March 21, 200719 yr OJ is a product of his environment, but still a sideshow. From all reports that I have heard he is a good kid, but he has no responsible guidance and everyone around him who has his ear unfortunately also is sucking off him for a future payday. Sad. If feel sorry for Coach Floyd because I really think he is in a catch 22. How do you turn down the #1 player in the country? You can't, but as crimedoc said, it is going to come at a great cost and I don't think there is any question about who is in control.

You sell your soul what do you do as a coach when that bill comes due and he wants to start making decisions for the program?

Especially when OJ says to him "Don't do your job (recruiting), I'll do it for you."
March 21, 200719 yr get a load of this guy... Dont call me, I'll call you...:lol: I remember when he came to Frankfort he had bodyguards around him...:lol: funny dude
March 21, 200719 yr Wonder if he will get OJ's cell phone number once he actually begins as a student on USC campus? Wonder if his marketing plan stands in contrast to practice (remember we are talking about practice here. Practice? It's just practice), which wins out?
March 21, 200719 yr Especially when OJ says to him "Don't do your job (recruiting), I'll do it for you."If OJ can do it better (and Floyd will be the first to admit that) why not tell him, 'knock yourself out.'
March 21, 200719 yr Wonder if he will get OJ's cell phone number once he actually begins as a student on USC campus? Wonder if his marketing plan stands in contrast to practice (remember we are talking about practice here. Practice? It's just practice), which wins out? There's a reason he doesn't give his cell phone out, because he'd just have to throw it away the next day. It would never stop ringing. I don't blame him at ALL on that one.
March 21, 200719 yr It will be interesting to see how the control issue plays out. The returning Trojan players have to read this and know that OJ will run the show from Day 1. So when they're on the court, do they listen to Coach? Or do they listen to OJ? With whom do you cast your lots?
March 21, 200719 yr Great on lbbc. Practice? Does anybody have a link for a broadcast of today's games? I have tickets for the whole tournament but I am stuck here at work. Bummer .
March 21, 200719 yr There's a reason he doesn't give his cell phone out, because he'd just have to throw it away the next day. It would never stop ringing. I don't blame him at ALL on that one. But to the coach of the school that YOU intiated contact with and indicated YOU wanted to go there?
March 21, 200719 yr But to the coach of the school that YOU intiated contact with and indicated YOU wanted to go there?Like I said, I don't blame him at all.
March 21, 200719 yr I think the article sheds a little light on why OJ didn't go to a schools such as Duke, UK, or UNC. This kid apparantly isn't used to anyone telling him what to do. Can you see Coach K allowing anybody to be bigger than the program.
March 21, 200719 yr I do not think I have ever said this, but I hope this kids Fails at the college level...
