John Odoh 31-point, 20 rebound night

Harry · January 2, 2012

The Rebels' 6-foot-11 post, John Odoh, who is from Nigeria, had a night to remember, despite his team’s loss.

Odoh had a game-high 31 points to compliment a 20-rebound effort.[/quote]

F Yes.

I haven't been around that long, but I gotta think that next year will be the greatest assembly of talent ever for a mean green team

Doe anyone know the level of talent that Odoh is playing against? Is Hill Co. JC in one of the better Juco divisions? Any future D1 players for any of the teams they have played so far this year?

Love the numbers and the size, but who is Odoh doing this against?

EDIT: I love the early basketball signing period. You get to watch a recruit in his final HS or JC season knowing that, without a doubt (or a failure to qualify academically), he will be playing for YOUR school the next year. College football could learn so many things from college basketball, if they wanted to.

Hasn't payed against the greatest of competition yet. Looks like most of the DI talent in his conference are guards. We should get a better idea when the Region V tourny starts.

Several DI big men are in the region : Raymond Austin , Paris JC ( Seton Hall) Kyle Francis , Lon Morris ( CMU) Greg Gainey, South Plains (UTA) Shavon Coleman , Howard ( which I think is the kid from Louisiana whom we recruited out of HS)

Odoh will be playing in Plano on the 18th

I looked up Hill College's schedule and have made plans to take in the game at Weatherford JC on 2/15. It will be very interesting to get a first hand look.

From what I've seen, he's extremely athletic and quick for a big man, and he and Mitchell together should make a very formidible duo in protecting the rim. Good to see him have a big offensive game. Think I'll try and catch the Weatherford game also.
