I looked and didn't see this posted. Nothing new, but a few good quotes.

I looked and didn't see this posted. Nothing new, but a few good quotes.
quote:
A few people have implied that the reason UNT and Odoh have parted ways is not because he does not want to play for the school, but rather because he would not qualify academically.
Odoh has some summer school classes he has to take to finish his two-year degree and qualify to play at the Division I level next year. That's not unusual.
quote:
The suggestion that Jones had been trying to convince Odoh to back out of his commitment to UNT to play for the Tigers has also been out there
Jones denied that was the case this morning.
"We are not involved with any UNT players at all," Jones said. "I would call and ask the current head coach's blessing if we planned to contact anyone after they were released. I have been at several universities and have never tried to recruit a player who was going to a school I left. I don't operate that way."
A second person involved in the process confirmed that UNT's staff has not contacted Odoh.
quote:
As of this afternoon, Odoh has not received his release from UNT. A school official said that UNT has not received the necessary paperwork yet. That appears to be a formality, one that Odoh should take care of once he is aware of how the process works.
quote:
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.
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.

signee John Odoh may want to follow former coach Johnny Jones to LSU. Villarreal said Odoh hasn’t asked for a release yet. If he does, don’t expect a release -- or at least not one to LSU. Villarreal was adamant that Odoh was recruited by Jones with Mean Green funds. Players may leave, but without a release, meaning they would then have to pay their own scholarships.

Didn't they just get some recruits using another schools money? I might be wrong but I'm pretty sure this is the case.
