LeBron has finally made his way into college, although not to play basketball.  Instead, he's doing the next best thing -- getting schools to wear apparel named after him, including Kentucky.

LeBron's taking this, "I wanna be like Mike" thing to a whole new level.

  He's not good enough yet, but he may get there.

  As an aside, how cool is it to have 4* players like Lewis wishing for an offer.  I remember when we were fighting for these guys, and now we can afford to turn our nose up at them.   Times have changed -- for the better.

  "If he ends up starting, it would not surprise me," Watson said. "He will flat run over you. He blows people up. He has about 4.45 speed (in the 40-yard dash). He is fast and has a good little juke, but his runs bruise you. He makes you think twice before you hit him again. He’s a lineman’s dream."

  I like this guy already, sight unseen.
