According to this LINK Coach Johnny Jones has stated that he is not recruiting Odoh. It appears to be anybody's guess where the JC center will end up.

quote:

I expect that once Odoh is released, he will be snapped up pretty quickly by a high major program. More than a dozen programs have inquired about Odoh over the last few days.

The upshot there is that Jones is throwing in the towel and looking elsewhere - so naturally he's going to say he was never going after him.

Watch and see if we ever play UNT in any sport again.

(speculation)

Sounds like no decision has been made yet and he hasn't been released yet, which is why Jones has denied that he has made contact with him.

You better have some inside info, because this is far from happening.

This.

Also this is interesting

One way or another, Odoh will end up being released by UNT and I have little doubt that restriction regarding LSU will be in there.



So he hasnt been released at all so the block on LSU is just purely speculation at this point.

He made the grades he needed and is working on moving up to this years class. It is expected that he will enroll this summer and be eligible to play right away

Maybe you should read up on things before commenting on them.

Lot of that going on today.

On Odoh, who knows what's going on. This writer said definitively yesterday that Odoh had been released with an LSU restriction. Today, he says he hasn't even started the process.

Trocha makes me REALLY nervous.

Trent sure as hell wouldn't have signed him, that much is for certain.

Well if he wasn't released yet, of course CJJ would say he's not recruiting him. He can't.

Moscona interviewed a writer from Denton today who said that Jones told him that he would not recruit Odoh on principal because he had rescruited him at UNT. That said, something has to be up, otherwise there would be no talk of restricting him from coming to LSU.

And that sort of thing worked out for him, no?

Why would UNT put in an LSU restriction, its not like we're in direct competition with them via conference ties.. Thats really shady and hypocritical on their part, didnt they just take two transfers in a similar manner?

Since Odoh isn't officially released yet, I'm guessing it's a ploy to stick it to us for taking their coach and a ploy to get Odoh to stay.
Basically if they threaten to restrict LSU he might decide to stay.
I'm guessing jones talks to some people, tells Odoh to stay firm and then he joins LSU.
