Suggestion, why doesn't someone create a "I Love JJ" site so you can all go and talk about what a great man he is, how he runs a clean program and how winning doesn't really matter as long as it's ODU.

Nah, I'm not sugar coating anything. But I'm also not coming on here daily to post "JJ sucks" without much else either. It's so tiring and it's probably why this site is down to a few regular posters now.

Its down to a few regular posters because both football and basketball suck.

There is no excitement whatsoever and our university school spirit is flatlined outside of this most recent baseball run.

Our recruiting, or lack thereof, is just another nail in the coffin of a crumbling program.

I think the downside of letting kids come back for another year and schools aren't willing to take on the increased scholarships to bring in more than 14 kids.

I did a google search and there is no information on him at all. He might be one of the 500 kids still looking for a school. I did see that he retweed the Smith commitment (teammates at SMU)...do we know for sure he didn't commit? I don't think many people knew about Trice last year.

And that’s one of the big problems I see with the whole program. No info at all to keep the fans engaged. No coaches show on the radio. No coaches show on tv. Remember the awesome blog Brendan used to do? None of that. No articles in the Pilot. Never much from Harry M. Just zip, no excitement.

Seems to me the team might be set but how would I know since the days of coverage of ODU basketball seem to be over.

He should have just the covid year left since he played 2 at both Wichita and NCCU.

I will note that the roster has been updated and X is no longer on it.

(06-29-2021 12:28 PM)ODU BBALL Wrote:  He appears to be a good player and a good addition to the team. My only concern is with the large number of guards on the team and the small number (3) of 4/5 players. They lost two 4/5 players from last season's team (6'8" Reese, and 6'10" Shanu) and replaced them with one 4/5 player (6'9" Morris). With Xavier apparently not returning, does the team still have another scholarship after the addition of Keyser?

Before someone chimes in and says that player xyz can play the 4, lets go with the natural positions of the players instead of playing them up a position or two. Perhaps Jeff is looking to change his style of play at least a little bit this season. Maybe an old dog can learn some new tricks.
