Would imagine Odom will bring Silas Barksdale with him at least. Know nothing about the kid though
Kinda like an AG type big.

Mikey Wilkins (NCSU commit)? Though @Hooandtrue didnāt like the fit with Odomās style.
Adlan Elamin (Utah St) if Calhoun moves? VCU offered him, but maybe heās a midmajor player.
Edit: How about the Bosnian kid that visited and then committed to Indiana? The guy who kinda looks and plays like āWeāve got Bogdan Bogdanovic at homeā

Speaking of Providence and medical redshirts:
I know this is a can of worms, but āI need a medical hardship waiver because my uncle died and I was sad all seasonā is the most soft Gen Z crap yet.

I can be both very empathetic for how sad it was to lose his uncleā¦
But also call BS on hardship waiver for a kid who doesnāt have NBA prospects and blatantly wants another year of NIL.
Why did he not play after Feb 1st?

But did he include a ādo not contactā tag?

The real world doesnāt offer do-over years because an extended family member died.
The NCAA grants this waiver and itās a whole floodgate of hardships for extra years

Torn meniscus apparently.
Yeah, if he had actually sat out from the beginning of the season because of whatever mental health reaction to his uncleās passing, then we could have a difficult conversation or whatever. But this just looks pretextualā¦
Heās had 5 years in college. Time to move along.

No chance the NCAA goes for thatā¦like @StLouHoo said it sets a precedent they canāt allow. But why not try I guess. Sad but another year in college for these guys is hundreds of thousands of dollars difference from turning pro. Thatās where we are for the average high major guy.

Scrolling through lists, what about Marcus Jackson as a late 2025 recruit? Decommit from Maryland in the fall.

Aau teammates with Chance and British Mamadi.
Robert Hinton was a top 100 kid who intentionally chose harvard over power 5 programs (HS teammates with Trent Perry). If he has 2nd thoughts and enters the portal, he skyrockets to my top guard want

- Get Mallory to commit.
- Either flip one of Barksdale/Wilkins, or look into Deondrea Lindsey from Oak Hill.
- Flip Ryan Crotty from Okie State.
Thereās your class.

Whatās the story with Christian Fermin? We like him?
We obviously like [British Mamadi] Luke Bamgboye, who looks like a nice find by Odom/staff.
Is it just me or yall surprised that more UVa guys havent announced portal yet

No. Why not hear the new coach out unless you are super homesick or have a big ass offer on the table. Since the portal doesnāt open til Monday theyāve got plenty of time.
Are we expected to get re-involved here, or was that more of a Sanchez recruitment.
Probably too early to tell anyway.
