He’ll be a good player at that level. I could see after putting up good numbers and refining his shot he’ll play for a high level team his senior year.

Westy03 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 For how small he is he’s not that quick. He will do well at Kent state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was skeptical because of the size, and still am, but showed real D1 playmaking ability. Would’ve been interesting to see in new system Oh well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slowry Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 1 hour ago, Fraz said: Very important point here. Larry and Kent appear to be unrated coming out of HS. Unrated as in no stars. Not on anyone’s radar. Both cashing out at Texas. Avila was a 2 star center with minimal regional interest. Now he’s a 4 star transfer and one of the best bigs in the country. I really think that Avila in a different system would be okay at best. He’s a great passer and a really good shooter. But he’s thriving in an offense that accents his strong points. If he played as a traditional big down low like most teams run he would struggle. He’s slow and needs to bulk up to play down there. Plus adding the extra 25-35 feet he’d have to run each trip up and down the floor he’d be gassed a lot faster. I really hope he comes here because he fits the system so well. He’ll have a hard time finding a system that fits him like this one. David King likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if he looked better because of the talent level around him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, this system fits his talents best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
