Played at H-SC, coached at VT under Seth for several years, and of

course at VCU...a strong Commonwealth connection. Not sure that matters much in hoops...but he will know the territory. Also led UMBC to that historic win. ** Edited by Tuckahokie at 3/22/2025, 7:33:32 AM

It's funny — big difference between UVa/NCSU and FSU/Miami coaches.
David CunninghamAdmin 03/22/25 01:34 PM ET
I interacted with Odom when he was at VT

Glad Odom and not S. Smart from Marquette and his full ct. defense.**

Agreed on quality VCU hired coaches, but do you know you can edit the post,
Stech 03/21/25 10:19 PM ET
Why do I believe this was a done deal 2-3 weeks ago?**
ancient alien 2018 03/21/25 09:49 PM ET
Handshake deal for a number of days
wahoo2023 03/22/25 09:58 AM ET
Not quite 2 but it was**
VTSweaterMan 03/22/25 06:34 AM ET
Ryan not Mike. But he and Wade are quality hires.
millmtnhokie 03/21/25 07:34 PM ET
and where do you think we'll end up in all this...

Young is a good coach. Needs a bit of talent.**
UTPr0sim 03/21/25 10:38 PM ET
They are, although I think Wade is the stronger hire.
Gobbler Guru 03/21/25 08:09 PM ET
Wade will have more money than Odom…
Rev.Zeke Vodka 03/21/25 09:50 PM ET
Rumor that Griff Aldrich will be Odom's GM.**
Chris ColemanAdmin 03/22/25 11:50 AM ET
He should've hired Stephanie Ballein.**
NokieHokie 03/22/25 12:47 PM ET
That is what was reported here on local news**
Hokie Chief 03/22/25 08:41 AM ET
This isn’t what I’ve read from multiple sources.
RCush13 03/22/25 07:59 AM ET
Wade has been assured…
Rev.Zeke Vodka 03/22/25 01:00 PM ET
Meaning the NIL money was earmarked for paying out whatever buyout Keatts
Hokie 04 03/23/25 01:43 PM ET
Not sure all the $$ involved in NCSU basketball is reflected
I love VT! 03/22/25 08:04 AM ET
Wade is the sleezyest coach i
sideline guy 03/21/25 10:32 PM ET
But is there such a thing as sleaze anymore?
Will StewartAdmin 03/22/25 09:05 AM ET
I took a picture of that restaurant when therr for the football game in '23
Hokie 04 03/23/25 01:45 PM ET
You may want to......
2hhoop3 03/22/25 09:47 AM ET
Exactly - NIL in theory will have to be real. There may be full fledged
vtfin91 03/22/25 12:20 PM ET
Odom is the safe and correct hire
wahoo2023 03/21/25 08:57 PM ET
Interesting on Aldrich, hadn’t heard that..didn’t know he was leaving
HokieSA 03/22/25 09:39 AM ET
Aldrich and Odom went to HSC together
wahoo2023 03/22/25 09:47 AM ET
They've worked together well before.
I love VT! 03/22/25 10:10 AM ET
They few from VCU won’t be able to get in.
sideline guy 03/21/25 10:35 PM ET
A thought on Ryan Odom..
Rev.Zeke Vodka 03/21/25 10:13 PM ET
Rev refresh my memory. How close was VT to hiring Odom? I think I remember
RUHokie 03/22/25 07:54 AM ET
Very close
Rev.Zeke Vodka 03/22/25 02:53 PM ET
Wise move!.......
2hhoop3 03/22/25 04:04 PM ET
Fairly close, I believe.
Chris ColemanAdmin 03/22/25 11:52 AM ET
Downgrade from Bennett, definitely a huge downgrade**
ombandit 03/21/25 08:57 PM ET
100%**
millmtnhokie 03/21/25 08:28 PM ET
Not a stretch as Bennett was one of the best. **
