March 14, 200620 yr QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Mar 13, 2006 -> 10:58 PM) DJ White will not be the best big man in the big 10 next year. Gregory Oden. Yeup. It won't even be close.
March 14, 200620 yr It'll be interesting to see what he does when he's finally playing people closer to his size.

He has dominated every big man he has played against throughout his high school career. He plays against guys his size during AAU and at the summer camps and dominated every big man in his class. The guy would be start for quite a few NBA teams next year, he is going to be a dominant force at the college level. Edited March 14, 200620 yr by whitesoxfan99

March 14, 200620 yr He'll dominate next year and go pro, but the other 4 guys in that class are going to be kicking people's ass for a few years.

March 14, 200620 yr Could anyone explain to me the whole "Bobo"/Greg Oden story? I have heard it referenced many times by blogs and articles, but I still dont understand the story.
March 14, 200620 yr QUOTE(Brian @ Mar 14, 2006 -> 03:41 PM) Oden and Conley will be the best freshmen in the nation next season. i am not as sold on conley as i am on oden. conley will be a nice player, no doubt. i am not sure he will start, though, and i'm not sure he's better than fellow recruit daequan cook.

Conley shouldnt even start next year IMO. He will fill in, and should benefit from the talent around him.

March 14, 200620 yr Oden and Conley will be the best freshmen in the nation next season. Don't go quite that far. Oden, yes. But Conley is the 4th best PG in his class right now behind Tywon Lawson, Sherron Collins, and Javaris Crittendon. But Conley is the perfect PG to play with the OSU team, he's an un-assuming leader on the floor that can hit a 3 when needed.
March 14, 200620 yr They've got a lot of guys that are out of eligibility on this OSU team, otherwise they might be the pre-season #1 going into next season. The only guys back are Lewis and Butler. That means Cook is probably another freshmen starter.

OSU is graduating 12 players, and that does not include their starting PG.
March 14, 200620 yr There's going to be some nasty teams next year. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the Big 12 will be the best conference in America next year. Texas and Kansas have a real good chance of being in the top 5. Nebraska and Oklahoma will be decent. Texas Tech and Texas A&M will be tourney teams. Oklahoma State could be as well. Missouri and Iowa State will be tourney contenders. Colorado should be above .500 as well. I don't see a weak link in the entire league, as Baylor is getting in some very good recruits last year and this coming year.

March 14, 200620 yr I'll still take UNC and Kansas over Ohio State next year. Hansbrough should be preseason player of the year.
