Ryan Odom talks growing up at UVA, roster construction, play style, and more with CBS Sports’ Jon Rothstein

We’ve got a ways to go before the college basketball season, but new Virginia Cavaliers men’s basketball coach Ryan Odom is as busy as ever. In case you haven’t been paying attention, Odom’s been on a recruiting tear over the last few months, building next year’s roster from scratch.

He’s quite literally gone around the world to assemble a team, and he’s got a clear mission in mind: get back to the NCAA Tournament.

Ryan Odom joined CBS Sports’ college basketball insider Jon Rothstein for a half-hour interview on Thursday. They discussed Odom’s deep UVA ties, his coaching journey, and some expectations for the team this upcoming season.
