Actually thats what he said he wanted to do his agent said this earlier this year. " I pray to god that O.J. Mayo never sets foot on a college basketball court. " He will go to the NBDL he doesn't want to go to school anymore..

Seems like OSU verbal Mike Conley got the best of him in a head to head matchup.

Conley's big game
The anticipation heading into Saturday morning was the spotlight matchup of the nation's best and best-known players: Oden vs. Mayo.
Though Oden is a center and Mayo is a guard, the top-ranked players in each of the next two classes create a buzz anytime they share the court.
When the game was over, the chatter was all about Conley outplaying Mayo.
Though the two have played against each other many times, this was the first time the two went head-to-head at the point guard position. Conley finished with a game-high 15 points on 5-for-9 shooting as his Sonics beat Mayo's 76ers 74-66.
Mayo had nine points, making just 3-of-13 shots. Conley and Mayo guarded each other during the two quarters their groups were on the floor.
"It was fun," Conley said. "I like competition and he likes competition, so we were bumping heads."
Conley was a defensive star all week in a setting when most players focus on offense. In addition to holding Mayo to nine points, Conley held Oklahoma recruit Scottie Reynolds to one point, Willie Kemp to two points, and Edwin Rios scoreless. Reynolds and Kemp are among the top point guards in the 2006 class and Rios is in the 2007 class.
