Preston Willett is joined by Mike Barber to take a deep dive into new Virginia men's basketball coach Ryan Odom to learn more about his history, how he worked his way up the ladder, and building a roster.
First on the Hoos On Podcast, presented by Alcova Mortgage with Joe Reed, Preston and Mike give their initial thoughts on the hire, which was easily forecasted as far back as October. Then they discuss the Chance Mallory commitment and what that means for Odom as he starts his UVA tenure. Later the guys breakdown Odom's history with UVA and how his "fit" goes beyond his days as a ball boy. Preston and Mike then go through some of the biggest hesitations from the fan base over the hire, including NCAA Tournament track record, national attention, and sustaining success.
Finally, Preston breaks down the news about Longwood head coach Griff Aldrich joining Odom's coaching staff as an associate head coach, how the rest of the staff could fill out and a few transfer portal notes.
