DeMar DeRozan Improves Academic Standing

Prized USC recruit DeMar DeRozan's SAT score from last month "improved about 80 or 90 points" from his previous score, Compton High Coach Tony Thomas said Wednesday, meaning the McDonald's All-American should be eligible to play for the Trojans next season.

"He's pretty sure he's got enough based upon whatever grades he gets," Thomas said. "He thinks he'll be more than fine."

DeMar's father, Frank DeRozan, said his son had achieved four A's and a B in correspondence courses through Brigham Young University. Such courses are often used to boost high school grade-point averages.

LMAO. It is common for students to take correspondence classes to qualify? Really? Name one UCLA basketball player who has done so.

What you should say it is common for Tim Floyd to recruit athletes with marginal academics and shady pasts.
