From LATimes.com:
Mayo, a 6-foot-5 guard who averaged 20.7 points a game, said that he had signed with agent Calvin Andrews, who also represents Carmelo Anthony of the Denver Nuggets.
USC Coach Tim Floyd was not at the news conference, but he said last week, "We are appreciative of everything O.J. did for all of us the year he was with us. We wish him well. I have no doubt that he will be a great professional."
Mayo met with Floyd after the Trojans were eliminated by Kansas State in the first round of the NCAA tournament and huddled with family members in West Virginia last week.
He said he decided to turn pro "to secure my family. That's the most important thing for me right now."
Mayo said that he had no regrets about his decision to attend USC and that he would complete the spring semester, a move that will prevent the Trojans from losing a scholarship next season.
Wish O.J. the best of luck from here on out. Can't knock a guy for wanting to take care of his family. For selfish reasons, I hope he goes to Memphis or New York since they have nice jerseys. Not sure if I'd support O.J.'s jersey sales if he went to Minnesota or Clippers ;-).
