Good article, hope he does well also. Didn't know all the details of what he's been through. It sounds like OSU is treating him well, but this to me is one of the big benefits of going to IU over most other schools: the doors it leaves open and resources available that come with being a bball star at IU. I've lived in Cbus and I have no doubt he can walk around campus unrecognized. There's also little way for him to profit off being a Buckeye bballer, unless he can catch on with the coaching staff or broadcast team. Whereas IU would still offer a former star lots of endorsement opps, business/alumni contacts, opps for camps, etc... Oden's situation is a great example for why this might be important on down the road.
