Oden, Conley entering NBA Draft

Ohio State freshman center Greg Oden will be hiring an agent and entering the NBA Draft, the Associated Press is reporting. Teammates Mike Conley Jr. and Daequan Cook will also declare for the draft but will not hire agents, meaning they can still return to school if they're not selected. Oden's not a surprise, Conley and Cook kind of are. I think Conley will go; I'm real high on the kid, but I figured he'd go higher next season.

Re: Oden, Conley entering NBA Draft

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!. Not Conley too. I knew Oden was going, but I was hoping conley would help the Buckeyes on another run. They did a lot of it without Oden this year while he was hurt or on the bench. I guess Matta will have to find another Thad-5.

Ohio State Freshman Trio Declares For 2007 NBA Draft

After a memorable run in this year's NCAA Tournament, The Ohio State University's freshman trio of Greg Oden, Mike Conley Jr. and Daequan Cook have decided to pursue their goals of playing at the professional level and are announcing that they will enter this year's NBA Draft.

For Oden, a 2007 AP First Team All-American and projected No. 1 pick in this year's NBA Draft, the decision was anything but a given despite being the most sought-after big-man prospect in years.

"This is a very tough decision for me," Oden said. "I love OSU and love being a Buckeye, but I also have a great opportunity to take my game to the next level and compete with the best players in the world. I've discussed this with family, friends and Coach (Thad) Matta, and I feel the time is right."

Conley, a First Team All-Big Ten selection and a 2006 McDonald's High School All-American, has been projected by many to be the best point guard available in a deep 2007 draft class.

"This has been an extremely exciting and challenging process for me," said Conley. "It is my life-long dream to play in the NBA. I would like to personally thank Coach Matta and his staff for allowing me the opportunity to play for a great university, rich in history and tradition. I would like to also thank my teammates and the great Buckeye fans for all their support throughout the season."

Were they there long enough to learn about the history and tradition

Re: Oden, Conley entering NBA Draft

Time to pay the college boys some...If they were getting a cut of the college sports pie, perhaps players would stay longer.
