Teams Want To Schedule Game Vs. O.J. Mayo's New School

ESPN - he transfer of high school basketball phenom O.J. Mayo from Ohio to his hometown has prompted an onslaught of scheduling queries from other schools, ESPN is reporting.

The 6-foot-5 Mayo, ranked by several prep publications as the nation's top senior, transferred to Huntington High last week from Cincinnati's North College Hill High.

Huntington has one vacancy on its 2006-07 schedule. Coach Lloyd McGuffin spent much of the summer trying to fill the vacancy against good competition without success because of scheduling conflicts.

With Mayo now in school, McGuffin has been besieged with requests.

"We want to play the best teams in the country," McGuffin said. "We're not going to put the pressure on ourselves that we need to go undefeated. We just want to play the best competition.

"We want the people around here to get a chance to see some of the best teams and players in the country playing against one another."

Mayo was a two-time Associated Press Mr. Basketball for Ohio and was tournament MVP of this summer's national champion AAU 17-and-under team. He averaged 28.8 points per game last season.

I agree. When you continue to play weak teams, your game usually goes down. Just because you don't have to play hard.

Pretty funny that teams are jumping to get a game against them because of one player. Surely he can't be THAT good?
