While a large portion of Ohio continues to reel from star baller OJ Mayo’s transfer this week to a high school in West Virginia, the first thing we want to know: What does this do to his college plans?

The kid – for the uninitiated, he’s the latest high school It-Boy; a can’t-miss talent destined for greatness – has been taking visits to USC, so clearly, there is more than a kernel of truth about the news earlier this summer that Tim Floyd and Southern Cal were locking the kid up.

The folks at Kansas State, who thought Mayo would don the hideous purple when rules-bending specialist Bob Huggins turned up in Manhattan, don’t seem too torn up that Mayo’s latest list doesn’t include the Wildcats.

That all-important list includes: Southern Cal, Florida, West Virginia, Marshall, North Carolina, and Connecticut. He threw in Kansas State for good measure, but later admitted it wasn’t one of his top choices.

Wait, Marshall?
