Update: Odoh in summer school trying to graduate. LSU waiting on eligibility?

There have been many posts on the potential of LSU stealing North Texas JUCO center signee John Odoh, which have been based strictly on the presumption that he would come, LSU would want him and North Texas would release him.
I have had my doubts about all of that, and I still do.
However, an article today in the Denton newspaper makes it appear that Odoh to North Texas is not a done deal.

In a side note, (signee) Clarke Overlander is clearly on board. The Argyle guard was at the press conference and Benford talked about him being one of his new players.
Benford is still figuring out how JUCO center John Odoh fits in and will talk to him in the next couple of days. Looking at it from UNT's perspective, you have to hope that works out. Adding Odoh to the roster opens up the possibility of playing Mitchell on the wing more often next season, which will be better for his development and for UNT as a team.

I hope Odoh doesnt fit in the mix at UNT. We sure could use a big body.

WE NEED A CENTER

Would be a nice get, but still not holding my breath. I think when the dust settles there will be a very different roster with some new bigs.
Him and Okafor would be nice to pair with JOB as his offense should be better this year but could use a rebounding D guy next to him who can force teams to keep a body on him.

Benford will also visit with John Odoh, a Hill College center in the next few days. Odoh has signed with UNT, but is still getting used to the idea of playing for someone other than Johnny Jones and Shawn Forrest. He has only spent a couple of years in the U.S. after coming over from Nigeria.
My guess is that it all works out in the end, but it is something to watch.

if benford doesn't speak his language johnny will smile and give him a vegimite sandwich.

I'm gonna be honest dawg, I sort of hope we don't take Swilling
Posted on 5/1/12 at 12:18 pm to Elleshoe
Same.
Posted on 5/1/12 at 12:20 pm to GeorgeTheGreek
if he wants to walk on or only suck up an open scholly this year and be a walk on his sr year I'd be cool...
Posted on 5/1/12 at 12:27 pm to Elleshoe

Is vegemite popular in Nigeria? I thought only Australians and tourists in Australia at that stuff.

They make their vegemite out of monkey meat.

this thread has taken a couple of unforeseen turns.
Posted on 5/1/12 at 1:23 pm to Elleshoe
I really don't think Swilling is even on the table right now, but I could be wrong. I don't think any players are leaving. I thought one or two were, but they would have already announced. The longer they wait, the fewer options they will have, as scholarships get filled up.

with comments like this, hard to imagine we don't land him.

What do you mean he's not even on the table right now? I thought it was a done deal he's coming here.

Is John Odoh in play?
And where are we with this? Has he signed? Is he still committed? Has he opened it up?

Swilling was a little premature on his commitment. It seems he had no offer. I knew it was wierd, because he's never even visited. I think LSU must be stringing him along as an emergency back up, just in case someone transfers.
