Jimmer Mania is coming back to Utah!  Fredette announced in a radio interview earlier today that he will be hosting not one but two exhibition games in the great state of Utah on September 21 and 22.

And even better yet, the two teams playing in the games will be comprised of NBA rookies… with one team being captained by Fredette and coached by BYU’s Dave Rose, while the other will be coached by SDSU’s Steve Fisher and may be captained ex-Aztec Kawhi Leonard. Other players expected to play in the game include…

Jimmer may be white on the outside, but I’m telling you this kid has got a black soul.. and not just because of the way he can ball, it’s for how bad he is at golf. At this weekends American Century Classic Championship (a golf tournament for athletes and celebrities) Jimmer finished in dead last place… 96 strokes back of the winner and even worst 20 strokes behind Charles Barkley, the former world golfer alive.

The embarrassing scorecard below…

We interrupt our normally scheduled college sports stories to bring you an important pop culture break… Lil’ Wayne’s newest mixtape “Sorry For The Wait” to hold fans over until he releases his next studio album arrival of Tha Carter IV, which drops on August 29th.

We’ve got the entire tape embedded for you below so you can listen and pay special attention to track number six because he shouts out Jimmer Fredette.

Listen to and download the mixtape below…

I don’t buy all this talk about how Jimmer Fredette isn’t going to make a good pro because he can’t defend… I think he’s going to get to the league and kill. His white unathleticness is not going to be the thing that brings him down, if anything does it’s going to be his wanna be rapper fame whore of a brother TJ.

Here he goes once again showcasing his skillz at halftime of streetball game at Dyckman Park in Manhattan last night. Hoe sit down! [via]

Man are we going to miss Jimmer Fredette and all his mania. He is the closet thing to Tim Tebow that I think we’re ever going to see in college basketball… a white player who is super religious that is actually great at a sport people actually watch.

So here goes our very last Jimmer post folks… Jimmer at a mall in SacTown, where thousands (okay maybe hundreds) of fans showed up to welcome him. The mania continues! [via BustedCoverage]

Jimmer’s winning Player of the Year awards left and right like a Mike Tyson combo. He finished the season on the First Team All-American Team. Picked up the Wooden Award yesterday. Was awarded the Oscar Robertson Trophy by the U.S. Basketball Writers Association a few weeks ago. Collected POY trophies from Sporting News and Associated Press more recently. And let’s not forget the most important award of them all, basketball’s version of the Heisman, the Naismith Award…he won that too.

But probably the most awesome thing that’s happened to him since the seasons been over, “school officials asked him to stop attending classes because his presence was a disruption”. Must be nice! For more on Jimmer rockstar life read on here.

Last night Jimmer Fredette was exposed for what he truly, a slow white average shooter. Sure he finished with 32 points, but it was an Allen Iverson 32 where he dribbled the ball an insane amount and shot three times more than everybody on his team…finishing 11-29 from the field, 3-15 from 3-point range with 2 rebounds, 5 assist, and 6 turnovers.

And while those numbers are nowhere near the ones he’s being putting up this season, it is exactly the kind of numbers that he is going to be putting up in the NBA. But forget about the points and offense for a second because where Jimmer really struggled last night was on defense. Whether it was Kenny Boynton or Erving Walker, Florida’s guards were driving around him like he had cement in his shoes.
