Today is signing day for college basketball, which used to mean the day that the top players picked what college they were going to if they did not jump straight to the NBA. Now that the NBA changed the eligibility rule before the 2006 draft, a player must wait until one year after their high school class has graduated before they are eligible for the draft. Greg Oden, the top freshman player in college basketball and a likely top 3 pick last year had the rule not been changed, is happy to be playing college basketball for Ohio State. Oden says he wants to stay in school and experience college life, but something tells me he will be happy with the experience he gains during this year in Columbus, and he will end up being a top 3 pick in next year’s draft.
