Sun, 08 Nov 2009 07:23:33 -0500 The tallest guy in the building was in street clothes last night, in ODU's 91-62 exhibition win over Barton College. Freshman Anton Larsen didn't dress for the game, and probably won't this year. "We're going to probably redshirt him," coach Blaine Taylor said. http://hamptonroads.com/2009/11/barton-and-larsen Tue, 03 Nov 2009 12:16:49 -0500   It sounds as if Kent Bazemore may have some competition next year in the slam dunk department. Bazemore's two late aerial assaults provided the sizzle at ODU's Blue/White Scrimmage Friday night, but now comes the newest Monarch, Richard Ross of Wichita Falls, Tex., who committed Saturday. http://hamptonroads.com/2009/10/more-richard-ross Sat, 24 Oct 2009 20:01:42 -0400 Back from ODU's, um, coronation in Washington. It's hard to get 12 coaches to agree on anything, but some consensus emerged at the CAA media day at the ESPN Zone. 1. The conference is better than it was last year, and probably better than it's been since 2005-06. 2. ODU is the best of an improved bunch. http://hamptonroads.com/2009/10/bluewhite-and-tv Wed, 21 Oct 2009 13:34:35 -0400 When we spoke to ODU recruiting target Khyle Marshall before his visit to Norfolk last week, he told us he'd be making up his mind soon. Obviously, he wasn't kidding. Shortly after returning from Norfolk, Marshall committed to Butler, the Miami Herald reported today. Here's a link to the story. -- Ed Miller     http://hamptonroads.com/2009/09/marshall-butler Wed, 30 Sep 2009 15:28:34 -0400 One of ODU's top recruiting targets will be in town this weekend. Khyle Marshall, a 6-foot-6 forward from Flanagan High in Pembroke Pines, Fla. will be making his official visit. Marshall was the South Florida Sun Sentinel's large school player of the year last season. He's the No.113 prospect in the class of 2010, according to rivals.com. http://hamptonroads.com/2009/09/khyle-marshall Thu, 24 Sep 2009 17:50:07 -0400 The CAA portion of the schedule is out, with the only uncertainty the exact dates of some of the games currently scheduled for Wednesdays. Those games could change a day either way depending on TV.   hamptonroads.com/2009/09/odu-men-finalize-200910-basketball-schedule   http://hamptonroads.com/2009/09/schedule-complete Mon, 14 Sep 2009 16:03:00 -0400 Courtesy of sports information director Carol Hudson, here's a story on Blaine Taylor's recent appearance at the Montana Coaches Association clinic.

Finally got him about 6 p.m. our time, which is 1 a.m. in Copenhagen. Not to worry, Larsen said, he was up anyway. Larsen was clearly excited about coming to ODU, saying it's been his dream to play ball in the U.S. He arrives in late August. http://hamptonroads.com/2009/07/schedule-soon Wed, 01 Jul 2009 14:44:13 -0400    It's time for the Big Blue BBQ.    Thursday afternoon behind the Ted Constant Convocation Center from 5 to 8 p.m.    Tickets are $15 in advance, $20 at the door.
