44820 you think think Conleys recruitment ends sooner rather than later. Do you think our chances have improved over your 55% ? Would be incredible to land conley. If Conley verbals then I love the odd's of the big Fella playing college ball @  w/ his boys!! Even if he played just a year @ can you imagine what type of "schott in the arm" it would be for Matta & recruiting! This would put us in a position to eat @ the big table w/ the big boys!!! Great, great job w/ the hopps info 44820. I check it every day !! |

That doesn't sound too encouraging. It's great to be on his list, but we're kind of listed as a side-note to the other two schools. It almost makes me wonder if Wake has the inside track to Oden and Conley.

From who? What's wrong with Mike Davis?

gsnuts....I am hearing that his recruitment will wrap up either way in the next few weeks. I like our chances right now, we have the last visit with Oden and Conley and I think this is key. Distance is a factor here boys.
If Matta and Co were able to land both of these guys, the impact to the program would be huge. It would put OSU back in the national picture in basketball in a hurry.

Yertle....the scoop is that Oden really wants to play with Conley at the next level and I think we have the inside track on Conley in my opinion. I think that is the key to landing Oden. Everyone is assuming that Wake and Indiana are his top two, but I think we are sitting pretty good with Oden and Matta has made an impression on him in a very short period of time. Don't forget about Cook and the impact he can have on this situation.
We will find out a lot about this situation in the next month or so.

Forty of the top AAU teams across the country will make the pilgrimage to Fayetteville, Ark. for the first ever Real Deal on the Hill. Including Spice Indy Heat Team that includes Oden, Conley and Cook.

How do the recent defections from the NCAA affect Odens decision? Bogut leaving has to give him the number one pick doesn't it? Most of UNC's team is leaving or really considering it. Paul left from Wake. Bracey Wright left form IU. All that and graduation too; where would Oden go in the draft now? I think we may definitely see him in college for a year.

He has been considered the #1 pick for the NBA for 2006 for awhile. Recently he has stated he wanted to go to college, but the money will be tempting. We will have to see how this plays out. It wouldn't suprise me to see him go to college for a year. The wildcard is the proposed NBA age limitation in the new CBA that is coming up.

By Dave Telep National Recruiting Director

The Real Deal on the Hill, in its first year as a major national tournament, is really loaded. From Wayne Ellington to Thaddeus Young, this weekend in Fayetteville should be a special one.
</TD></TR><TR><TD colSpan=3>
A quick look at the pools for The Real Deal on the Hill reveals some monster matchups. How about a Saturday afternoon tussle between Greg Oden’s Spiece Indy Heat and Mike Beasley’s D.C. Assault? Folks, that’s in pool play!
Scout.com will be in Fayetteville on the campus of the University of Arkansas for the event. We’ll cover some of the marquee matchups and delve into the top players and surprise performers from what is sure to be one of the finest AAU weekends of the calendar year.
Among the highly celebrated players in attendance:
Greg Oden, Spiece Indy Heat (Scout.com No. 1)
Darrell Arthur, Team Texas (No. 4)
Wayne Ellington, Playaz (No. 6)
Thaddeus Young, Memphis Pump ‘n Run (No. 7)
Daequan Cook, Spiece Indy Heat (No. 8)
Derrick Caracter, NY Panthers (No. 10)
Gerald Henderson, Playaz (No. 12)
Lance Thomas, New Heights (No. 13)
Mike Conley, Spiece Indy Heat (No. 19)
Brook Lopez, EBO (No. 23)
<LI>Jon Scheyer, Illinois Warriors (No. 24)
That’s nearly half of Scout.com’s Top 25 congregated together for one event! Did we mention the young kids?
2007 standouts like Michael Beasley (Scout.com No. 2), Eric Gordon (No. 6), Nolan Smith (No. 7) plus Michigan Hurricanes teammates Darquavis Tucker (No. 20) and Alex Legion (No. 19) will be on the premises. This is one of those weekends where the stars will need to play like big timers each time out or someone is going to bump them from their spot. Games tip-off at 8 p.m. on Friday. The event has an official site but ScoutHoops.com will be there to bring you all the action. Plus, Scout.com West Coast analysts Tracy Pierson and Greg Hicks will be out in Las Vegas where the action should be just as hot!
