Miscellaneous Recruiting Comments
* Stellar Recruiting Class: Mason [very big on Johnny Williams, Paris Bennett, Sherrod Wright & Vertrail Vaughns is a "steal"]
* Other Top Class: Towson [big on Isaiah Philmore and Erique Gumbs]

Don't Miss Games
Nov. 12 JMU at Ohio State
Nov. 13 Hofstra at Kansas
Dec. 1 Providence at Northeastern
Dec. 8 Dayton at Mason
Dec. 19 ODU at Georgetown
 
Yeah that Dayton @ George Mason game is going to rile up the entire country. No one on 4 continents will miss that one. But the return of Coach Capel to VCU, when Oklahoma comes to VCU, well... that's nothing. :?:

Sure.
 
And for the record.... No way JMU finishes that low. I'd also doubt that ODU would get an 11 seed if they represented. But that is certainbly in the realm of possibility.
 
Im not even being a homer when I say that the VCU-Oklahoma game will have more coverage than any of those except for mayyyybe Georgetown-ODU depending on how ODU is looking in late Dec.

I hope the ODU-GU game isnt at the same time as VCU-Tulane so that we can watch Greg Monroe toss around Mr Softee for 36 minutes.
