If Greg Oden wants to turn pro his agent is waiting.

With all the talk today about Texas star Kevin Durant and whether he will enter the NBA draft after the NCAA Tournament is concluded, there has been an interesting development on the Greg Oden front.

No not the hard foul Oden committed that the entire media is all over like flies on shit. If the "no call" were called, it would have surely sealed a long bus trip from Lexington back to Columbus ending their season. But we all know what happened instead, a missed Xavier free throw, a clutch three pointer, The Mike Conley, Jr show in OT, and an Ohio State win.

This news comes from Indianapolis, Oden's hometown, where Mike Conley, Sr. has decided to start his own firm Mac Management Group, and by the sounds of it is planning on representing Oden and his son Mike Conley, Jr. if and when they enter themselves in the NBA Draft. He's known Oden since he was in sixth grade and coached him in AAU basketball in Indy.

“I just need to start putting things in place, not knowing what any of the guys are going to do,” Conley Sr. said today. “They’re definitely going to do something this year or next, so if I’m going to do it, I need to put myself in the position to be ready when the time comes.”

Regardless if Ohio State advances any further in the NCAA Tournament, it appears that Conley, Sr. is making sure that he's the guy to represent both the OSU stars, when that day comes. However it should be noted that apparently he didn't start this firm to suggest that Oden is going pro. What on earth would make us think that?
