ODU may get a commitment from a big-time recruit

[Harry]

Old Dominion’s football program could receive a verbal commitment this week from a big-time prospect in Virginia Beach.

Christian Byrum, a 3-star safety and wide receiver from Tallwood High School, is attending ODU’s team camp this week and said he may commit during camp. If so, it seems likely he would commit to ODU.

Byrum would be the most highly-recruited prospect ever to commit to the Monarchs.

When Byrum trimmed his list of finalists to six two weeks ago, many thought he included ODU as a courtesy. North Carolina State, Boston College, Syracuse and

Duke of the ACC have offered him, as has Wisconsin of the Big Ten. So have East Carolina and Cincinnati of the American Athletic Conference.

It’s not often that a Conference USA school – ODU joins C-USA in 2014 – beats four ACC teams for a recruit. It would be a first for ODU.

I'm ever-so-slightly interested in ODU, but not this interested.

Slow week no doubt.

I wouldn't be too impressed. The recruiting services don't know what they're talking about.

Unless they commit to UNT, then we're bowl-bound baby!
