April 13, 200719 yr I wonder if Thad wanted to get these kids out so he has rooms for the class that he has coming, and so on and so forth. I think this class was once-in-a-lifetime. I really liked Conley. Bucks were a couple of scholarships light last season anyway. Won't be a problem if they stay.
April 13, 200719 yr tOSU has signed a 5 star blue chip center for the 06, 07, and 08 class. Thats pretty amazing right there.
April 13, 200719 yr I guess I am echoing what everyone else has said, but I just can't understand a guy leaving (Cook) that was hardly even noticeable when he was on the floor. I keep thinking some of these kids and their parents will learn from the mistakes of those who went before them, but then again, people never cease to amaze me.

Sounds somewhat similar to the Randolph Morriss situation at UK. He was a kid who had he been allowed to may have opted for the NBA out of High School. But, I do agree, I don't thing he is quite ready. I also believe Oden would do well to get one more season under his belt, but you can't improve on being the number one pick. And, since the rookie salary is pre-determined he really has no reason to stay unless he just wants to stay in school.

Oden's defense alone can imrove just about any NBA team right now, and being either the #1 or #2 pick sure can't hurt his pockets any.
April 13, 200719 yr This says Oden and Conley are still undecided... http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaab/news?slug=ap-ohiost-oden&prov=ap&type=lgns Oops. Didn't see Scarface had already posted it.
April 13, 200719 yr Perfect post. Conley is going way out on a limb, point guards are rarely successful in leaving this early (Cook, Bassy, etc.). Cook will be in the NBDL.... What about Jason Kidd, Chris Paul, and Derron Williams? I think every position has some hits and misses. If he's a top 10 pick and the number 1 PG in the draft why stay if Oden leaves?

April 13, 200719 yr Did they all hire agents? Could they come back if not drafted? Only if they faxed something...Tubby could help them inthat department.
