now that is what you call pathetic.
They just don't know how to deal with recruiting battles like we do. Our epic football recruiting battles really have taught us how to deal with this, they just have no clue.
so true...and never more evident...Piney said:I've revived an old scout ID for me awaiting to get approved. Heck, I just want to go over there and actually just talk with them now.
I am actually starting to feel sorry for them.

bertt, go back and read what Greg has said. Over and over, he has put IU at the top of his list. He did it twice on ESPN alone. If you look at how he described the schools, IU is the most positive. One has to think that this conversation with Mike Davis could actually help Wake's chances, if Oden does attend college. Coach Davis knows who he is recruiting against and there are a lot more negative things that can be said about Ohio State, the apparent leader. In any event, the chances of him attending Indiana are very slim and it cannot hurt for Oden to hear another voice expressing concern about the current state of OSU's program. I don't think Davis (or any recruiter) would talk negative about another program. Its always much better to build your own program up. If a kid has true interest in another program, and you talk negative about that program, you are more than likely going to turn him off your own. I agree that its much better to focus on the positives of your own program and not use dirty tactics, but that being said, please ask Conley and Oden what Matta has had to say about Prosser.

I take it this is the article to which these tools are referring. Perhaps rjkarl ought to go read the article again, because his comments are a bit off-base with what's contained in the article.May 20, 2005
Oden's IU visit unofficial for now

Greg Oden, the most coveted high school basketball recruit in the country, took an unofficial visit to Indiana University on Thursday evening to meet with Hoosiers coach Mike Davis.
I'm just going down for the night," Oden said as he and his coach at Lawrence North High School, Jack Keefer, made the drive to Bloomington. "I've still got my options open. I'm just coming down here, seeing what another college is like."
A high school player is allowed five official visits, and Oden has taken two, to Wake Forest and Ohio State.
"I think this might be the last one," he said.
The other schools on his final four list are IU and Michigan State.
The 7-foot junior center could extend this visit to the weekend and make it an official visit, or he could take another one later.
Oden is familiar with the IU campus. He's attended Midnight Madness and some practices and games at Assembly Hall.
He said he hasn't had any extensive conversations with Davis.
"We talk when I see him. I haven't talked to him on the phone," Oden said. "I know him just like any other coach, but he's a good guy."College coaches are prohibited by NCAA rules from commenting about players they are recruiting.
no idiot, Oden is going pro, Conley is going to be a Deac and that jerk Cook who went behind their backs and went to O$U will be stuck in the Big Ten where their fans don't know anything about basketball.BuckeyeFROMscUM said:

morons. Oden is scared of the NBA. He, Conley, and Cook are all going to Wake and Kevin Garnett is going to retire and sue the NCAA to regain his college eligibility so he can play with them at WFU
