I had read that Conley, Sr. was in China a week ago, with the Chicago Olympic 2016 delegation, and that after he returned Oden would sign with him. But I don't know if that has happened yet.

What is to think about? Being the #1 pick? He'd be crazy not to enter the draft.

Transition game: Oden's mentor becomes partner Representing a top NBA pick is great, but rookie agent says ties go deeper By Jeff Rabjohns and Mark Alesia Mike Conley Sr., a former Olympic gold medalist in the triple jump, has made the leap. He sounds like an agent. He's selling Greg Oden. Mike Conley Sr. ? Age: 44. Title: Owner, chief executive, MAC Management Group. As an athlete: Three-time Olympian; 1992 gold medalist and 1984 silver medalist in the triple jump; nine-time NCAA champion at the University of Arkansas; ranked No. 1 in the world six times; won state track and basketball titles at Chicago Luther South. As an executive: Is executive director of World Sport Chicago, a group aiming to land the 2016 Olympics for Chicago; spent seven years as executive director of Elite Athlete Programs for USA Track & Field, where he oversaw the agent program and wrote the agent handbook; established the Professional Athletics Association for track and field athletes. Hobbies: Coached summer basketball teams to six AAU national titles and two Reebok Big Time titles; has a second-degree black belt in taekwondo. "He's Shaq but shoots free throws," Conley said. "He has close to a 40-inch vertical jump. You've never seen anyone like him. You can't label him like Dwight Howard or like Shaq. Both of them are great, but he's neither one. He's a new kind of athlete." To Conley, Oden isn't just a virtual family member. He's a marketing brand.

While Greg may not attend all of his classes every day, he will finish the quarter. He has too much character to do that to OSU and Matta and he will finish the quarter.

Heard him on the espin show that replaced Cold Pizza yesterday being interviewed by Jay Crawford. He proved some of the dolts (Dana Jacobsen in particular) wrong when Crawford asked GO who should be drafted first by responding that it depended on the teams need. If they needed defense and rebounding then maybe him else KDurant can do so many things the team should take him. Probably a rather poor job of paraphrasing, but it once again showed Gregs humility. What a great kid, he'll always be a Buckeye to me.
