Ohio State Buckeyes: Mayes leaving OSU hoops program

Word out of Columbus is that junior guard Sylvester Mayes is leaving the Ohio State men's basketball program. A reserver guard during the 200-5-2006 season, speculation is that Mayes did not like the idea of being a role player again in 2006-2007 with the Buckeyes' big-name recruiting class coming to town. So far there has been no mention of possible schools that Mayes is looking at transferring to.

So let the speculation begin. Mayes is from Fort Wayne, Indiana, and the Buckeyes have had several players in the past who have trasferred out of the OSU basketball program to local schools. Charles Macon (Central Michigan), Damon Stringer (Cleveland State), John Sanderson and Shaun Stonerook (both Ohio) have all transferred out of the Ohio State program in years past; could Mayes be the next?
