O.J. Mayo - Will he stay, or will he go? - Sports Forum - Baseball, Football, Basketball and Off Topic Discussion Forums

Do you think Mayo is going to stick around at USC for at least another year, or will he enter this year's NBA Draft?

My friends, and I were talking about this last night. We know he said that he wants to leave his mark at USC (he obviously hasn't done it yet, especially with only one season under his belt), but will he actually live up to his word?

Thoughts?

Not a chance in hell he stays. Nobody with the hype that he has ever stays. NOBODY. He will take the money. And who can blame him?

Yep I agree he's going to go to the NBA as a top 5 pick. He is one of those players like Gilbert Arenas who is a shoot first type point guard. In his prime I see him to be a player that averages like 24/7/4./1.5

i dont know....he had a good season at USC but i think he should stay one more year and learn how to dominate...i know this year was "the year of the freshman" and 9 out of 10 of the good freshman will enter the draft...i just think mayo SHOULD stay...along with gordon, and rose.....but when you see those $$$$$$ in front of you it is tempting...so i think that they will all go pro...you cant turn down millions..

I'm not sure if he'll be drafted in the Top 5, but definitely Top 10.

Picks 1-3 are going to Beasley, Rose, and Brook Lopez.

He's going to declare for the draft, and hire an agent very soon.

Well, that didn't last too long.

This is a really, really deep class this year. This class might even be more deeper than the 2003,1996 and 1984 classes.

the odd thing is, its a deep class of freshman...i mean usually there is a handful of freshman that come out and become 1st rounders.....but i think almost 35% of the first round this year will be freshman....thats unreal

Im thinking somewhere between 10-15....
