Greg Oden will live in infamy as the Portland Trail Blazers -- and arguably the NBA's -- all-time biggest draft bust. But he still has a loyal following at Ohio State, where he helped lead the Buckeyes to the 2007 national championship game.

Now, Oden reportedly is returning to Columbus to work toward finishing his degree and act as a manager on the basketball team.

The #scoops just keep coming, folks: MULTIPLE SAUCES tell me Greg Oden will join OSU bball team as a "manager" while he finishes his degree. — Mark Titus (@clubtrillion) April 12, 2016

He's essentially just going to practice w/ the team and dunk all over OSU bigs. But still - he's technically joining the manager fraternity. — Mark Titus (@clubtrillion) April 12, 2016

Titus was a former walk-on at Ohio State and a good friend of Oden. He is also a college basketball writer. A post confirming Oden's return to Ohio State appeared on elevenwarriors.com, a website devoted to Ohio State Buckeyes sports.

The Trail Blazers selected Oden with the No. 1 overall pick of the 2007 NBA Draft. A series of knee injuries and surgeries derailed his career. Oden last played for the Jiangsu Dragons of the Chinese Basketball Association, but he left the team after it was eliminated from the playoffs in February.
