I was not a fan of the JJ hire but was not completely disappointed especially when he brought Bryant Stith on board.

I am not disappointed wiht the X's and O's as some on here on. I have seen JJ open up the offense a bit more now that he has some better offensive players.

A clinic was put on last Saturday. My gut tells me that is not an X's and O's thing as much as it was the quality of the players. Granted, I do think we just didn't want it as much but that is not a regular occurrence out of ODU players so I will accept that as an anomaly.

This leads me to believe it is just a recruiting issue. We have seen some definite improvement in this area. Could it be better? Yes and frankly that is where we can help the most... We can all be more vocal at the games, encourage those around us to, make it a maniacal atmosphere when recruits come to the Ted. Writing silly customer complaints to the AD with no financial backing is really only useful for your own venting. If you feel better after doing it, write on my friend.

JJ's not being fired and I don't think he deserves to be either. Would I love for us to be a consistent Top 50 program? Yes, this year and for the past 33 years of being a fan. But I also realize how hard it must be to create a team like that year in and year out as a mid major. I would sincerely like to see what he can do over the next year or so...
