While everyone else is still discussing Oden's hard foul against Xavier, Mike Conley Sr., father of the Buckeye freshman point guard, has filed paperwork to create his own agency.
The firm, Mac Management Group, looks to draw on the Thad Five as early clients, but Conley Sr. stressed that this action should not be seen as an indication that Oden has made up his mind about leaving early yet:
“I just need to start putting things in place, not knowing what any of the guys are going to do. 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.â€
I'm trying not to read too far into this, but it can't be a good sign for those of us with dreams of Block O running the court again for the Buckeyes next season.
