Now that I’ve had a day without any assignments post-spring ball, Odom was among my calls this afternoon after our schedules kept having us miss connecting with one another.
I’ll have the formal story up first thing tomorrow morning, but he told me that he “liked the school more than I did before” as he reflected on his official visit to UCLA and compared to his unofficial earlier during spring camp.
Odom got a better feel from Ikaika Malloe and Tony Washington Jr. as far as their plans for the defense and him specifically, if he ends up at UCLA.
He also got a kick out of spending extended time with Laiatu Latu during one of the dinners, talking both about football and things outside of football.
His upcoming official visit schedule looks like this: Ohio State (June 7), Oregon (June 14), USC (June 21).
There’s also a May 31 weekend OV that has many teams trying to lock him in:
Colorado, Georgia, Penn State and “possibly a few others” in contention for that weekend. “Some other schools are really trying to get me to go there, too.”
