Catching Up With: Jarrad Odle

Jarrad Odle was your stereotypical Indiana Hoosier. Hailing from tiny Swayzee, a town of fewer than 1,000 people, Odle came to Bloomington during a tumultuous time for the program. Halfway through his tenure, Bob Knight was fired. A player mutiny followed, which was quelled by the promotion of Mike Davis, but Davis also felt the heat from the intensity of that spotlight. Thankfully, all of that drama temporarily evaporated during IU's magical (and improbable) run to the 2002 National Championship game during Odle's senior year.

Odle, a key figure during that improbable run to Atlanta, joined us today as our latest Catching Up With guest. He talked about his recruitment (he actually grew up a Purdue fan), the rollercoaster four years at IU, being on the cusp of a national title, his not-so-great relationship with the program during the Tom Crean years, and what he's up to now. Take a listen:
