From everything I've heard this guy is going to be one of the greats of the game. Was looking forward to seeing some footage of him for a while and so I had a look on youtube and found a few nice clips so thought I'd post em up on here for you guys to check em out too. All American Game:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCYVQlg2NUQGoes about 5 mins, some nice background info on him in interviews and also some nice swats and dunks in the game as well. Mixed highlights:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPsvqFUoHd8This one goes for about 2 mins and shows some mixed highlights. Seems like any shot comes his way and he's throwing it back. Looks like a giant out there, can see this guy being a very good centre in the NBA!

He is definitely gonna be the real deal. He's not only a superb athlete, he's also humble and a hard worker to boot! Regardless of whether or not the age limit was in effect, I think he would have gone to school to better his game. He truly feels like he wouldn't have been ready to play in the NBA though I'm sure most people would think otherwise. I wish him all the best in the future.

"imgonnagityousuckah"He is definitely gonna be the real deal. He's not only a superb athlete, he's also humble and a hard worker to boot! Yeah from everything I've read and heard, and now seen, he sounds like a player with a huge amount of potential and maintains a level head despite the hype and that is so rare these days. I could see him becoming one of my favourite players if his game can match his attitude at the pro level

It's a good thing he's not eligible for this year's draft or it wouldn't be as exciting, because he'd be the runaway #1 pick. I wonder how he feels about the new rule and having to go to school, and how it will affect his play at Ohio State.

I wonder if he will stay in college more than one year or will turn pro as soon as he's eligible? Even though he's so big he moves so quick and really has some hops by the look of those dunks. Gigantic arms too! just swats away dude's jumpshots without hardly having to jump!!

From everything I've heard, he's one and done, and he'll definitely be in the draft as soon as he's eligible. You can't blame him since he's going to be the consensus #1 pick.

here's another Greg Oden mix, some real nice plays in this one that weren't in the other vids too. He looks like he's gonna be an awesome shot blocker in the NBA. The guys so damn huge! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSD_67PAO0Q

Yea! It's been quite a long while since we've had a new dominant 7 footer in the league. Hakeem Olajuwon, David Robinson, Patrick Ewing are all history now. Since then, its been Shaq all the way. I wont count Tim Duncan because he's as much a PF as a C. Consider this for the next generation of big men: Greg Oden vs Amare Stoudemire (if he overcomes his microfracture) vs Dwight Howard
