According to ESPN Recruiting Nation: 6'7, 220 lb power forward Terrance O'Donohue has verbally committed to the College of Charleston. O'Donohue is the first player from the class of 2013 to commit to play for Doug Wojcik and the Cougars. He is listed as the 8th best player in the state of Georgia and the 36th best PF in the country.
Terrance is from Norcross, GA but attends McCallie High School in Chattanooga. He had offers from Murray State and UNC Charlotte as well as interest from Clemson and Vanderbilt.
Looks like a solid get by Coach Wojcik. Trent will be a senior in 2013-2014 and O'Donohue could learn a lot from a comparable big man. Check out the video highlights below, love his rebounding and ability to run the floor. Also has a nice jumper out to the three point line.
- From ESPN:
Strengths:
O'Donohue is a smart and skilled power forward that is a match up nightmare. He post up strong and scores in the post with turns shots, drop steps and also has the ability face up and hit the mid range jumpers to 18 feet on a consistent basis which makes him a pick and pop or roll threat. O'Donohue also made some very impressive interior passes when the defense surrounded him in or around the lane. O'Donohue is long with good hands. He rebounds well on both ends and runs the floor well. Defensively he anticipates well in the post which allows O'Donohue to come up with a few timely steals.
Weaknesses:
O'Donohue must continue to build strength and tighten up his body as he continues to hone his overall skills. Also O'Donohue must learn not to leave his feet as much on defense. He goes for shot fakes at times which allows him to pick up fouls. His emotions can hinder his preformance and he will need to add some ball-handling skills to his basketball portfolio if he is to play the wing on the next level.
Bottom Line:
O'Donohue is a skilled forward with a very good basketball IQ. He can score inside and out and is truly a match up problem. He rebounds well on both ends and is an excellent passer for a post player. He must continue to get stronger and develop his skills but has tremendous upside.
