Top Candidates
1. Toby Gerhart-RB Stanford
He ranks 1st nationally in rushing yards, second in yards per game, and 1st in touchdowns.
Gerhart deserves to win.
2. Mark Ingram-RB Alabama
Ingram is the favorite to win the Heisman, but he doesn't have the statistics to support him. Ingram is a great player, but not as dominant and punishing as Gerhart.
3. Colt McCoy-QB Texas
Put on a show with 4 tds against Texas A&M.
4. Tim Tebow-QB Florida
Played his best game of the season in his last game in "The Swamp." If Tebow and his gators beat Ingram and Alabama next week, he would have a very good chance of winning the Heisman.
5. Kellen Moore-QB Boise State
Moore has been playing very well, but Boise State's easy schedule has really hurt his chances.

NCAA Football week 6
My top ten :
#1 Florida-Doing well, but their big test is this week against LSU.
#2 Alabama-The best defence in the country also has an impessive and young offence.
#3 Texas-They haven't done anything to prove theirselves yet.
#4 Boise State-Kellen Moore is a great quaterback, but their strength-of-schedule is horrible.
#5 LSU-The tigers have survived Georgia, but they have Florida this week.
#6 Cincinati-Mardy Gilyard (WR) is amazing and so is QB Tony Pike.
#7 TCU-Great defence, but that is all that they can really rely on.
#8 USC-Matt Barkley is looking really good... the trojans are back in the race.
#9 Miami-Jacory Harris and the Hurricanes need to recover from their loss to Virginia Tech.
#10 Virginia Tech-Besides the loss to Alabama, they're looking very impressive.
Suprises so far:
Stanford, 4-1 (3-0 in Pac-Ten)
Toby Gerhert is having an outstanding senior year. If the Cardinal win in Corvallis on Saturday, they will be in the top 25.
Ole Miss, 3-1 (1-1 in SEC)
It doesn't look like Ole Miss are going to be title contenders anymore. Being upset limited their chances. If they want to contend, the Rebels need to beat Alabama this week, which is not an easy task.

Harbaugh
My family went to have lunch in Palo Alto, with a lot of people, including Jim Harbaugh, the Stanford football head coach. It was very interesting hearing him talk about the Stanford program that he is in charge of. Harbaugh really made Stanford football a better team. Stanford is an up-and-coming team that will be a top 25 team in the years to come. Coach Harbaugh's motto is: "We are going to bring an enthusiasm unknown to mankind!" It worked, too.

Giants Game
I had great seats behined home plate to watch the San Francisco Giants and Barry Zito beat the Philadelphia Phillies and Cole Hamels 7-3. Freddy Sanchez, newly aquired player from the Pirates, had a great game in his debut. Pablo Sandoval was also very successful, as he drove in some runs. Right now, the 22 year-old Sandoval is the weapon and the crowd favorite offensive player on the Giants. It was a great game, and very important for the Giants, since they are in a very tight race to win the wild card.
NL Wild Card race (Baseball)
The NL Wild Card race is raelly tight. The Rockies, Giants, Cubs, and Cardinals are within one game of each other.
Whoever makes the playoffs out of these teams, I bet, will come down to the last few games.

My week at Stanford
I went to a Stanford basketball camp this week. There were a lot of great players who have a lot of potential. I played pretty well throughout the week (Tuesday-Friday) and our team went undefeated until losing in the championship game by one. I thought that one of the best parts of the camp was having lectures from a lot of the coaches. We had a lecture from head coach Johnny Dawkins (also third leading scorer all-time in the ACC at Duke), coach Tension (Assistant coach, taught Gilbert Arenas, Jason Terry and other NBA players), coach Davey (assistant coach, taught Steve Nash and Hasheem Thabeet), and coach Payne (Director of student-athlete development).

Most succesful incoming Rookies
Which players will be the most successful as rookies in the NBA?
Blake Griffon Forward Los Angeles Clippers
With his talent and will, Blake Griffon will dominate as a rookie as he did at the University of Oklahoma, if he gets enough playing time. He has a great team to help him, though the Clippers were devistated by injuries last season. As the number one pick in the NBA draft, Blake Griffon will be amazing in his first NBA season.
Tyreke Evans Guard Sacramento Kings
He is a very talented and tall guard that will need to be a leader for Sacramento to be a success.
Evans is a winner, as shown in the amazing season that he and his team, Memphis, had last year. His winning attitude will provide the spark that the Kings need for a much better season.
Stephen Curry Guard Golden State Warriors
He has done what many people thought was impossible. Curry took a team, Davidson, which was practically Division II, and single-handedly brought them to the Elite Eight last year. He was also the leading scorer across America. If he has a season anything close to the seasons that that he has had in the past two years, he will be the Rookie of the Year.
James Harden Guard Oklahoma City Thunder
Harden is a fantastic lefty scorer with a great competitive game that will help him and his team a lot. He will be great teammates with Thunder players Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant. He is a great fit for this team and the Thunder will be a great team in six years.
Players For the Future
Jrue Holiday Guard Philidalphia 76ers
A young all around player who was Gatorade National High School player of the year a year ago.
DeMar Derozan Guard Toronto Raptors
A very athletic player who has electrifying dunks and is only 19 years old.
Lester Hudson Guard Boston Celtics
A player who has been strongly overlooked for playing in an unknown league. Once he gets to play, the second best scorer last year will be a very good player for Boston.
Brandon Jennings Guard Milwaulkee Bucks
A super speedy explosive player who is a project, but will be dominant.
Darren Collison Guard New Orleans Hornets
Played in three final fours in college and was a two time All-American. When he gets the starting job, he will be great.
Hasheem Thabeet Center Memphis Grizzlies
The 7'2 and 1/2 foot center needs some time to get some offence going, but for now, 4.4 block per game is great.
Blake Griffon Forward Los Angeles Clippers
With his talent and will, Blake Griffon will dominate as a rookie as he did at the University of Oklahoma, if he gets enough playing time. He has a great team to help him, though the Clippers were devistated by injuries last season. As the number one pick in the NBA draft, Blake Griffon will be amazing in his first NBA season.

Hasheem Thabeet Center Memphis Grizzlies
The 7'2 and 1/2 foot center needs some time to get some offence going, but for now, 4.4 block per game is great.
The Real NBA draft
Okay, I wasn't completely accurate with my mock draft. I got the first one right, with Blake Griffon going to the L.A. Clippers, but that was all. Tyreke Evans went to Sacramento at 4, even though I had him going at 14. Ricky Rubio dropped all the way to 5, and the Minnesota Timberwolves selected back-to-back guards (5 and 6). Stephen Curry went to the Warriors at 7. It was anouther crazy draft day.
NBA offseason trades
Shaq was traded to the Cavs. But will Shaq provide enough help to LeBron to win it all next year for Cleveland?
The Warriors made a very interesting and smart move to trade star guard Jamal Crawford ($18 million) for low-priced players Acie Law and Speedy Claxton, whose contracts are ending in a year. Why did they do this? They save a ton of money. Why do they have to save a ton of money? Well, right now they are in the process of trading three of their players for the great multiple all-star big man, Amare Stoudimire. If this deal is finalized, the Warriors will be in good shape for next year.
The Nets have traded one of their best players, Vince Carter, for Orlando's Courtney Lee, Rafer Alston, and Tony Battie. It is going to work out very well for both teams.
