I'm going to make a prediction. Wishful thinking, perhaps, but I'm going to bet that when the season starts in mid/late November (more than five full months after the surgery), Oden and the coaching staff will feel confident that he's well enough to play. They'll probably take it easy on him for the first few games - maybe put a twenty minute cap on his game time - but come 9pm, Nov. 29...something tells me he'll be out in full force for that little contest.

Dispatch
7/19
Oden could join team in future
Wednesday, July 19, 2006
Ohio State-bound center Greg Oden has been invited to attend USA Basketball’s training sessions in Las Vegas with an eye toward joining the team for either 2007 (if there is an Olympic qualifier) or for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.
Oden, an 18-year-old 7-footer, will attend the training for a couple of days but will not actively participate in practices. Oden underwent surgery on a torn ligament in his right wrist June 16 and is not expected to be playing until late fall.
"We feel badly that Greg will not be able to train with the team this summer, but he has huge potential and will be a valuable player for the United States in the future," U.S. coach Mike Krzyzewski.
Former Ohio State guard Michael Redd, now an NBA All-Star for the Milwaukee Bucks, will be one of 24 roster players at the camp but will miss the FIBA World Championships because he is getting married.

OSU recruit's debut delayed
Wrist surgery might sideline Greg Oden until early January
By Brian Windhorst
Beacon Journal sportswriter
LAS VEGAS - Ohio State knows it is probably getting highly touted center Greg Oden for just one season. Now appears it will be half that.
Speaking publicly for the first time since having major wrist surgery a month ago, Oden said he wasn't sure if he'd be back in time for the start of the Big Ten season in January.
``It will probably be in January sometime; I hope I can be back then by Big Ten season,'' Oden said at Team USA's first practice Wednesday at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas. ``But you never know. That's the doctor's call, not my call.''
There were some reports projecting Oden's return in December so he could play in some of what is expected to be a loaded Buckeyes' nonconference schedule. Nearly five weeks after having a clamp and a screw inserted into his right wrist to repair a torn tendon, Oden isn't optimistic that will be the case.
``It is very disappointing, but you want to be healthy and you have to look at the long run,'' Oden said. ``I had to get this surgery as soon as possible.''
The national prep player of the year, Oden won't be able to play for Team USA in next month's World Championships, but USA Basketball invited him to observe the process with the expectation he will be part of the Olympic team in 2008.
Watching, though, has left him pining for when he can join the Buckeyes.
``This injury is hurting me,'' he said. ``But when I come back, it is going to hurt other people, too, because I'm going to be ready.''
