Good to hear. Thanks for sharing.

Valuable and encouraging intel - thank you. Last insider intel I heard was about Freeman. And that worked out quite well.

I don't see a search feature on here so I'll just ask.

The roster for this season lists a 6-4 forward, Redshirt SR, Drew Lakey. I really don't recall seeing info on this person. Or have I just snoozed on it?

Well THAT'S new. I was looking at the roster a few days ago and didn't see it. Lemme do some research to see if I can't figure out who this Drew fella is.

Here is his hudl profile. From Alexandria, VA.

He's a secret weapon! His bio is below from ODU Sports.

Yes, this is it... white space.

Practice player it seems. Good for him.

I think I found his linkedin, which had this:

Quote:Graduate student-athlete at ODU pursuing an M.S. in Sport Management. Previously graduated from UVA with a B.A. in Government and a minor in Social Entrepreneurship (McIntire School of Commerce).

VerbalCommits says he's a walk-on: http://www.verbalcommits.com/players/drew-lakey

I can't tell if he was actually a walk-on on UVA's squad or if he just was with the club team there. He said he was a student athlete, but Wikipedia has nothing on him right now when it comes to the rosters.

I work with a guy a very round about way occasionally gets some info about UVA sports. Part time - kinda. His best friend from UVA and his frat brother works in the Athletic Dept as sort of a gopher - he has a full time job at UVA, but volunteers with the Ath Dept. But has some insight. Put it this way, if my friend and I had reacted to a line his buddy told him we'd have put money on UVA before the dance. We didn't. He was very insightful......

A classic example of I know a guy who knows a guy, whose cousin once saw another guy....

Anyway, his friend has nothing to tell us about Mr. Lakey.

The NCAA tournament was rigged????

Looks to have a good stroke from 3. Let's see if he can get it off against D1 defenders.

Pretty sure he's not gonna play much.

So when we are up 30 on JMpoo we should all start chanting, "DREW....DREW....DREW" and storm the court when he his a trey!!! Even if time is still on the clock!

I always knew the D in ODU stood for Drew

Say want you want, but Drew has a National Championship under his belt. Welcome to the Monarchs.

My heart still pines for the one and only Drew, Drew Williamson. Yelling Drew when he hit that shot to win the game against GMU. They still are deciding if he hit it from the South Garage or just from the Big Blue Room. What a man, what a man, what a really fine man!!

Oh yeah, well, I like him more than you! And to prove it, if I ever have a son, I'm going to name him Drew William!

We can always pray he'll be back someday as a coach

If Stith isn't the next coach I hope it's Drew. Drew can come and be an assistant under Stith and take over when Stith oes to the ACC.
