he'd do his pro career some help by showing he is willing to play center. in college he'll basically be going against 4's playing there anyway due to the lack of true centers. no matter what spot he plays he'll be fed the ball plenty.

Wow. If there's anyone who has the natural body type to be a center, it's O'Bryant. Crazy to think a guy like that wants to play the 4, especially in college, where most 4's are 6'8", 220 pounds.

I've just heard he doesn't want to play center. Could be wrong, but that's the word.


That is definitely what job said in his discussion with Guilbeau last week.

O'Bryant should play where the coach tells him to play. End of story. Kids these days wouldn't have made it back in the day. To much entitlement these days.

Is this kid's mom, Geerts wife, African American?

Geert is a no tan dutchman, and his kid looks anything but his Dad.

Anybody know?

Yes she is. She's from South LA, I think maybe Pointe Coupee, graduated from LSU also.

you know, there are only 2 types of people in this world that can't stand. Those who are intolerant of other people's culture and the Dutch.

I've only saw Swilling play once, and he was the best player on the court his senior year in the 5A LA state championship game.

Swilling Sr. picked up the team in a stretch Limo after the game


Hoping we can land him.

If it is Swilling and he ends up not being good, at least he's only got two years.

Yes she is
Geert is a big tall fella, guess he can handle his bidness.

To me that is pretty much a sign that he had failed completely at recruiting. This year was Trent's chance to make his mark on the program and he failed. Glad JJ is here not necessarily because I think he was a terrific hire or anything but anything is better than a quitter IMO.

No one wanted to come play for a grouchy old man.

JJ should've brought Tony Mitchell here

Jones had this guy committed to North Texas

6'10 center John Odoh

Already signed, though. Not sure if Johnny is interested in poaching UNT recruits. However, Odoh is a good player. Would love to have him.

Good point...2 years of Swilling is better than not using that scholly. I'm not the biggest fan of Swill, but still. I've seen him play a number of times but that was high school against some weaker competition. Hopefully he pans out.

I love Johnny going out and making moves, however limited they are. Down the road, looks like the dude is willing to put in the effort.

took Trent's lazy arse over a year to fill 1 of 5 spots, Jones took about 2 days

Just glad to see Trent go. I wanted to scream when people said he needed one more year.

One more year and it would have been even worse. Somehow.
