For the money spend on recruiting in 2019, we were terrible, considering there were 800 transfers available and several hundred of post grads, that were available. That sounds very unreal for a team in the C-USA (or maybe not). With all the money spent, we end up with a slow Greek who didn't play last year, a transfer from Clemson ( only because his mother got fired from HC of the women's team), two guards that look good on paper, but I belief in the NCAA coaches, as only about two schools went after them. Time will tell, if they were so good why didn't many other teams recruit them. It now appears this coaching staff does not have the salesmanship, to convince good freshmen to come to ODU. I think recruiting has got so tough, that only a named young coach can bring ODU back to Mid Level. Paying JMU 70K and UMES 80K to come here, is really an eye sore. Their are many teams that went to the NCAA tourney and were in leagues lower than ODU. For years now, I am sick of hearing nobody will play us. Last year's recruiting only showed one player that might have potential. I look to see what we do, without BJ & Caver. In the next season, we will see easy games. I am tired of seeing us play the same soft teams (OCC) we play every year. There is major concern, why the ODAF is losing many members.
It also seems, that the recruiting chart that ODU has, always shows recruits for ODU, are going to lower level schools. Both programs (Football & Basketball) are already losing their thin base.

Razor?
