A Powerful New Triumvirate Reigning Over College Basketball

Three new kings have emerged in NCAA Division I college basketball. These three players could easily be showing off their game in the NBA right now. The college basketball world better enjoy the show this year because these three players will most likely run for the NBA after the year.

What players make up this powerful triumvirate?

First, we got Eric Gordon of the Indiana Hoosiers. This hometown stud has gave the Big Ten something worth watching. His presence has already been felt as he has averaged 28pts/game and shot over 61%. He has given the the Indiana program promising hope for this season and towards a Final 4 run in March. The state of Indiana couldn't be happier after Gordon decided to part with his initial scholarship to Illinois.

Next, we have Mr. Love, Kevin Love. Love is the reighning 2007 HS Gatorade Player of the Year. He has dominated his competition in Oregon and has played with some of the greatest in AAU competitions. Love now has a chance to lead the #1 ranked UCLA Bruins to a national championship. He has started off with a bang leading the Bruins with 20 pts/game and 11 rebounds/game.

Finally, the head of the emerging triumvirate is O.J. Mayo. He is the Terrell Owens of basketball. His skills are off the charts, but he also brings quite a swagger with him. Mayo personally contacted Tim Floyd at USC and told him he would play at USC. No recruiting necessary. Some think Mayo did this because he wants to soak up all the attention in the country's second biggest media market. Both Mayo and Love are good friends and will play each other at least twice this year. The USC v. UCLA games are already being talked about as one of the biggest sporting events of the whole year.

Gordon, Love, and Mayo will turn as lot of heads and roll a few ankles this season. Look for each of them to leave for the NBA and bring their sensational skills to the Big Show next year
