. . . Where is John Rhodes when you need him?
And, John is fluent in Icelandic, having played pro ball there. See my OT post. He could lure Atlason from Oxford Tech to OHIO, and then coach him up -- one big man to another. You really hit the nail on the head here!

Since he was brought up, does anyone know what Rhodes is doing with his time now? It has been about a decade since he stopped coaching and beat cancer. And he is only 60. Hope he is doing well in whatever field he ended up in.

After he left OU he was HC at Ohio Northern from 2009-2012 then was an assistant at Duquesne from 2012-2017 (he left when Dambrot was hired). He beat cancer and being hit by a car in 2015. I do not know what hes been up to since leaving Duquesne.

Rhodes is still listed as on staff at IMG Academy as the head coach of the elite post grad program.

How many freaking teams does IMG have? There are 21 people who are some form of "coach" in boys basketball alone (SIX varsity head coaches), plus a director of basketball, program manager, and a head of player development.
