It is his fault that he picked Duke. There was always high likelihood that was a bad call.

I can’t fault him for coming here, but if he picked us because we agreed on the price, maybe that was shortsighted. I still think he pairs much better with Warley and probably with Tony.

Personally I think he could be good in a league with smaller bigs and less athletic wings. He’s a weird tweener where him not being a big body turns him in BBQ chicken (Shaq voice) with bigs and athletic wings can blow by and guard him well.

TJ Power gives me Colgate superstar vibes at this point and 1st team Patriot League.

If he decides to stay for a lot less, I’m always down for 11-13 being projects that might never hit.

Right? Tbh, Davidson feels like it’s still shooting a bit high

Actually just looked at their roster and did not realize Davidson switched from being an NC private school spot to just a bunch of New England kids: Davidson College. Looking at the schools, some of these guys he’s probably already done well against.

I guess he will fit right it!

A step down in competition also makes sense for him. I wish him well.

iMac is much more than symbolic. He’s our best player and one of the best 3 point shooters in the country. Odom loves the three. iMac is someone that we want because he’s really good and a great fit with Odom’s offense.

Dai Dai is also a really good fit for Odom’s offense. Obviously, not on iMac’s level but he’s the kind of guard that Odom likes.

We haven’t seen Elijah anywhere near his potential and his potential is really good. If he still has bounce and that athletic ability I can’t see why Odom wouldn’t want to keep him. I know I want him.

All of the private schools in NC are full of North East kids…

Not really sure our staff has started really getting to talking to non-VCU transfers. Either guys know where they’re going, which won’t matter, or it takes a few weeks to sort out anyway. Only two reported reach outs yesterday pretty sure came from Guy…presumably he’ll be on the staff but if not he’ll be on a staff somewhere. There’s a lot of that, coaches just recruit, then sometimes figure out for who later.

True, but surely Odom had guys working on this in some capacity a week or two ago, in order to be able to hit the ground running….or jogging

I was referring to the high school pipeline - Davidson normally has been Charlotte Latin, Providence Day, Charlotte Christian, etc. Davidson was normally a landing spot for their top guys but only 1 NC private school guy on their most recent roster

Kansas really be reaching out to everyone lol (and Im someone who likes Jaydon Young if he ever gets fully healthy).

I really hope this dude doesn’t end up coaching at VT or MD because I like him a lot.

I love the idea of a ā€œdo not contactā€ tag. We need that for life in general.

Oh, the term might be a young person thing but I’ve shared the attitude for 50+ years.
