Hillside, you had one commentary that sounded humanlike and then you went into smackdom...which I know is new for WSU...but not becoming. So, let's just return this thread to its general roots. I found it interesting that Mayo visited USC in the summer and really liked it (what college-aged guy wouldn't like SoCal in the summer). Mayo did not do a verbal and has apparently indicated he'll take his visits to KSU and Florida during the season before committing. I think an in-season visit is stronger than an out-of-season visit. Just seems like better exposure to the program (although exposure at USC during the summer is likely pretty good). Mayo wants to be the centerpiece and has previously indicated he didn't want to go to a basketball factory. Florida returns a ton of guys and is coming off a nat'l title. Is Mayo going to have the same legacy there?? I think we are still well in the hunt for O.J. Obviously, his handlers have bent his ear about the SoCal spotlight but I think Huggins can help him with the, "lose the distractions and focus on hoops for one year and then you are NBA-bound". From what I have read in the past, O.J. has worked hard on his game over time and wants to be great, he and Bill Walker are friends, there is a relationship with Huggs, and Huggs attorney helping Walker will likely also help some. The weekend with Louisville, if Mayo, Walker, and Beasley (and maybe Pope) all come together will be huge!!!! The crowd needs to be awesome!
GRCOAT is still out there, it is up to KSU (facilities, students, etc.) to land them. We know Huggy and staff can work all the angles...let's just hope weather is decent and they feel at home.
