O.J. Mayo, the nation's top high school basketball player, told USA TODAY on Monday that he'll transfer to Huntington High of West Virginia, in the city where he grew up.

Mayo said he will be in class Tuesday after transferring for his senior season from North College Hill in Cincinnati, making it three schools in four years.

Mayo did not want comment on his reasons for the move, but said, "It's exciting to go home, but it's sad leaving North College Hill. I consider Cincinnati a second home."

Huntington already returns three Division I-caliber players, most notably power forward Patrick Patterson, whose college suitors include Florida, Kentucky, Duke, Virginia and Wake Forest.
