Kansas' Jackson Thinks O.J. Mayo is 'Just a Regular Guy'

Darnell Jackson > O.J. Mayo. Sorta.

From the Kansas City Star via The Big Lead:

To KU forward Darnell Jackson, Mayo's game was almost pedestrian.

"He's just a regular guy to me," Jackson said. "I don't see anything impressive about him."

Well, then. If Darnell Jackson doesn't think OJ Mayo is impressive, that's that. I'm pretty sure that Darnell Jackson is the final word when it comes to evaluating talent.

It's true that Mayo wasn't spectacular in the Trojan's 59-55 loss to the Jayhawks.
He was 6 of 21 shooting for 19 points. He had five turnovers.

I haven't seen USC a ton yet, but from what I have seen, Mayo's looked like a guy who would've been a top-10 pick had he been able to turn pro. He's ultra talented and -- so far -- he hasn't brought a lot of the distractions to LA that many thought he might. He's made some freshman-like plays, but if we're talking in terms of "impressive" or "talent," Mayo would be among the best in the country.
