DuchesneEast {l Wrote}:Odom decision nears
The father of Long Island, N.Y., forward Rod Odom said he did not "believe anything has changed" regarding his son's recruitment after their visit to Boston College last weekend.
That could be good news for the Wildcats. Odom is expected to make a decision shortly from among UA, Boston College, West Virginia and Vanderbilt, having already eliminated Harvard last week because of financial considerations.
Odom met with UA assistant coaches last week in Massachusetts, where he attends the Middlesex School, and Rod Odom Sr. said his son maintains a strong relationship with all of Miller's staff members.
"Everything went well with them, and I don't think anything at Boston College changed that," the elder Odom said. "I think a decision is pretty close."
Odom said his son is now just going through a final process of contacting coaches and will likely decide this week.

None of which is on Skinner. By all accounts, he did everything possible to close this kid, recruiting him harder than any kid before.

What does it say about Skinner when he recruits a kid harder than anyone before and can't land him? I am one of the biggest Skinner defenders but at some point he's got to land a kid like Odom. If he misses out on Odom and Noreen does bail, they are absolutely screwed. I hope the kid picks BC otherwise Skinner is really going to have to find some real sleepers because he'll have two (assuming Noreen stays) fucking commits over two classes.

Why perpetuate the myth that Al can't land top talent? Sanders and Southern both were as highly rated/recruited as Odom.

I suppose you are correct but I worry that there's going to be a two-year hole in the program, which it can't afford.
