He made a bad name for himself way before this happened IMO, but this one tops it all. This is a sad situation for such a promising player.

They said the same thing when randy Moss came out of rand west virginia,,,too much trouble and he will be in the pen before he gets the chance to make it.I think the same thing about Mayo.Everything blown way out of proportion.

he is a trouble some asset to any team and cannot seem to follow the rules, he did not hit a ref i agree with tht, but he has to understand that he is not above the rules or LAW. The school needs to put a suspension on him or punich him in a way it hurts him the most and he learns not to do this again.

Got close enough that it looked like it.

you should be your kids' role model Arby...and OJ mayo is alot bigger in high school than Kevin Durant and Greg Oden were...I remember Kevin Durant coming to east ridge as a freshman and no one had heard of him. I heard of OJ Mayo when he was in 8th grade.

I think OJ problem is he has no guidance. He has been raised by his mom and stepdad and that guy is an idiot. I have been around the family a lot over the past couple years coaching against him at Rose Hill and at North College Hill. Maybe OJ is just planning on trying out for the Bengals so he is getting an early start on his criminal record.

MAYO IS A THUG.....anybody that even tries to take up for him is BLIND. i do not believe he hit a ref, but he carried a gun, got caught wit weed, always in trouble at school, always in trouble in society. OJ Mayo is a great basketball player but he is not going to make it anywhere if he keeps this up. Such a wasted talent

It sounds like OJ is at the same time
a fairly decent kid, a kid in need of
some guidance, a kid in need of listening
to some guidance, a kid hanging out at
least a little in "gangsta rap" type culture.
All these things at once. When the "fifteen
minutes of fame" comes so early, it is often
the case that the spotlight is too bright for
the decision making abilities of youth. I
wonder if superstar athletes sort of internalize
that there are two sets of rules, then a police
officer is often the one who disabuses them of
that notion.

I watched the story as soon as it broke on WSAZ and from what they said, he did NOT have the pot on him.... he was in a vehicle that was pulled over and it was in it. None of the other passengers (including OJ) didn't claim the pot so they charged them all. It was not in his pockets, in his coat, in his bag, or on him at all. He is a young kid who many (including the press and himself) have brought the spotlight too and EVERYTHING he does, the communities are made aware of. If this had been any other player we would have probably never even heard about it. I'm not saying he isn't guilty.... I'm just saying that he evidently is a kid who does decently in school in order to keep playing, does outstandingly in basketball and will more than likely have a free ride to his choice of college..... He needs to keep his head on straight and walk the right path if he wants to be in the "spotlight" for the right reasons!!!

Sounds to me like a typical teenage screw up. I have teenage kids and if you think that all of them are angels then you are sadly mistaken. As others have said he is just scrutinized more because of the media.
How many of us did stupid stuff like this when we were younger? I would venture to guess quite a few.
How many got caught? Probably several.
How many made the news? I would say very few because we were just average kids and didn't warrant a news article about our screw ups.
