AP: Oden to enter draft

[sportschick]

I know we had a long-ass thread earlier, but I'm too damned lazy to look it up.

The Associated Press
BC-APNewsAlert,0029
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio State freshman Greg Oden will enter the NBA draft, a family friend says.

Hammer Pants hopes that is a solid source, a family friend says.

Not seeing it on the wire.

Andy Katz has it too over on ESPN.com, FWIW.

Says Conley JR and Cook in too.

It's called:
t0411 BC-BKC-Oden-NBA
If that helps

What? He's tired of getting into foul trouble in the first five minutes of games? Oh, and the money.

I saw it on Sportsline hours before this thread ... I'm sure neither AP nor ESPN will credit Gary Parrish.

 

[Fenian_Bastard]

He already looks good in green.

God bless whoever taught Fenian how to post pics. Bravo, sir. Bravo.

Considering someone on the Journalism board says Foxsports.com had it a half hour before sportsline, I'd say nobody's going to be crediting him.

OMFG, when I do a SportsJournalists.com search for Oden it says "You may have meant to search for Ogden."

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

The Indy Star had it Sunday. And the blurb on the bottom of ESPN just now said Oden, Conley, and Cook will all declare for the draft Friday.

So who is the preseason No. 1 next year?

I say UNC.

 

[HejiraHenry]

Unless he gets to take the championship game referees with him, he could have a looong rookie season.

Not a frequent visitor to Foxsports.com, so kudos to Jeff Goodman.

Probably.
