+1 - Guys game reminds me a lot of D-Wade's. NOT SAYING HE'LL BE D-WADE GOOD - but there are definite similarities in his skill set.

Arm sleeve? Given where it is he will need one of Brey's mock turtlenecks.

Another solid recruiting class. It will be interesting to see where Mayo ends up in the final rankings. He has got to be a top 50 recruit based on what he has done this year with Notre Dame Prep.

By Adam Finkelstein, ESPN Recruiting

Todd Mayo had been claiming for months that he intended to make a commitment before or during the National Prep Championships, but when his Notre Dame Prep team fell in Wednesday's final to St. Thomas More, Mayo still hadn't mad up his mind.

On Friday, however, the 6-foot-3, 190-pound shooting guard finally made his decision and committed to Marquette.

"I've had a long year here at Notre Dame Prep, and while some schools are picking up interest now, Marquette has been loyal to me the entire time," Mayo said. "Their whole staff has seen me play and they all feel like I'm a great fit for the Marquette family."

An older article, but some good background on the young man...

http://www.commercialappeal.com/news/2009/feb/06/double-shot/

Quote

Four tattoos -- two on his left arm, two on his right -- offer some insight into his unique circumstances. One reads, "It's Not the Name, It's the Game," which is self-explanatory. Another shows the digits "304," the area code for his hometown of Huntington, W.Va. Another reads, "Love Is Pain," which he explains as a sort of philosophy: The effort he puts into honing his skills are a way of honoring the game he loves. And the fourth reads, "Through the Rain."

"It's, like, struggle," he said as he rubbed the ink with his fingertips.

(don't know about the WV one...)

Quote

He had a 36-inch vertical leap and could run the 40-yard dash in 4.3 seconds

Ledo de-committed from Providence...

On another note: Should we be concerned that other fanbases might haze Todd Mayo due to his association with OJ Mayo...and some of the allegations around the OJ Mayo recruitment. I know Chicos had some concerns about this...is anyone else feeling squirmish??

Nope

All that matters to me is that he plays hard, is productive, and has no issues off the court.

Screw what all fans may chant from the crowd.

I'm sure Todd knows all about being hazed from watching his older brother. And I'm pretty sure he couldn't care less about what people (are going to) say, if anything at all.

Heck, I wouldn't put it past most fanbases we play (who would actually haze a kid for his older brother's actions) to not even make the association between the two. The Big East (and the University of Wi-Circus) isn't exactly a bunch of Jay-Bilas'-Hoops-Encyclopedia-types.

Looks a lot like Buycks in a couple of the videos...hopefully has a better handle and B.B.I.Q.

Mayo's got a better stroke than Buycks and is more explosive.

Most importantly, is he smarter?

Fantastic news, I think Mayo is the ideal fit for Marquette. Saw the confirmation on his Twitter: "I'm going to Marquette, gonna be a Eagle next year." Glad he skipped the UCF and Baylor visits, this is a nice recruiting win for Buzz.

Could be some pretty competitive pick up games at the Al in a couple of summers.

Wes, Jerel, Lazar, Novak, OJ Mayo...and of course the MU players.

MU vs NBA?

He hasn't been updated in awhile...after the season he put up at Notre Dame prep...he's probably a Top 50 caliber player
