Oden, Conley, Lighty and fellow incoming freshman Daequan Cook played on the same team for the first time Sunday in the Roundball Classic all-star game in Chicago. The fifth starter was 6-foot-9 forward Lance Thomas of Newark, N.J., who just happens to be one of two top-10 prospects for 2006 who have yet to sign with a school.
Word out of Chicago was that the four future Buckeyes goodnaturedly tried to influence Thomas to cast his lot with them, even though he had been considering Ohio State.
A recruiting source said that now there is mutual interest between OSU and Thomas. Duke, Rutgers and Florida also are in the picture, which could clear by this weekend.
The spring signing period began Wednesday and ends May 17.
