While I understand what you said about the eligiblity situation, you have an A - B transfer that was ok but then you have a B-C transfer without a change of residence. When you look in the by-laws, sections 11, 12, and 13 go a little deeper than the general statement on the student flyer. I do not disagree with your statement, I just believe it goes deeper and there is an issue. I hate it for kid if there is a problem. Did he receive bad advice? Of course any advice would then be in violation of section 17, the R word....

 

 

 

There could very well be a deeper issue. Of course, now we're getting into things like in Section 17.....what defines "undue influence "............

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WHBQ FOX13 myfoxmemphis.com) --

 

 

When the Grizzlies traded for O.J. Mayo on draft day, the Memphis area got a two for one deal. O.J.'s little brother Todd Mayo has joined his brother in Memphis and he's expected to be a standout at Houston High School this year.

 

For Todd Mayo, joining his family in Memphis was a win-win situation. He has the opportunity to help a struggling team and has a better chance of drawing the attention of Coach Cal. Todd Mayo says he hopes to become a Memphis Tiger after high school.

 

He's just 17, but the Houston High School junior already knows what he wants to do in life. Todd Mayo wants to follow in the footsteps of big brother O.J. Mayo, the standout rookie with the Memphis Grizzlies.

 

But he looks at his brother, and wants to be even better.

 

"It's just motivation," said Todd. "I look at it like motivation. Everytime I work out, I think of him. It's motivation."

 

When his brother was traded to Memphis on draft night, Todd had to make a decision. His mother, father and little sister were following O.J. to Memphis.

 

"I didn't want my family here in Memphis alone," he said. "I like watching out for my family a little bit."

 

When Todd decided to move from West Virginia, he spent a lot of time researching Memphis area high schools, before finally deciding on Houston High in Germantown.

 

"I chose them because I hear they had some problems last year with the team," he said. "So I think I can come in and help them."

 

Last year, the Houston varsity basketball team went 7-21.

It's a team similar to the one he played for last year, South Point High School in West Virginia.

 

"South Point was the same way," he said. "They weren't known for basketball and I helped the program go 20-0. It's just a great challenge."

 

It was that competitive spirit and attitude that immediately jumped out to Houston's varsity basketball coach.

 

"Todd's the type of kid, he's looking for a challenge," said Josh Cathey, Houston coach. "He doesn't want to play against bad competition. He wants to play against the best we have to offer."

 

Houston's competitive schedule and room for improvement is another reason Todd chose the school.

 

He wants to catch the eye of University of Memphis basketball coach John Calipari.

 

"That's my top college," he said. "I want to go to Memphis. I hope he sees me. I like Memphis. That's one of the reason's I chose to come up here."

 

Mayo said he hopes to have a leadership role when the season starts in November. Last year, the point guard averaged 24 points a game.
