OJ Mayo Breaks into USC's Starting 5
With a sweet uppercut!
Seems like Timmy Floyd needs to spend less time recruiting 13 year olds, and more time teaching his starters how to take punches from O.J. Mayo. Apparently this happened September 28th, but he still has a jaw that's wired shut and has lost a ton of weight. Hackett started 16 games for USC last year, and averaged 21 minutes per. This qualifies him as the most experienced back court player that USC has. He played most of those minutes at point, which just so happens to be Mayo's desired position.
Sounds like a recipe for success!
USC has some blue chip recruits, but it lost a ton from last year, including 3 starters who logged half of the teams total minutes (over 80% of the PG/SG/SF minutes), and currently has little to no back court depth, and no one that can shoot the three consistently (unless Mayo can).
I predict an underwhelming performance by USC this year, and a big step back from them after last year. This team has too many questions that can only be answered by freshman and sophomore players - they only have one upperclassman who got off the bench at all last year!
