Plenty to see when Buckeyes stop here



April 7, 2006 BY MICHAEL O'BRIEN Staff Reporter




The future of college basketball will be on display Sunday afternoon in the Roundball Classic at the United Center. Four members of Ohio State's highly publicized recruiting class, dubbed the "Thad Five,'' are playing in the game.

"It's as impressive a recruiting contingent as I've ever seen in the history of the Roundball game,'' talent scout Bob Gibbons said.

Mike Conley, from Indianapolis Lawrence North, and Daequan Cook, from Dayton, Ohio, are two of the best guards in the country. David Lighty is a spectacular 6-5 forward from Cleveland, and the jewel of the class is Greg Oden, Lawrence North's 7-foot center.

"There aren't enough adjectives to describe Oden,'' Gibbons said. "I rate him as the best big man I've seen since Lew Alcindor.''

Oden's last trip to Chicago was a success. He led Lawrence North to a victory over Glenbrook North in front of a capacity crowd at Welsh-Ryan Arena.

"Oden is unbelievable,'' said former Virginia and Providence coach Pete Gillen, who will do color commentary for the CSTV telecast of the game. "I can't think of anyone like him in the past 15 years. He's so athletic, and he's a winner.''

All four Ohio State recruits will play for the West team.

"It's the most remarkable featured team I've ever seen in an all-star game,'' Gibbons said.

"[Roundball founder] Sonny [Vaccaro] is the best when it comes to his matchups.''

Marshall guard Patrick Beverley, one of the top unsigned players in the country, joins the Ohio State recruits on the West team.

Former Farragut guard Chris Singletary, who spent his senior season playing for Florida Prep, will play for the East.

Singletary recently decommitted from Missouri after coach Quin Snyder left.

The East team has plenty of size to use against Oden. Proviso East center Brian Carlwell is the tallest at 6-11. The East also has three 6-10 players: Curtis Kelly (New York), Alex Stepheson (Los Angeles) and Perry Stevenson (Lafayette, La.).

Derrick Caracter (Fanwood, N.J.), Darrell Arthur (Dallas) and Earl Clark (Rahway, N.J.) all stand 6-9.

"It's a great experience for these kids, the culmination of their high school careers,'' Gillen said. "They get a chance to play on national television, and it's great promotion for college basketball.''

Tickets for the Roundball Classic are still available. Visit the United Center ticket office, call Ticketmaster at (312) 559-1212 or visit

Vitale compared oden to being another ewing and I halfly disagree with that.

Size wise yes but, Oden has that size with Kevin Garnett/david robinson athletics now and he's only 17

which is going to be fun to watch in the future

Vitale doesn't show OSU love like he does all the other top programs

I loved how Digger talked OSU up BIG TIME all the time during the NCAA work he did.

Please stop posting stuff like this. I have a lot of work to do and it is no good for one's concentration. There's a lot of BPers that could be without jobs as a result!!!

Just bloody imagine this class. Wow!
