Be on the alert for some jealous, errrr anger filled, tweets and facebook posts by Jake Odum.....

Pretty cool. That, unfortunately for the rest of the Valley, is just going to make him an even better player. Good for little Mac.

Is there a list somewhere of everyone invited?

Also, Jake Odum was not invited, he's been given an automatic roster position already.

Odum's 20, so he wouldn't be eligible for this team.

How did you find this news out?

MAC tweeted it and now it's on the USA basketball website. There is suppose to be one more cut but it's likely one more guard.
