Dodd is Rookie of the Week- You Have Two in One Season For the Second Time - EvanJ - 02-10-2020 11:21 AM
Dodd won his first Rookie of the Week. This is the second season you had two players win Rookie of the Week, and the first season was 2010-2011 with Tanner Milson and Donte Morales. The CAA has Rookie of Week lists going back to 2002-2003, so before then either they didn't give Rookie of the Week or they didn't save records of it. 2019-2020 is the 18th season they have Rookie of the Week lists.

Dodd has been adjusting to playing as a back to the basket post player and finding a way. He's scoring better now and is a superb FT shooter and shot blocker. Hasn't progressed as quickly as I thought he would, but nice to see him get this kind of recognition. Two great pieces for Burke to work with.

He's well ahead of Cacok as a freshman. With that, I'm not saying he will reach Cacok's level, but he has started very well. Considering he is playing as a big, I don't think he has started slow. If anything, he has been brought on slowly in a good way. I see similarities with him vs Cacok. I felt that way seeing his high school videos. He's already a better shot blocker and can help better defensively without fouling so much. He still has a long way to go, but I'm excited with what I've seen so far.

He played some good ball last week. Love the blocks!

It means my expectations were too high. I predicted he'd be a starter by conference play. It's not a knock on Dodd.

He has really come on lately so I’m happy with where he’s at for a true freshman.

I definitely agree with you. But I think McGrath held him back. He may very well have been starting some games anyway had Burke started off the season a HC. Another reason would be Linssen was more seasoned to start. And we've not been able to afford to start both.
