HACKENSACK, N.J. -- Oden and Mayo, Mayo and Oden -- so goes the song of the 2005 summer-camp circuit.

If there are household names in college basketball recruiting, these two are currently it: Ohio State-bound Greg Oden, the 7-foot center from Indianapolis, has been doing pull-ups on the Reebok ABCD camp rims this week, an NBA-ready man dunking on boys. And O.J. Mayo, the unstoppable Cincinnati-area guard, wowed the camp with his 21-point, five-rebound, six-assist, zero-turnover performance in a showdown with fiery Brooklyn 14-year-old Lance Stephenson on Wednesday night. It was Oden and Mayo who stood 1-2 in every overall player ranking at ABCD, and it was only Oden and Mayo who commanded packs of reporters following their opening camp games.

To label the 2005 ABCD a two-man affair, however, would be grossly inaccurate. Beyond the aforementioned duo, there have been a host of prospects at Fairleigh Dickinson University this week who could make an instant impact at the college level. After scouting the field, here are some solid candidates:

FIVE WHO ARE READY FOR THE NCAA -- NOW

Damion James Scout.com

Damion James, 6-8 PF, Nacogdoches (Texas) H.S.
(Ranked No. 17 by Scout.com in Class of 2006)

James' commitment to Oklahoma in April didn't make major waves in the greater (see: non-recruitnik) portion of the college hoops world, but his rep is now exploding as a result of a series of impressive summer performances. His rise could parallel that of Gerald Green, another Texas prepster who made a late splash and ended up as one of the highest-ranked players in his class. Playing alongside fellow future Sooner Scottie Reynolds, James averaged 16.0 points and 6.3 boards in his first four ABCD games, displaying a wildly athletic skill set for a kid who's listed as a power forward. "[James] has taken his game to a level that separates the good from the elite," said Justin Young, a recruiting analyst for Rivals.com. "Right now, he has to be one of those guys that makes the NBA wish it didn't pass the age-limit rule."

Kevin Love Scout.com

Kevin Love, 6-9 C, Lake Oswego (Ore.) H.S.
(Ranked No. 3 in Class of '07)

The son of former Oregon Duck and NBA vet Stan Love, Kevin sports dual knee braces and a jersey number, 200, large enough to span his backside, which at times occupies half of the lane. He also happens to be, easily, the best pure post player at the camp not named Oden. Love is a better passer and outside shooter than Oden, and what he lacks in raw athleticism, he makes up for in sharp basketball instinct and a knack for establishing great position on the blocks. He reminds me of a substantially souped-up version of former Purdue star Brian Cardinal (that's meant to be a compliment). Love could go to any of his suitor schools -- led by Arizona and North Carolina, followed by Duke, Kansas, Oregon and UCLA -- and be a major contributor immediately. "Love is one of the top five players in the country, regardless of class," said Young. "He's old-school, tough as nails and he's starting to extend his game out to the 3-point line. If you're a basketball purist, he's fun to watch."

Bill Walker Scout.com

Bill Walker, 6-6 SG/SF, North College Hill H.S., Cincinnati
(Ranked No. 5 in Class of '07)

Nicknamed "Skywalker" due to his penchant for highlight-reel-caliber dunks, Walker is Mayo's running mate both in high school and on the ABCD's 76ers squad. They teamed up to cruise through Wednesday and Thursday 4-0, with Mayo averaging 16.8 points and Walker 10.8. Walker is not actually 6-6 -- more like 6-3 or 6-4, by my estimation -- and there are question marks about his jumper, but he is an absurd leaper in the mold of current Arizona star Hassan Adams and is a tenacious perimeter defender with long arms. The North College Hill trio of Mayo, Walker and Keenen Ellis plans on attending college together -- but local recruiting power Ohio State appears to be fading off of their list after it landed its mammoth Class of '06. Mayo didn't list the Buckeyes as one of his possible destinations this week (instead, they are: Florida A&M, Syracuse, UConn, Louisville, Texas, Kentucky, UNC and West Virginia), and Walker said that after he saw Oden & Co. commit to OSU, "I put them down on my list. ... That's a great class, but I don't think they'll have any room left in '07."

Herb Pope

Herb Pope, 6-8 PF, Alquippa (Pa.) H.S.
(Ranked No. 15 in Class of '07)

Pittsburgh has the right to be salivating over the impending arrival of Pope, a local junior who committed to the Panthers back in March. "He's going to make a huge impact in the Big East," Young said. Pope should not be labeled the next Chevy Troutman or Chris Taft; he is a highly versatile, smooth player who was one of ABCD's top rebounders but also displayed skill at handling the ball and stepping out to shoot the 3. Besides, Pope said on Thursday, "I don't plan on being a post forward [at Pitt] -- I do everything. I figure by the time I get there, they'll get another legit big man." Pope looked like the kind of player the Panthers can build their future around -- so they'd be wise to take his advice.

Davon Jefferson Scout.com

Davon Jefferson, 6-8 SF, Lynwood H.S., Hawthorne, Calif.
(Class of '06)

Jefferson is an elite forward prospect who stood out at ABCD for his soft hands and strong dunks on the Celtics team, but he doesn't appear in most '06 class rankings. Not because he's unworthy, but rather because he was originally a member of the Class of '05 who signed on to attend UNLV in the fall. Jefferson has since backed out of the commitment -- he wouldn't have academically qualified anyway, since he didn't graduate from Lynwood High -- and will head to prep school -- either Mount Zion Christian Academy in Durham, N.C., or Stonebridge in Los Angeles -- in the fall. Jefferson cooled on the Runnin' Rebels when the coach who recruited him to Vegas, Marvin Menzies, departed for Louisville. "I really can't talk to any colleges right now," said Jefferson, "since I'm not officially released from UNLV." But with heavies like USC, UCLA, Kansas and the 'Ville in pursuit of Jefferson for his second recruiting go-around, expect him to resurface on a big stage in '06-07 if his academics are in order.

AND ONE TO LOOK FOR IN THE (MUCH) DISTANT FUTURE ...

Renardo Sidney, 6-9 PF, Piney Woods H.S., Jacksonville, Miss.
(Class of '09)

"Did you see that 15-year-old kid from Mississippi?" was an oft-repeated question between onlookers at ABCD, where Sidney was the youngest player invited and proved to be more than a novelty act. A baby-faced physical specimen who has yet to even start high school, he averaged 10.5 points in his first four games at the camp. Despite being 6-9, he told me that, "on my 17-and-under team in Mississippi, I'm a ball-handling guard." At this point, Sidney reminded me of a younger Charlie Villanueva -- he had a similar lumbering gait and was prone to defensive lapses, but would make exceptional plays on offense, from no-look passes to dunks in the paint. Sidney was so raw that he hadn't even learned how to act annoyed with the media yet -- he addressed me as "sir" during our interview. He said that "Duke, Oklahoma, Rutgers -- and some others" have already indicated their interest. And I'm betting they're interested in much more than his politeness.
