I'm hoping we get at least one more big who can start b/c I don't want O'byrant playing the 5 spot. I can see him in constant four trouble if he's forced to guard most 5's in SEC play.

Below are quotes from Johnny Jones from just a few weeks ago. I have to believe they have known about Odoh's academic issues for some time, so I don't think he is being referred to. He mentions two potential late signees. That would have to indicate transfers. He also says one is a player that can help us with those "questions", meaning depth issues in the post.

quote:
"(We're) hoping that we could hopefully beef up inside," he said. "We lost some key guys inside last year from Storm Warren and Malcolm White along with Justin Hamilton and we have to make sure--especially playing in this league--we're bigger somewhat in size."

Jones has signed a point guard, two shooting guards and two small forwards since coming to LSU. The biggest player he's signed is 6-feet-8, 240 pound small forward Calvin Godfrey.

"We have not answered those questions yet and we look forward to hopefully having a couple of late signees and maybe one that will help us answer those questions," Jones said.

ETA: I don't believe Godfrey is a small forward. He could end up playing center for us.

O'Bryant at the 5 would be fine, he's bigger than almost all SEC Centers. Dude is huge. Don't have to be a 7 footer to play center in college.
