Recently, Greg Oden's father announced that his son will turn pro this year. According to reports, Mike Conley Sr., the man who hopes to eventually be Greg Oden's agent, said that although Oden may very well enter the NBA, nothing is finalized. Mr. Conley downplayed Greg Oden's father's comments, stating, "I talk to (Greg's) mother every day, and I talk to (Ohio State coach) Thad Matta every day, and if Thad Matta and his mother and I don't know, then how can anyone else know?"
This statement seems extremely presumptuous. Greg Oden, along with his mother and father, and probably his college coach, have the biggest influence on Greg Oden's future. But Mr. Conley seems to take priority over Greg Oden's father when he asks "...if Thad Matta and his mother and I don't know, then how can anyone else know?" Is it that hard to imagine family members deciding things before potential agents get involved? this is a non-story...a hopeful agent, denying claims, yet conceding it may happen
