George Odufuwa a combo forward from Kimball will do an official visit to the hilltop next weekend.

Full Rivals article:

Although George Odufuwa is considering offers from seven schools, only five of those schools will receive official visits. The 6-foot-8, 225-pound combo forward from Kimball High School in Cedar Hill, Texas, has three of those visits scheduled and the first one is slated for this weekend.

Odufuwa will begin his visits this weekend.
"I'm going to visit Arizona State this weekend, and then I'll visit SMU and Colorado on the following weekends," said Odufuwa, the No. 133 ranked player in the Rivals150. "I'll chose my last two visits between Georgia, Gonzaga, Miami and Texas A&M."

Looking to commit early this fall and then sign in November, Odufuwa will primarily be looking at two aspects of the programs he visits.

"When I visit, I'll be looking for the possibility of early playing time and what my relationship with the players and coaches are like," he said.

IF that is really all he is looking for then we I would say we have a pretty decent chance.

Two scholarships to give: Odufuwa and Arthur.
Man, this recruiting thing is easy. I should be a coach.

thats good news. Watch out for Billy Gillespie, but I think we have a decent shot at him among that group of finalists. Hopefully its 110 degrees in Tempe this weekend.

Watch out for Colorado, they use women of questionable virtue to recruit. But the fact that we are one of his must take visits and programs like A&M, Georgia, Miami are on the maybe list, is a good sign. I worry about Gillespie as well. I think our new conference will give us better footing for some of these recruits. I mean CUSA destinations are much better than WAC destinations. (Memphis, Orlando, New Orleans). No altitude games, no weekend trips to Hawaii with four time zones. And mom and dad can drive to many of the games. Although gas prices may make that trip as expensive as plane fares.

Would be great if we could get the kid. Seems like a very solid player. SMU should fare well as it seems that some of the other programs have other kids in their sights, in particular a$m and asu.

Let's get him to Dallas. Phoenix is a hot heck hole. I hate uga, and who really wants to go to college station??

Go Ponies!

This would be a great pickup for the Mustangs. If we could sign Odufuwa and Arthur we would be NCAA tourney contenders real soon.
