Here's some news that's certain to come as a shock to all: CBS Sports is reporting that USC freshman guard O.J. Mayo has decided to enter the NBA draft.
Mayo plans to hire an agent, which will eliminate the prospect of his return to college basketball.
According to CBS Sportsline's Gary Parrish:
"The freshman guard (Mayo) signaled his intentions by wearing socks with the NBA logo in USC's 80-67 loss to Kansas State in the first round of the NCAA tournament.
Mayo, who some say never met a shot that he didn't take, averaged 20.7 points, and set USC records for points scored by a freshman (684) and for 3-pointers made in a season (88).
USC coach Tim Floyd told the AP:
"This comes as no surprise. 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."

Damn. I was looking forward to watching O.J. and Lil Romeo team up in the Trojans backcourt and take it to the rest of tha Pac 10, on tha real.
Tja, soon we can all soon expect O.J. Mayo to waltz the Vienna Opera Ball with a stunning dame. Perhaps be shall be inclined to grace the presence of Austrian skier Kathrin Zettel. His swift moves on the court will transfer to the sheer elegence of the dancefloor.
Screw USC. Mayo's swift moves on the court won't transfer to sheer elegance on the dance floor, and he won't waltz the Vienna Opera Ball with Kathrin Zettel.
But he will probably rot away playing for Minnesota or for the Clippers -- until he gets thrown in jail and/or punches out/runs off his coach.
But he'll probably get shot by Pac Man Jones or Tank Johnson in some strip club before the season even starts.
Throw yo handz up in tha air, throw yo handz up in tha air!!!!
Hell yeah, bro!!!!!!!
I hope tha Knicks get O.J. Mayo, kidd!!
Put him in there with Steph and Jamal Crawford, yo!!

Butler Bob be doin them disco slide better than them hollywood silicon sunshine professional programs be playin them student games.
Butler students be studyin goin in them steep el and be doin them square dancin. Tonight I be takin Ethel be goin down to them VFW where we gonna boogy to them popcorn song.
Booooooooooooo Diigggeetty
Them ladies be lovin Butler Bob takin over them dancefloor. Bertha Jenny be dancin with Steemer. Steemer be playin Jacks over at the house.
We speculated that Mayo would go pro. This move comes as no surprise. USC has ramped up their recruiting efforts. USC is benefitted by The new 1 minimum gap year between college and pros.
Now I've got to go to my "village" to be saved by my "steep el."
Sonny Boy, you be a sinnin fool makin a mockery of them butler bob and them churchin ways. one day you be needin to be visitin them steep el and you be thinkin about what butler bob be sayin when them shark be eatin away at them sinnin wacky tobaccy surfer. Uh huh. Uh huh. You be needin them steep el and you ne needin to meet real students like at Butler who be learnin and aint be sittin at them beach doin nuthin. Uh huh. Uh huh. You be needin to read them bible and be learnin about them sinnin ways. perhaps you been inhalin too much of them surfbored wax.
