It's good to know that the basketball team excells in athletics.

JJ gets a $50k raise from the $506k he made last year (not including his $25k NCAAT bonus).

Is these raises and extensions necessary for JJ each year? His career at ODU has been a nightmare. His recruiting of top freshman for 6 years has been overdue. Also, his scheduling, has been soo soft for 6 years,he should win twenty some games per year. Recruiting is the name of the game, and I don't mean transfers. We need coaches that convince 3 or 4 star freshman to come to ODU. Go ahead Wood, and keep spending money each year, on JJ. No wonder we have the highest budget in the league. In a final note transfers are what brought these wins. At least, some of the transfers. I am sure a lot of fans don't like to hear this, but there are many that due agree.

That's the Catch 22. If we want JJ to be able to recruit, this extension was necessary. Hard to get freshmen to sign on with only 3 years left on your contract.

In my opinion, he did enough last year to deserve the extension. Can he take the next step win an NCAA Tournament game? We'll see.

(I agree on the scheduling, though last year was a step in the right direction. Maybe St. Joe's, UNI, and Richmond will be their normal selves when we play them again.)

Are you really an ODU graduate? Both your writing and punctuation needs significant work. Whatever happened to the senior writing exit exam?

They killed that around 2013.

I took the exit exam in 2001. In 2004, I went to a law school fair when I was giving thought to becoming a lawyer of some sort. They were testing a writing component to the LSAT and I volunteered. One of the prompts was also the one used for the ODU exam. I forget what it was, but it was identical across the board. I tried to remember what I wrote for the ODU exam. Got a 4 out of 5 so eh.

That story added nothing to the conversation.

the extension of three years is BS. He has had 6 years already to recruit top freshman. This so call big man that is visiting from Alabama
is weaker than Robinson. I looked up his career at Alabama and is stats are terrible. This is a no offense player, like A. Carver. 4 against 5! This guy and Dickens will not control the inside game.

I would suspect that the coaching staff has looked at film of him playing, talked to coaches about him, not to mention they will be evaluating him when he visits. But yea, I guess you have enough basketball pedigree to look at stats online and determine what kind of player he is and what role the coaching staff is looking for him to fulfill. And yes the sarcasm was intended. I get tired of guys who have NEVER coached at this level come on here and act like they experts.

We'll see what he ends up with. Either Jones is our guy and we give him enough of an extension to enable him to recruit, or else we cut ties and move on. Having him as a lame duck doesn't help either party.

Yeah, players who underwhelmed at Alabama have never played better in CUSA.

What are you even talking about? Giddens is much more proven than Robinson was. What a wild post.

I never said, I was an ODU grad. When you are not patience and mad, then yes the grammar is poor. Anyway the truth hurts, and I was giving to the ODAF, when you were in diapers! The program is headed south.

I think the extension is well deserved, the team played well this season.
