2015:5th, 2016: 3rd, 2017: 6th. 2018: 5th, 2019: NA, 2020: 10th

The problem is many of our top recruits don't stick around. So those rankings don't tell the whole story. Batten, Huiett, Kithcart, Dickens, Godwin, Kah, Fields, Talley... all highly regarded, all left, several without even making an impact.

These recruiting results certainly aren'tt impressive! Also, why would so many leave if the players love JJ like many in here have indicated?

Batten/Porter- grad transfers
Huiett/Fields- playing time; Fields was also a walk his freshman year
Kithcart- Not going to repeat it, not basketball related
Kah/Talley- legal; non basketball related
Dickens/Godwin- others have stated on here why they left.

So 5 of the 9 had character issues. One could even add Porter to that list.

So 5-6 out of 9 players had character issues which ultimately led to their demise.

Whos in charge of bringing players in to play for ODU? Last time I checked its JJ.
