If you haven't caught the past two podcasts from dragonscast.com with Major/Elgin and Rodney, I would highly recommend them. A great look behind the curtains as to what goes on in college basketball and into the minds of the players.
From any William & Mary fans happening by you can listen about how close he was to being a part of the Tribe. Jack Whitman was decent, but I think Rodney on last year's team may have pushed them over the top.
Other nuggets from Rodney's interview:
- reference to other schools putting out feelers after Bru got fired. He doesn't rat anyone out but it shows that stuff happens, just as with the grad transfer guys.
- Shaka Smart ghosting him after initial interest from VCU (I kind of wish they would have asked him about Khris Lane who came in with him, took a step down to make good at Long and now has joined VCU)
- thoughts about going pro and how Samme helped him get his spot in Israel
- His high outlook on this year's team. Like Major, he talks up Tramaine Isabell. He also gives a good outlook on Jarvis Doles stepping in to fill his shoes. He also state though that he had a vision of last-to-first for last year's team - so I guess you've got to take it with a grain of salt.
