Sorry if I confused anyone...McClinton is in school and getting his degree BUT his eligibility is used up. He will not play for ODU or anyone else next year. There will be no medical redshirt. His career is over.

So blew.......as someone who clearly has an ear into the program.......do you think we are anywhere near landing an actual impact big man next year?

If we lose Stith and have to start porter and carver next year with little behind them it will be mean yet another step backwards. What say you?

As far as landing one I have no idea....I do know we are in the hunt for 2...one is from Finland. If we don't land one of these I am sure we will go grad transfer or juco route.If all we have is Porter and Carver I would agree it will be a step backwards. You should remember that counting this year and next year we have signed 5 three star recruits...I can't remember ODU ever accomplishing that before. That having been said I think we will get a big. Whether he will be an impact player only time will tell.

Ehhh kah was a 4 star and I don't believe caver had any so I take all of that with a major grain of salt.

The rating system for kids is not necessarily used to look back on players and determine how they turn out in college. The system is used more as a gauge as to how heavily they are being recruited. We have had many 2 star recruits... Some good some bad...A 2 star generally means that player is not being recruited by as many schools as the 3 and 4 star guys. By us landing players that are being recruited harder and by more schools shows we are heading in the right direction and the coaching staff is improving their methods of recruiting. So to answer your question if we are near landing an impact big man my answer is yes. We are getting better at recruiting . We have a solid set of recruits coming in therefore we are more attractive to a big man.I think we will but only time will tell.
