- Very thorough and lengthy O.J. Mayo video interview at the ABC7.com website. Gotta love the part where he says he's a "Trojan" and then follows it up with a smile and "Fight On". I've mentioned it numerous times before, I think O.J. is a great kid who's going to do big things at USC.
- Kinda bizarre yet interesting story about SC fan and alumnus, Paul Salata. He is the man behind the "Mr. Irrelevant" award, which goes to the last person selected the NFL draft. Here's an excerpt:
Everywhere he goes, he takes a pack of stickers. "Kids love stickers,"' he says. At one time they were pictures of a "Handicapped Parking" placard with the letters "UCLA" underneath. Most of the stickers now have something to do with USC, or Irrelevant Week, another zany idea of his.
Years ago he heard about someone picking a name out of the telephone book, calling them and inviting them to Laguna Beach just to have a good time.
The world needs more people like Paul...
- DraftExpress.net's revised mock draft has Nick Young at #13:
13 Hornets Nick Young SG/SF
22 years old; 6'7"; 206 lbs.
USC, JuniorThe Hornets pick arguably the best shooting guard in this draft, satisfying their biggest need.
Guess they didn't think too much of Gabe. Other mock drafts I've seen have Gabe going as high as #20. I personally think he'll break into the 1st round.
