On Tuesday afternoon when O.J. Mayo met with the media at Heritage Hall he said that he intended to return for a second year of college unless he was guaranteed to become a lottery pick in the NBA draft -- a proposition that for now is considered likely.
"Right now, I plan on staying more than one year unless my situation changes and I have an opportunity to make a living for my family," Mayo said. "Right now, I'm focusing on my education, and I'm hoping next year if I do return -- which I plan on -- I'd like to go into business management and real estate investments."

Robert Mitchell, a 6-foot-6 forward who was the Atlantic 10 rookie of the year last season, has left Duquesne's basketball team and plans to transfer to another school.
One of a dozen new players brought in by Dukes coach Ron Everhart last season, Mitchell averaged 16.4 points and 5.1 rebounds as a freshman on a team that finished 10-19. He was chosen as the Atlantic 10's rookie of the week five times and was only the second player in school history to be selected as the conference's top first-year player. He was the ninth leading scorer among NCAA Division I freshmen last season.
