Odell Hodge - Old Dominion University

Old Dominion University

Odell Hodge established himself as one of the greatest men's basketball players in Old Dominion University history. He began his career by earning the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) Rookie of the Year in 1993. While playing for the Monarchs, Hodge compiled over 2,000 points and 1,000 rebounds. His 2,117 points and 1,086 rebounds make him only one of four Division I men's basketball players in Virginia history to reach the 2000/1000 club (the others are Ralph Sampson, Kenny Sanders, and Jeff Cohen). In 1994 and 1997, Hodge's sophomore and redshirt senior seasons, he was named both the CAA Player of the Year and CAA Tournament MVP. He was named to the CAA's All-Defensive squad in 1997 and ranks in the CAA's top ten all-time in scoring, second to David Robinson in career blocked shots (286), and in the top five of all-time CAA rebounding. Hodge graduated in 1997 and received his degree in recreation and leisure studies. Because of Hodge's success as a basketball player at Old Dominion University, his #33 jersey was retired up in the banners of the TED Constant Convocation Center on February 12, 2010.

Famous quotes containing the words dominion and/or university:

    Great is the hand that holds dominion over
    Man by a scribbled name.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    The information links are like nerves that pervade and help to animate the human organism. The sensors and monitors are analogous to the human senses that put us in touch with the world. Data bases correspond to memory; the information processors perform the function of human reasoning and comprehension. Once the postmodern infrastructure is reasonably integrated, it will greatly exceed human intelligence in reach, acuity, capacity, and precision.
    Albert Borgman, U.S. educator, author. Crossing the Postmodern Divide, ch. 4, University of Chicago Press (1992)
