O.J. Mayo, a nomadic basketball celebrity since middle school, officially transferred to his third high school yesterday when he enrolled in his hometown Huntington (W.Va.) High School. That's the same school attended by Patrick Patterson, a heralded prospect believed to be high on Kentucky's recruiting wish list.
Mayo, even more heralded than Patterson, scratched Kentucky from his college list several years ago. That raised a logical question: Could Mayo dissuade Patterson from signing with UK?
Patterson's mother emphatically shot down that possibility.
The chances of Mayo influencing her son's college choice were "none, zero," Tywanna Patterson said. "They will not go to college together or be on the same team. That won't happen. ... I don't think they have that much rapport."
