Guest Blogger of the Week-Steven A. Latos

It is my honor to introduce this week's guest blogger of the week, Steven A. Latos.  He is a Prospect '08 graduate and will be a Xavier University class of '12 graduate in a few short months.  While Steve and I have had many spats over sports in past years, we have come to a mutual respect of each other when it comes to sports knowledge.  I do not know anyone that has the same passion and fire as I have for college basketball and professional golf.  I have attended college games and various sports events with him over the years.  Additionally, we have gone on camping/golfing trips and played many rounds of golf together.

Steve and I have attended the John Deere Classic and three PGA championships (Medinah, Hazeltine, Whistling Straits) where we met and watched the best some of the best players in the world.  We are both the biggest Tiger Woods fans you will meet.  We both share in the frustration of the past few years of his career, but we both chat regularly about golf and fist pump when Tiger does well.  We haven't given up on him and want to see him do well.  On the golf course, we seem to understand each other's game and play at a good speed too.

Regarding college basketball, we are both obsessed with Selection Sunday when the tournament field is finally unveiled.  But Steve and I watch college basketball starting in November and regularly discuss at length about the world of college basketball.  Today, he will be discussing the race for National Player of the Year in college basketball and will touch on a few other things.  I feel like Steve is very highly qualified to speak on this matter because he watches a ton of college basketball and has an analyst's mind.

Without further ado, take it away Mr. Latos.
