Still, no one believes Oden will go to college – not even those recruiting him.

Keefer said Oden tells college coaches that he wants to be an accountant. Of course, each coach's response must be: Someday you might want to hire an accountant, not be one.

"They act surprised when I tell them that, because they'll say, 'All my players hate math,'" Oden said.

What is it about math that Oden finds so challenging?

"Not much, and that's why I like it so much," he added.

The center's number-crunching fetish hasn't escaped his buddy's notice.

"Yeah, we tease him all the time," Conley Jr. said. "Whose favorite subject is math? I mean, nobody that we can really name."

AND THEN...

This could add up to be a well rounded class for tOSU. Who else could count on two math wizzes dividing the post? Applying the associative property of recruiting, it doesn't matter which players we add first as long as they all get added in turn. If we get them all, then Matta will need to apply the distributive property to obtain an even dispersion which should ensure our program functions above the mean (indeed in the top percentile) for the forseable future. Sure these could be imaginary irrational numbers with no correlation to reality, but they could be real numbers based on the theory of Thad's Algorithm. There are a lot of variables to factor in, but I'm liking our odds. Q.E.D.
