Here's hoping that picking up Giddens helps us get this kid as well.

Here's an update from Rivals:

"I've got offers from Norfolk State, Akron, Delaware, Old Dominion, Richmond, Temple, James Madison and Liberty," he said. "Right now I would say I give the advantage to JMU because I know a couple people who play up there. I also like ODU since they are right around the corner."

A variety of major college programs are at least considering offering Nichols.



"North Carolina State, ECU, Connecticut, North Carolina and Boston College have been in touch," he said. "They basically told me it depends on how I play in our first games. If I do well I should receive bigger interest.

"If those schools offer, that would change my recruiting a lot. I think the first ACC school that does I'd give a verbal to and go check it out. I'm waiting on a high D-I offer."

Yeah, we're not for everyone, and it seems as though he doesn't "want" to come here. That's fine, not everyone does.

Scratch Ricky off our list ...

"I committed last Saturday to Old Dominion," he said. "The location was a big part of it. It close to home, my sister goes there and the coaches showed me a lot of love.

It will be interesting to see how long it takes ODU to build a solid program. Sounds like they are already starting to get some good recruits. That just gives us 1 more team to schedule in the state.
