CINCINNATI - Fifteen-year-old O.J. Mayo, who already is being compared with Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary prep sensation LeBron James, has enrolled in school at suburban North College Hill.
Mayo, a 6-foot-5, eighth-grade point guard, withdrew from Rose Hill Christian in Ashland, Ky., last week. His family has established residence in North College Hill, officials said Monday.
Playing on the high school varsity at Rose Hill, Mayo averaged 23.1 points as a seventh-grader and 20.5 points last fall.
A teammate, 6-5 eighth-grader Bill Walker, transferred from Rose Hill to North College Hill's middle school two months ago.
North College Hill has an enrollment of about 450 students and plays in Ohio's second-smallest class, Division III.
