Manhatten HS in Manhatten Kansas. Huggins is just as dirty as OJ's AAU coach.

Link???

Gosh, this would just be an ever increasing degree of madness:scared:

 

If true, I find it depressing that this talented young man (I think he's 18 now?) continues to bounce around and seems to have no stable influence to turn to OR is willing to listen to?:confused:

 

I know the interest level in phenoms is higher than ever but we have seen lots of super talented individuals who are grounded enough that they aren't pulled into the orbit of selfish ideals and behaviors.:thumb:

 

I don't mean to attack the player but I am attacking the system that allows, creates, and/or perpetuates this type scenario :fight: - and adults are an important part of it. Once an athlete turns 18 he needs to decide what path he wants to follow. I hope they eventually use some good advice on that path.

Can you provide us a link?

I looked for a link, but could not find one, but on forum page, they say that they heard the same thing, and Mayo's coach will be Huggs director of basketball ops, but thay could not provide a link either.

 

 

"WKRC-TV in Cincinnati late news. Said Oak Hill told Mayo no thanks since he failed to tell them that he was currently suspended from NCH when he visited Oak Hill last week.

 

Says he's been accepted at Manhatten HS in Manhatten, KS. Also said that his coach/guardian is soon to be named by Huggins as the Director Of Basketball Operations at Kansas State"

I agree Woody, (great minds do think alike, don't they :D ) I sincerely wish the kid well (no matter what certain "expert" posters think) and I do agree that O.J. himself needs to decide what path to follow. In todays world especially,all teenagers and not just O.J. are faced with pressures of all types. There are only two choices imo, the right choice or the wrong choice. At some point you have to live life and make decisions for yourself and not ones that benefit some "leech" that only wants to benefit off of your talents and sucsess for their own gain :fight: or person's that are basking in your sucsess and wanting a piece of it or the popularity that comes with it , these people are almost as bad as the "leeches" I spoke of in living off of someone else's talent . If a person (no matter what age) is doing the right things and making every effort to do so things usually fall into place. Everyone has "bumps" in the road and bad decisions. To me it is how you come out of those situations and learn from them is what makes you :thumb: . An athlete as talented and gifted as O.J. needs imo walk above reproach and make every effort to do the right things. That may not sound fair but someone is always watching and waiting for them to screw up. Again, I honestly wish this kid luck and sucsess but imo he nees to make better decisions than the ones he has been making.

If this is confirmed, how convinient for Kansas "thuggins" State University.:sssh: At any rate, I do hope the kid has sucsess and gets away from these AAU crooks.

O.J. Mayo needs to join the Ringling Brothers!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW!!!!! Any word on what Walker is doing?

Perhaps this is a hijack .. (just ignore if it is)

 

but here's a Doyle article on players who obviously either don't have any well grounded individuals to turn to for advice OR they just don't listen to anyone anymore ..........
