Freshman guard O.J. Mayo said after the game that as of right now, he intends to return next season, but note the words, “so far.” in his quotes.
“So far, I’ll be back next year. Classes-wise I’m scheduling for summer school in the next two weeks. So far, I’ll be returning.”
Mayo was asked what would cause him to change his mind?
“I don’t know. I think it’s kind of selfish to worry about what I’m going to do next year. We had a great win
here against Stanford and we’re trying to get ready for the Pac-10 Tournament.”
Just like with USC football players who consider leaving early, I always caution people to wait until after the season to see what a player thinks. This was a comment in the euphoria of the victory.
