    Greg has his own blog now!! Yardbarker: Greg Oden's Blog:

  2. C Greg Oden (All B1G, All-American, Defensive Player of the Year, Butler Assistant Coach)

    I always love the references to "sources close to..." and "after speaking to confidantes ... " -- to say that Greg was relieved by a small market is not true. His personal choice would have been Atlanta - not exactly small. Of the teams with the best chance to win the lottery, he liked Boston...

  3. C Greg Oden (All B1G, All-American, Defensive Player of the Year, Butler Assistant Coach)

    Well I had a very serious cry -- that is the first time Greg has opened up publicly about the impact my nephew's death had on him -- very tough for us to watch, but I can tell you it is all from his heart.

  4. C Greg Oden (All B1G, All-American, Defensive Player of the Year, Butler Assistant Coach)

    FYI -- Sunday Conversation on Sportscenter this Sunday will be with Greg -- I think it will be this Sunday anyway as he did the interview this afternoon.

  5. C Greg Oden (All B1G, All-American, Defensive Player of the Year, Butler Assistant Coach)

    While Greg may not attend all of his classes every day, he will finish the quarter. He has too much character to do that to OSU and Matta and he will finish the quarter.

  6. C Greg Oden (All B1G, All-American, Defensive Player of the Year, Butler Assistant Coach)

    He has signed with Mike Sr.

  7. PG Mike Conley (1st Team All BIG, NBA All-Star, Oscar Winner, Minnesota Timberwolves)

    FWIW -- I heard Conley Sr. on ESPN Radio Friday with Doug Gottlieb -- Gottlieb asked what Mike Jr. needed to hear to stay in the draft (top 10, 15, etc). Mike Sr. said he really was not looking for a specific place in the draft and said flat out "He's going." Not much chance he will withdraw the...

  8. Cook, Conley, and Oden

    I don't know Mike well, but I think he is completely gone. I think he probably has a pretty good idea he will be a top 10-15 pick. I know very little about Cook's situation.

  9. Cook, Conley, and Oden

    I don't know who the sources are, but I will say they are good ones.

  10. C Greg Oden (All B1G, All-American, Defensive Player of the Year, Butler Assistant Coach)

    I am curious as to what training Greg would need to do for the draft -- it's not like he is going to any of the pre-draft camps or anything. Greg will continue to go to school regardless and plans to get his degree.

  11. C Greg Oden (All B1G, All-American, Defensive Player of the Year, Butler Assistant Coach)

    I wanted to share this from the Baltimore Sun. It does the best job I have seen of explaining how close Travis and Greg's relationship really was. www.baltimoresun.com/sports/bal-sp.maese31mar31,0,1473929.column?coll=bal-sports-columnists

  12. PG Mike Conley (1st Team All BIG, NBA All-Star, Oscar Winner, Minnesota Timberwolves)

    Conley does not "run the show" --- these two are more independent than you think. Comments like that imply that Greg does not think for himself, which I can assure you he does. Yes, they are close friends, but one does not make decisions for the other. Greg is a much more introverted, quiet...

  13. Thad Matta (OSU's All Time Winningest Coach & 3x B1G COY, Butler HC)

    I can tell you without a doubt that Greg and Mike are making independent decisions in this one -- not that they won"t come to the same decision but they are thinking independently. If they both decide to go, they won't be playing together next year any way -- they each have individual...

  14. C Greg Oden (All B1G, All-American, Defensive Player of the Year, Butler Assistant Coach)

    Dad lives in Buffalo -- he and Greg talk regularly and Greg visits him a couple of times a year. And he and Greg's mom want what is best for Greg -- period.

  15. C Greg Oden (All B1G, All-American, Defensive Player of the Year, Butler Assistant Coach)

    Again -- BS speculation from people who do not know what is going on. Greg is making his own decision and his dad is not pressuring him. His dad actually claimed he did not tell the newspaper that Greg was leaving. All the rumors will hopefully be put to rest this week.
