Why is Greg Oden in town?

[JoyDivision]

He just checked in at Carnell.

Will somebody inform Pelphrey that Oden has already turned pro. No sense in trying to get the guy to transfer. I'm just trying to help with his recruiting.

I think it's part of a secret conspiracy.  Heath paid Oden beaucoup money to transfer to Arkansas, all Sooner-style (NBA would be a pay cut), and in exchange, he got Frank to agree to rehire him (press conference tonight).  Frank did this because he misses the old days of the SWC, and the whole hire-coach-to-sign-the-player concept Frank pioneered almost worked with Malzhan, so try, try again...  Anyhow, with Oden in hand, Heath will qualify for his third-straight NCAAT game next season (alas, it will again be a disappointing loss...).  Heath, though, has a double cross planned; he's planning to parley the publicity of Razorback Oden into a job in the Big-10, then leave the Hogs high and dry next season to try and hire Altman again.  Shssssh, it's a secret; don't tell anybody.
