The future stars


A pair of Buckeyes who are worthy of the hype

By SchoolSports.com
Greg Oden

Here's a piece of advice: Save this photo of Greg Oden. And not just because the Lawrence North (Indianapolis) senior is going to be the best center in the NBA someday, but because this is a view of him most people aren't likely to get. After all, there aren't many chances to look down on a 7-footer who towers over the competition -- both literally and metaphorically. Unless you've been living in a cave the past few years, chances are you know the deal with Oden by now: game-changing shot-swatter, glass-cleaning rebounder and rim-rattling dunker who'll be the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft whenever he decides to conclude his college career at Ohio State. And the scary part is, he still has room for improvement. Guess the future really is looking up for Oden.
Chris Wells

Big Ten football is all about power. Strong running games are the norm in the conference, and the soft need not apply. So it shouldn't be any surprise that Garfield (Akron, Ohio) running back Chris Wells signed with Ohio State, where he'll join Oden as a freshman stud next year. The 6-foot-2, 228-pound Wells, who is rated the nation's top running back in the class of 2006 by SchoolSports.com, packs a tremendous combo of power and speed. As a senior he ran for 2,134 yards and 27 touchdowns and was named MVP of the U.S. Army All-American Bowl. With Wells and stud tailback Antonio Pittman, Ohio State could have its own version of "Thunder and Lightning," a la USC's Reggie Bush and LenDale White. Bush and White accounted for a Heisman and two national titles in college -- and the future could hold the same for Wells and the Buckeyes.

Yep. On a side note, I spoke with Beanie at OSU camp for a little bit while we were waiting for the lightning to let up and he is a beast. We already knew that but above all he is just a very intelligent person and very level-headed. He talked with me like he had known me his whole life. Same with Ashton Youboty, Gonzo, and Troy Smith. All great people.

They were at the camp?

Dang man, you are lucky. When I went last year(I went to the 1st session) there wasn't any players there. Atleast from what I saw.

Yeah actually the weight room was in the back corner of the Woody Hayes Center and players were in there forever. It's amazing how long they spend in the weight room and doing all of their other workouts.

Bro, if you want to be the best you need to do more than the next guy. There is always someone out there who will want to be better than you so you better "outwork" that son of a bitch!
