Oden is a consensus 4* prospect who checks in comfortably within the to 200 of three of the four outlets, as well as both composites. All four outlets have him nestled in the top 250. Among our database, Oden clocks in 30th out of 73 corners since 1990. If you want to classify Oden as a safety (which may be smarter based on what the scouting says), he would check in as 21st out of 54. As for the measurements, everyone agrees he's in the neighborhood of being a shade over six feet and between 185 and 195 lbs. Nothing too exciting there. 

[AFTER THE JUMP: A rock solid four star]

Michigan got a commitment tonight from the best DB in the state.

Oden's listed as a safety or athlete to the sites, but Michigan might also like him as a nickel or cornerback. He's got a lot of length, a lot of speed, and a lot of skills since his dad, a former Michigan walk-on fullback, is the coach Harper Woods.

Alex has a writeup that'll go tomorrow.
