Will Greg Oden go pro in the 2007 NBA Draft?

[BuckeyeTillIDie]

I bet all I had that he's going.

Everyone seems to want to come and go from tOSU as fast as possible.

However, it's a win-win for me if he decides to come back.


ps - I lied, it's not a win-win. I'll be crushed if he leaves

On the basis of pure wishful thinking, I am all in on Greg staying for next season.

 

[OSU_Buckguy]

i'd like to go all-in that oden could come back for next season. bb73, could you please add that betting option?

I could add that tomorrow, but the betting will be closed by then.

I say gone.

How many 18 year old kids turn down that kind of temptation?

This kid is a rock-solid lock to be the #1 pick in the NBA Draft and sign a huge shoe deal. His initial NBA contract is going to net him probably around $25-30 mil- all guaranteed money. If he blows out the knee and can never play again before he even starts a game, that money is still owed to him. Bogut's contract was worth $26 mil, have to think Oden will get around $30mil. Throw in a $20-50 mil shoe deal and the kid is looking at having his networth jump to probably less than $5,000.00 to instantly more than $30 million.

He's only human. How many of you would turn that down and make yourself wait another year? What if he got seriously injured playing for OSU this year? Bye-bye to the big bucks. Yeah, I'm sure he's got an insurance policy, but that will only pay-out a few million which is a hell of a lot don't get me wrong, but peanuts compared to what he could get by signing a shoe deal and #1 pick money.

Has anyone tried to get DrewZwick to talk to Greg? I'm sure he would stay if we could only get someone to talk to him and tell him how much we need him.

Still looking for Greg's e-mail address.

Why is the betting closed?

Why is the betting closed?

OK I reopened it to close tonight at 6, unless BB had a reason, thought it may have just been a mistake.

I picked that time since it's the start of the rally - thinking it was possible there would be an announcement this evening.

It was closed earlier today, so I reopened it to close at 6.

You should put some vCash on that.

Maybe I will.....:p

 

[BB73]

Maybe I will.....:p

After this, you'll either be at the top of the heap, or down in the dumps (no longer on vEasy Street).
