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

I've never heard of this happening at any other school.

I'll admit to the man crush I have on Jim Tressel right now.:!

Are there two other coaches from the same school that just "get it" like Matta and Tressel do at Ohio State. I love the way that they go out of their ways to support each other and are openly vocal about their friendship. Never let either of them leave. NEVER.

Oden to leave OSU, enter NBA draft

Mike Conley Jr., Oden?s longtime teammate on AAU and high school teams before joining the Buckeyes, will also enter his name in the draft, but he is not expected to sign with an agent.

IMO smart move by Conley... he can still pull out if his stock isn't as high as some indicate.

Is it wrong to root for a buckeye to lose hype?

I was afraid these threads (Oden, Cook, and Conley) were going to go all Wake Forest. Good to see they haven't.

FWIW.....believe what you want. I spoke to Mike earlier this week and he said that all 3 would be entering the draft and all represented by his father. Mike had every intention of returning until fiding out how high his draft status actually was. Oden wished to return and was close to returning but once he realized Mike wasn't coming back he declared for the draft. Cook was gone from the get go. Once again, believe what you want but don't bash me for reporting what I heard from Mike's mouth.

Any team that gets MC Jr is going to INSTANTLY be better. I honestly think he could start in his first year.

Breaking news... I just talked to the three guys yesterday afternoon. After we sat down, weighing the pros and cons, all three will be entering the NBA Draft. They said they'd miss me as a friend during the season, but they would come back in the summer to hang out with me and to play in the Worthington Summer league. Sorry for the bad news.

I've been a Pistons "fan"(don't really watch the NBA much anymore) since I was a little kid. Them getting Mike might make me watch more than two or three games next year. Doubt it actually happens though.

Conley is the top PG on the board, projected to go top-10... detroit will have to do some serious dealing to make a play at conley.
