of the highlight plays of the year. O.J.’s ridiculous reverse lay-up was the #3 play on Sportcenter’s Top 10. H/T to AllThingsTrojan for the video link.

As you might know, hip-hop whiz kid Lil’ Romeo will be attending the University of Southern California next year on a basketball scholarship. This despite his, you know, not being very good at all. The Wall Street Journal takes a look at the oddity of Lil Romeo’s “recruitment,”, and it tells you pretty much all…

It’s not quite on the level of Georgetown-Villanova or Tennessee-Rutgers, but there was a pretty horrendous call last night at the end of regulation in UCLA-Stanford. Down two, UCLA’s sub-6-foot guard Darren Collison drove baseline and was met by Stanford’s 6-foot-8 Lawrence Hill. (more…)
