Mike Conley Sr. (apparently to be Oden's agent), and, I believe, coach of their AAU team, didn't care for Mike Davis (can you blame him?) at IU and passed it along to his son who passed it along to Oden.

Anyone else but Davis at IU and Oden stays home.

Yes conley committed but he was not a stud in high school, why would ohio state go after him, ah yes, because oden was his best friend. Conley crapped himself when ohio state offered him a scholorship and accepted it right away, guess how many other big time programs were looking at him..... Oden had always said he wanted conley to be with him when he went to college. Now, I'm not a basketball coach but if i have a top recruit that said he'd love to play with a high school teamate, i would go out of my way to sign him as early as possible. Ohio state recruited conley to get to oden. Not the other way around.
