O.J Mayo’s profile on DraftExpress


Ok everyone is talking about OJ MAYO, but who is OJ MAYO ? the new LeBron James ? or the new Jordan ? ...

Here are couple of comment on the star prospect:

"Ovinton J’Anthony (O.J.) Mayo started for Rose Hill Christian H.S. (Ashland, KY) since the seventh-grade. He averaged 23.1 points that season and 20.5 as an eighth-grader in leading the school to its first Kentucky state tournament. Transferred to the Ohio school for his freshman season. "

On 3/16/2005, OJ Mayo wins MR.BAsketball title:
"2005 - O.J. Mayo, Cincinnati North College Hill, 6-foot-5, sophomore. Averaged 28.9 points, 7.8 rebounds, 7.7 assists and 3.4 steals for team ranked No. 1 in state both of his varsity seasons. Becomes only second sophomore to win the award, behind LeBron James. Led North College Hill to first state tournament appearance in 16 years." (AP).

"Mayo led Rose Hill (KY) Christian Academy to the Sweet 16 as an 8th grader, averaging 20.5 ppg. He was named first team all-state in 2002-03 and attended the 2003 adidas ABCD Camp. Led team to 15 and under title at Kingwood in April 2004."

"Co-MVP of ABCD underclassman all-star game. Terrific summer performer. Enters his sophomore season as the best PG in America"

"One of the most unselfish stars in years. He passes the ball like an advanced player, shoots it deep and there’s no way to stop him off the drive in high school. Big time competitor who consistently wins, meets challenges and sets the bar for kids in his class. "

"Ranked by Rivals.com as the #1 player in the 2007 class. Considered the #1 prospect in Ohio for 2007. O.J. has expressed his desire to go to college rather than the NBA in the past. O.J. is listing Cincinnati, Duke, Georgia Tech, Kentucky, Louisville, Michigan State, North Carolina and West Virginia. Ohio State is actively recruiting him."

on 07.24.2008		 No Joke, OJ is a great Ball player. I’m so glad to see him go forward and do well. I grew up with his Grandmother (Skipper) floretta. OJ is a carbon copy of both his Grandmother and his Great Grand father Sammy Mayo. To his Mother as well, you did great raising him. I know Skipper is looking down at him smiling. .

on 05.21.2007		 Oj Mayo is the best high school basketball player rite now. He is unstoppable he does have off court issues and he doesnt handle pressure well. He is going to USC and he will learn how to handle pressure and wont have off court problems. .
