With the exception of a very limited few, most players have already chosen their future college and are preparing to take the court as collegiate freshmen next year. There was a flurry of players being released from the letters of intent they signed last November, and others did not qualify and will be attending a prep school or junior college next year.

Some GMs starting to Love UCLA big man (340 clicks)
Kevin Love of UCLA was always a top-14 pick, no matter how many fans and writers didn't previously grasp his obvious talents and slotted him outside the lottery and into the late teens. But now comes reality: He could be at the tipping point the night of June 26. "I think Love could end up at No. 3," said the general manager of one lottery team. "I'm hearing a lot of Love because he has his weight and conditioning under control."

So I started thinking- since OJ Mayo was able to orchestrate exactly where he went to school and by what terms, then maybe all of this recent media coverage in the OJ Mayo case is by design as well. Perhaps all of this is actually a calculated ploy to try to get some endorsement deals. Maybe it's the early stages of some viral marketing.
