Gred Oden has Arrived!

[Double Play Ball]

A nice suprise early return by the 2 time high school player of the year.

Oden fueled the Buckeyes to a 20 point win over Valparaiso, soring 14 pointsm grabbing 10 boards and swatting 5 shots, in just 23 minutes

Yeah sounds like he played pretty well- they could be good this year if he keeps it up

No doubt he's going to be a good player. I wish he could have come back a game earlier so he could have played against UNC.

Ohio State is going to have a very good year with or without him, but having him in there is a definite plus.

The kid's crazy good. I think he's the next KG. Dominant in the middle, but capable of knocking down the J too. I wouldn't be surprised if he propels OSU to the Nat'l Championship, though it would require him to consistently perform which is rare for a freshman.

Enjoy it while it lasts....He's one and done to the NBA.

Exactly the problem. This is their big shot at the title with him because he's gone after this year and will def be a first rounder.

Probably #1 overall. Would have been this year if not for the new age limit. He looks like he's about 30 instead of 19.

KG? He's David Robinson v2.0

Agreed. He's more like David Robinson than KG.

Yep. The guy reminds me of Patrick Ewing.
