People still watch cable tv?

I do, you got a problem with that?

3.5 million watched the ACC tournament last season. Not that CUSA would draw that, but yes, people do watch... if its on. I see MAC games and A10 games and AAC games all the time. A few weeks ago I went to a restaurant in Maryland, and there was ECU playing hoops on the big screen. I specifically went out to watch the ODU vs UTSA game at a sports bar, just to be sure it was on for people to see and enjoy. That cant happen if its not on TV.

I haven't had cable in 3-4 years so I honestly have no idea who's on cable television or not. ESPN, Fox, Stadium, Facebook, etc. have a list of games and I just select the game I want to watch so I'm not sure if its also on ESPN 1, 2, or ocho. Apparently not everyone has moved to that, but its going to be that way in the future.

I would rather be on ESPN1, but I really don't think kids care. I watched every game ODU played this year.

Kids these days consume the majority of their content from youtube

I watched Gonzaga and St. Mary's last night just because my wife was reading and it was an interesting game that turned up when scanning the TV guide. Never would have watched if it wasn't on TV.

So lets not ruin the recruiting thread. Sorry I added to all this.

How about we pick up Nathan Knight from W&M? Maybe one of their sharp shooters will want to jump as well. Pretty sure they could cut it academically at ODU so a win, win.

I doubt any of them are there solely for Basketball. They may appreciate the name and stature of a W & M education. If if it is just a name.

He seems like he would be a good fit.

Most any team would like to have that guy, he can play! What year class is he anyway??

Junior

Getting to the dance sure can’t hurt I figure. What do you folks think will happen now? Transfers calling, freshmen or a mix?

Mix. Don't forget about a Juco, especially a Juco PG.

Beat Purdue and the transfer market could be live for us.

You mean WHEN we beat Purdue, 757. They are going down, this is our year.
