The photo was added from my personal collection.

Folks - The photo that was deleted from this file in March of Mayo is from my own persoanal collectin. AKA - I took the picture. Therefore, how do I do this - "Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload." I dont know what that means. --Mikeinclifton 23:24, 11 August 2006 (UTC)mikeinclifton

[edit] Source for school changes ?

What is your source for changing the school list for Mayo from WVU and Wake to Duke and UNC?

I removed all individual school listings, since he has not publicly spoken about any schools lately.

• Good call. I added the rumoured schools in the first place, but there is just way too much speculation right now. The latest buzz around his hometown is that he, Walker, and Bob Huggins will show up at Marshall University, but who knows? Youngamerican 00:20, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Real Age

I believe there is some controversy regarding his real age and rumours of him being held back a year. Can anyone confirm this? (Brodey)

Yes. I'm very confident in his listed birthdate as the Louisville Courier Journal questioned it a few years ago as well and sent someone to the courthouse in his hometown to get a copy of his birth certificate. Nov 5, 1987

OJ mayo WILL BE 19 when he graduates.... and thus can still go staight to the NBA right? this article states to the contrary

[edit] NPOV

The line in the first paragraph "He is thought by many to be the best high school basketball player in the United States" may need to be removed, or an authority cited. rhmoore 22:54, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

I toned down the language and added two decent sources. youngamerican (talk) 15:51, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
