From Chuck Landon’s column in today’s Herald Dispatch: http://www.herald-dispatch.com/sports/marshall/x540212921/Jones-reply-to-buyout-issue-leaves-much-to-be-desired
It appears a player is going to follow new Marshall assistant coach Mark Cline from the University of Oklahoma.
He is Orlando Allen -- all 6-10, 288 pounds of him.
Like former Herd player Pierre Marie Altidor-Cespedes, Allen already has his college degree but has a year of eligibility remaining. So, if the NCAA grants his waiver request, Allen will be eligible immediately.
The Cincinnati, Ohio, native played in only nine games for the Sooners last season, averaging 1.2 points and 1.9 rebounds.
But considering Allen's size and the Herd's lack thereof, he would be a big addition to Marshall's roster.
