After last week's statement by Arizona coach Lute Olson that his program would no longer be pursuing one and done players, it seems as if USC is the haven for these quick stop college players. Future Trojan Demar DeRozan finally got the qualifying ACT score to enroll at USC, which all but ensures   more...

Tiny (okay, he's 6 feet tall) rap phenom Lil' Romeo is headed to USC on a scholarship to play hoops, proving yet again that it is possible for an underprivileged rap star to make it in the college basketball game.

As we all know, Alex Stepheson asked to transfer after the spring semester, stating that it was because of his father's health. While some think it is because of playing time, I'm going to believe the young man and say that he did it for family reasons. From what I have read around the Internet it   more...

Watch the Ref @ 38 seconds, He's not a fan of Mayo's.(the ref takes a flop)

Romeo looks like a nice little high school player, but that's just the problem. He's a small guard, plus, who is he playing against and how good is he really? I don't know if this is just a publicity stunt to get more hype surrounding USC ball, but you would think they've had enough with OJ Mayo.   more...

USC got a taste of the new basketball era with prep superstar OJ Mayo joining the team, as he reportedly punched a teammate in the jaw and broke it. The media has reported that it was a "hard elbow", but another player states that Mayo clearly punched him. Either way, its going to be an interesting   more...

Super recruit OJ Mayo scored 32 points but led the Trojans to an opening game loss to unranked Mercer. The Trojan guard however, had only 7 points when it actually mattered and led the team with 8 turnovers. Is this going to be a preview of the entire season, where Mayo "gets his" but the Trojans   more...

Master P's kid, Lil Romeo (Percy Miller Jr.) has committed to play basketball for USC in 2008. Oh yeah, and he's bringing his buddy, 4-star recruit Demar Derozan with him.

This is an open plea to OJ Mayo to start keeping a blog here. I can't think of a player right now who would benefit more by doing so. He would get to tell his side of any story he wants and the audience here would believe and forgive him the same way they do so for Carmelo Anthony and all of the   more...

This shouldn't surprise anyone. What is surprising is that O.J. plans to finish out the academic semester. Good luck in the NBA, Mayo. Keep in mind, though, that players at the next level will often be better than you, and at times you'll have to -- GASP -- pass the ball. You'll also probably have   more...

I don't have anything against the kid but a 2 star recruit who is only going there because of his buddy DeMar DeRozan should not have taken a scholarship. Last I checked, his dad Master P, is worth several hundred million and not using up a scholarship would free one up for another kid who can't   more...

And apparently the USC hoops recruit is worried that one of its members knocked up Jaime Lynn Spears.Bad enough the 'lil dude don't like to pass, now he's gotta deal with his 'lil posse running rampant in the pants of his 'lil Hollywood gal pals.

Mayo came to USC arguably for the media coverage and now is taking full advantage of it. The talk about his future is a little too premature for me, he hasn't even suited up yet, but its good to see that he's able to handle the media. He's got the "I have to support my family" line down already,   more...

Reggie Bush, Matt Leinart, Dwayne Jarrett and now O.J. Mayo makes for a long list of high-profile USC players tied to allegations of misconduct under NCAA rules. Is it time for some "lack of institutional control" sanctions? A look at the new accusations and a look back at the too-recent past.
