OJ Mayo...You Decide

For all you SC basketball sports fans, I'm sure you have heard of this already, but for those who haven't, here is the story.

OJ Mayo, regarded as the best high school basketball player in the nation who plays at Huntington High School in West Virginia, signed a letter of intent to play for the Trojans next year.

A few weeks ago, he played in a game where he was called for a technical foul for taunting the opposing team's player, and then thrown out of the game for making contact with the referee and knocking him down.

Check out the video of him knocking the referee down

After much debate, the majority of people in the basketball world do not believe Mayo intentionally touched the referee...however, a few days ago he was sentenced to serve a three game suspension for the incident. (The article)

Either way, the Trojan fans should be excited for next season with the addition of Mayo, who is a highlight reel in himself! The future looks bright!
