Conley's father, Mike Conley, Sr., is an NBA agent.Buckeyes coach Thad Matta plans on talking with the trio next week."If guys go, I'm going to be happy for them," Matta said. "Money's one thing. Memories are another. A lot of people would rather have great memories."</div>http://www.nbcsports.com/cbk/1350909/detail.html?dest=rss|
Man, if Conley enters...it makes the draft that much more exciting. Daequan Cook could be making a big mistake considering how he fell off as the season went on....if he stayed a couple more years in school he would probably be better off for it in the longterm. But it's another talented guy in the draft.
