Avila is coming to SLU with Schertz.

Watched him briefly today. Not particularly impressed. What did I miss?

A 6’10” guy who shoots 42% from three.

And a very good passer and rebounder.

Poor man's jokic?

He didn't have his best game today, but we need someone like him.

Can shoot the three, very good passer for a 5 (3.8 apg) okay rebounder at 6.6 rpg-think Ezewiro-but not a rim protector with only 0.7 bpg.

A sophomore  with 15 pts 7 rebounds and 2 assists in the game. That's pretty good right?

[SLUMS81]

You’re questioning his skill set compared to what we currently  have? Seriously?

[CenHudDude]

A little slow, but he gets up and down the court and has a lot of attributes as the posters above have mentioned.

[slufan13]

He makes the offense go. It's a great system but you need a 5 man like him to make it work even when he doesn't have a great individual game

I watched him a handful of times this season. But today I saw him in person, and every time he touched the ball I felt like I was in a wax museum. Dude is seriously sloooooow. He definitely has some all around skills, but I wasn't super impressed either. Kinda reminds me of Vouyoukas with better ball handling. 

Tucker DeVries is a straight up dog. Total gangster. If AJ Green from Northern Iowa made the League, this guy is definitely going to get some playing time.

If a coach's system can succeed without standout athletes, that's a good thing.  Expands the pool of players from which he can recruit.

I only watched for a little while before my Sunday nap took over but he looked really slow. I admit I didn’t see much.

Absolutely. That's certainly not an indictment of Schertz. And Ian was a great Billiken so it's a favorable impression. But Avila has achieved near mythical status, which I think is currently above his pay grade.

Sounds like the definition of the Majerus years.

Schertz was wearing a black sweater today. Just sayin'.....

Larry Blurred and Dork Nowinski were the two I heard that made me chuckle.

 

i hope the Valley gets two teams in.  Not at the expense of the A-10 of course but that game today was fun! 

[TheA_Bomb]

Indiana State NET is 26, they're quad one 1-3, q2 4-1, q3 10-0, Q4  12-1

That's respectable, probably good enough. Jerry Palm has them predicted as 11 seed. Edit: He said on CBS Sports they're probably out as they only have that 1 Q1 win.

[slufan13]

Hochman also indicates a decision could come today

[Scoop]

6'10" soph 1st team all conference...take him in a heart beat.  Looks like he could bulk up a bit too.  Bring Jayson Kent as well.  

[billikenbill]

Add Isaiah Swope to that list. Kid’s faster than a fart on a skillet.

They’ll get left out so a under 500 big ten team can get in.

You give U of Minnesota the exact same resume and they get a 4 seed.
