Don’t look for Bassey to improve his offensive game much next yearr with Stansbury and staff. Odds are he will still be a second rounder

They also brought in a couple transfers to steal playing time.

FWIW:

Daigne- 7 minutes per game
Ohmer- 11 minutes per game
Banton- 15 minutes per game
Smith- 10 minutes per game

I really wouldn't consider them major contributors outside of Banton. The total group averaged less than 9 points per game between the 4 of them.

Oh excuse me. I’ll be sure to look it up next time smh

I agree with Mac, we should start a thread about ODU recruiting. This is getting friggin ridiculous.

It would be empty. There's nothing to talk about.

Anything around 2019 transfers or recruiting for us, our rival or conference mates is fair game. Get over it. I want to hear what everyone is doing!

We are in the running for a transfer big man...that's really all I know... don't know his name or his school...we are up against 2 other schools...don't know them either...all I know is we have offered a transfer big man and hope he accepts?????

Thank god! It may not be much, but thank you for actual ODU recruiting news!

Hope our guys are ready to ball when we see VCU. They just signed #60 player in the 2019 class.

FCK them lol

ECU has 11 new recruits in the class of 2019!!! A handful of Jucos... obviously. Some good ones as well. That’s amazing. Maybe they can put together a ball club. I’ve always been amazed at how terrible that program really is. Can’t remember the last time they were any good at all. They’ve been the worst program in the AAC. They sucked in CUSA and they weren’t very good in the CAA either.

The recruit I think is the biggest steal out of the 11 and maybe that holds the key to our success next year is Bitumba Baruti and only ECU and ODU offered him.

https://247sports.com/college/east-carol...130717385/

He is a 6-7, 225lb, wing, former Washington player, that averaged 12ppg and 6rpg and shot 38% from 3 for in only 20 minutes a game for JUCO powerhouse Chipola. I don't know if you guys were even aware of him . We had a former coach at Washington on our staff now which probably helped.

Quansah the 7' commit seems highly underrated too and it was also basically only our two staffs offering on as well.

"Towering at 6-foot-11, it’s perplexing to try and figure out why Village Christian’s big man doesn’t have more recruitment at the moment. He’s a high-level rim-protector with ridiculous length and incredible instincts around the basket. " ....."Without question, you cannot teach his blend of size, length and athleticism"

It's 2 of the more baffling prospects to me as to why these guys weren't on any other teams radars with the kind of size and athleticism both have for their positions especially considering their production for a good JUCO / 5+ block HS guy.

Well, summer is almost here. 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.

LOL

Is it Wade or Ezikpe that shows promise?

I just glanced at the user name and thought it was blubyu or whatever first....and I was alarmed at the post...then I realized who it really was and immediately felt better.

Sometimes unpopular opinions are worth the read. Not today.

A little out there, yes. But we can’t give away a scholarship. We have also lost out to some schools that we should not have. So yes, we do have some problems.
