The Dispatch reported that Oden, Conley Jr. and Cook are meeting this weekend to discuss their future. The players will meet with Mike Conley, Sr., who is a registered agent and will likely represent the players when they decide to enter the draft. Oden is easily a #1 pick, but there has been some talk that he might stay another year. Conley Jr. practically guaranteed that he was returning, when asked during the Final Four, but now that he is possibly a top-ten pick, he is reconsidering his options. Cook's stock is down, after struggling at the end of the season to hit shots and to get playing minutes.
My predictions:
I don't follow the NBA, but I feel as though I can make a prediction. I am only 55% sure Oden is coming back (compared to the 0% for most experts.) I am 75% sure Conley Jr. is coming back. I am 90% sure Cook is coming back. Even if the players declare for the draft, Conley Sr. said he won't force them to sign with him as an agent, that allows them to change their mind (in a small window of time) and return to OSU.
Expect an announcement in the middle or end of next week.
