Adam,
I went to HS with Sam's dad so I know he is a smart kid, but Rivers i guess is just a regular guy but what a player the trojans will miss this guy. Nice article by BK hit the nail right on the head so to speak i think last years team had better ball movement then this one. Like to see Mayo come back it would be an intering team, but Tim still needs some more Center- fowards maybe JCs.
