SAN ANTONIO ? Greg Oden's life journey seems almost predetermined. Anthony Oden is just starting to find his way.
Greg is a freshman at Ohio State, a 7-foot, 280-pound basketball player called the best American big man in a generation. He probably will be the No. 1 NBA draft pick whenever he leaves college.

Cont...

Powell said Anthony has a football scholarship offer from Kansas. Basketball offers might come after a successful ACT score.

Film:

My Take: RAW. Very raw but massive potential. Most clips showed him at TE...I'd project him more at tackle. Obviously a long frame with great wingspan and shows flashes of excellent feet. He is at the beginning of his journey and has a very tempting upside. However, this is not a good year at tOSU to be a project.

.......unless it convinces Greg to stay another year (or three)

It might be self-evident, but did the Oden family move to Ohio? Interesting if true.

Yes

Assuming this move was to be closer to Greg and not because of a job situation-it doesn't seem that a family would move to be closer to someone for only 1 year (really less than that).

gray shirt? or some sort of late enroller?

I think we should invest a scholarship in this kid. He seems to have all the tools that are needed to become a monster DT or a Jonathan Ogden-like Offensive Lineman.

 

[Colvinnl]

Is it illegal to trade an extra year of his brother for a scholarship? :)

 

[BGriffBuckeye]

Well, if Greg does leave early, a greyshirt is a definite possability as money certainly will not be an issue with him.

Especially considering what the family has already done for the future of Ohio State athletics, basketball in particular.

Whats the latest with Anthony? If Kroger doesn't go to OSU, does he have a chance of picking up an offer?
