WeAreSC columnist Erik McKinney had a question and answer session with USC head coach Tim Floyd. Among the interesting points was what O.J. Mayo did on his official visit to USC. No, not a night out of town with Nick Young and Gabe Pruitt. Instead, he was shooting in the gym:

He came in here on his visit, you’ll love this. I mean, I love everything about him, from a coach’s standpoint. He comes in here on his visit and we go to a dinner. He’s trying to be socially interactive with his student host, I forget who. It may have been Gabe and Nick out with us that night. But he’s trying to carry on conversation. He’s a little socially awkward because he’s spent his whole life in a gym, you know? He comes over to me after the meal and he says, coach do you have Rob’s number? Rob’s my manager. I said, “Yeah I got it.” He asked for it and I said yeah. So Gabe and Nick wanted to take him out on the town after the meal, but he asked them to take him back to campus. He meets up with Rob and goes up and shoots in the gym from midnight until 3:00 in the morning on his official visit. I love that stuff. I love it. I’ve never been around a guy like that. That’s why he’s got a chance to be great.

Greatness.
