Thanks. Has anyone heard how his visit went or what school is leading for him?

Only 7'? Not tall enough.

Does Arledge going to ODU mean ODU is out of the Thompson sweepstakes?

 

[PDGL Hoops]

How many scholarships do we have available? 1?

Another big would be lovely!

If we can't get another sharpshooter I think we need a low post banging rebounding machine. Those are our two needs.

No. They have another scholarship available for him because Dmitri Batten is transferring.

It does not. All it means is that Arledge is taking a bigger risk with his safety. Growing up in Norfolk, I wouldn't move to the neighborhood by campus unless I was a paid mercenary, or had one working for me. I'm looking at you KILLAM AVE! (Yes, it's pronounced "kill 'em")

The area around ODU is awful. Went there two summers ago for a few nights. You literally couldn't pay me to go back.

Everyone's doors automatically lock when you leave because of the high probability someone will try to sniff around your place. I don't think my roommates and I locked our townhouse in Fairfax once in two years. 'Ol Dirty U.

Back on topic folks. You can talk about Ol' Dirty in the Jon Arledge thread if you like.

So, were we in contention for him at some point or something? Or are you just letting us know?

Just posting it as general knowledge. Solid 2014 SG prospect. If Rhode Island was in play for him, there's no reason we can't be either.

Michigan big man transfer Jon Horford committed to Florida. I hope we land this JUCO kid..it'd be really advantageous to red shirt Porter. Don't see it happening unless we bring in another big.

We also need another guard. Not enough schollies and shitty roster management. Blewitt.

Getting another big should be our top and only priority right now. While we may only have 2(3 if you count Tate) PGs on the roster; we have plenty of guys that can handle the ball. We do lack size and toughness down low and adding some height should be the only thing on the staffs mind right now.

We need both. If Hewitt didn't sign 35 small forward type recruits we probably wouldn't have this issue.

Yea, it'd be nice to get both but a big is a need. I think we will see a lot of guys handling the ball and they may not be listed as a "point guard" but there is nothing wrong with have a few "point forwards" on the team. I mean don't get me wrong I would love to see us get another good pg but Moore is only going to get better and we have a lot of guys that could handle the ball so I don't see it being an issue this year or next but we only have 2 centers on the team (1 of which is only 6-8 and can't stay out of foul trouble and is offensively challenged and the other would be better suited to redshirt).

Trey Porter with the play of the game from the Capital Classic:

Not to criticize that play of the game, but I was hoping to see him muscling through three defenders to get an and-1 opportunity or something.
