So do you see him...
1. Sitting out a year and sitting on a shoe contract
2. Playing in Europe
3. or playing in a developmental league? |

Almost all recruiting journalists have held that opinion that he will leave... mostly so he can start earning endorsements and not have to attend classes...
While some may look down upon it, I can understand the appeal.

Good Article about Matta and Company hitting the three major summer camps going on during July. The staff can evaluate from July 6-15 and July 22-31, with July 16-21 considered a "dark" period. Article touches on who could be the next addition to the 2006 class.
The following prospects of interest to Buckeye fans will be in action...
Greg Oden
Mike Conley
Daequan Cook
Jamil Tucker (could be the next verbal to the 2006 class)
Luke Harangody
Thaddeus Young
Josh Chichester
Raymar Morgan
Kosta Koufus
O.J. Mayo
Bill Walker
Keenan Ellis
Lance Thomas
Dallas Lauderdale
DeJuan Pursley
Aaron Pogue
Eric Gordon
Yancey Gates
B.J. Mullens

Why would a company pay a guy playing in Europe to endorse their product? Do you think that today's attention-span-deficient youth will remember someone from a year ago? I mean, will they want to buy shoes endorsed by a guy from the Lichenstein Warriors? I don't see the value, no matter how good he is. Out of sight, out of mind (no truer than today)

At the ABCD camp this week......After one day...Mayo is leading the camp in scoring at 19.0 points a game.....he was asked about his future and he said he is considering the NBDL...college...prep school....or taking a year off. Arizona, North Carolina, Duke, Cincinnati, Louisville, Kentucky and West Virginia are some of the schools he is interested in at this point.

At this point, the only thing I will say is that the chances of him attending college are slim at best.
