We completely lucked into Odell Hodge back in the day. He was being recruited by Wake Forrest and UVA and everyone else had offered. They all backed off cause they didn’t think he’d qualify with his dyslexia. ODU stayed on him the entire time and he rewarded them for it once he did qualify. He’s an awesome person and worked his ass off because school didn’t come easy for him. He’s been very successful.

I think we'd take an Alex Loughton, VV or Dahi as well. I'd take a Chris Cooper at this point. Heck, I'd take Nik Biberaj.

Pretending these people don't or didn't exist doesn't make it so. Pretending that it is either Big Country Reeves or Aaron Carver/Nick Wright with nothing in between doesn't make it so either.

We have a major recruiting problem.

None of those guys fit the description of a "center" that some want.

Most of them are at a minimum far closer to that description than what we have seen. I'd take Laughton and Cooper in a heart beat for center. Would rather Valdas and Dahi play the power forward along side one of them.
