Basketball Dates
Here’s some more home basketball dates:
Nov. 28 – Mississippi Valley State
Dec. 14 – Bethune Cookman
Dec. 17 – Charleston Southern (Las Vegas Classic)
Dec. 19 – Longwood (Las Vegas Classic. No, this is not a misprint)
USC opens with South Carolina (which recently signed a contract) for its first basketball game at the Galen Center and other home opponents include St. Mary’s, The Citadel, Long Beach State and Loyola Marymount.
Meanwhile, Davon Jefferson showed up Thursday night to play pickup basketball. The former Lynwood High still wants to attend USC and needs to clear considerable academic obstacles.
The last report I received was that Jefferson was still not doing everything necessary academically, although there’s still time for him to get things together.
Every time I hear about USC basketball I can't help but think about Ryan Francis. I was lucky enough to watch several USC games live. As much as I was frustrated with his play sometimes, he never ceased to give up. I definitely saw him as the future leader of the team, much like Brandon Granville was several years ago.

Only people who care are Scotty and 3 old guys in Newport beach.
