Yup, I agree with you on the contents of the article. He will join the squad and be on the team but we will have to wait and see if the NCAA gives their approval for him to PLAY this season. I have no actual insight and the folks who claim to have knowledge seem pretty divided on whether or not he will see the floor this year. Fingers crossed.

I messaged ODAF and they indicated it’s uncertain if he will be able to play next year. But they said the coaching staff are working on it.

Yep, and I did the same with Ed Miller and he gave me the same answer. My bad.

WHich is the size of Carver (listed) and Ezikpe. Reece is taller, but skinny. How many CUSA teams have an actual legitimate backup center?

My aspirations for ODU aren't limited to merely being competitive in CUSA, losing out in the tournament, then going home till next season. In order to do better than that and not have all your hopes tied up in winning the conference tournament, ODU will have to do well against teams not in CUSA to build a resume. It isn't all about who is in CUSA and hoping ODU has enough size to match up in Jeff's man-to-man.

Most of the guys you listed are going to be true freshmen next season and on top of that, forward is their natural position. Besides that even Carver is only 6'-7" and a natural forward at that.

Sorry you don't see the importance of the two new centers Jeff just brought in. Apparently Jeff as well as several posters on this board see it.

Let me ask you a straight up question. Hypothetically, assume Dickens sits out this season and Robinson is lost for the year after the 2nd game of the season to injury. Without beating around the bush and doing some double talk .....

* Give us your prediction on what ODU's conference record would end up being, and where ODU would finish in CUSA - i.e. 1st, 2nd, etc.

* Tell us what post season tournament you think ODU would end up playing in.

Without Robinson and Dickens top 3, hopefully an NIT. With Robinson conference final, possibility of NCAA. With R and D NCAA.
Wade is going to be really good.
Godwin major upswing look for multiple 20+ games. I see next year like year 2 with JJ but without the late season stumbles with very good senior leadership

Thank god for the the ignore button. Easy to see why He flunked out of ODU twice

Currently holds about a dozen offers, mostly from schools in the NE. This is a position we have a need, currently have Wade (FR), Kithcart (Soph) and Brill a soph walk-on.
