slu72 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 I compare Avila more to Rob Loe than any recent big we’ve had. I remember Ben Howland commenting on Loe of how important he was to SLU’s success. Smart, good passer, good board man, and scores when you need it most. That strikes me as an Avila type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetorch Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Avila would be the best true big we've had since Ferry and Macauley. He's on that level. SLUMedBilliken15 and Littlebill like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
757billiken Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 We had a freshman stretch 4 redshirt last year? Why the hell did he not see the court? Keep him. No idea why he didn't at least get a showing. Also interesting to see the practice setup under Ford. I wish we could watch more practices. A shame to see a few assistants have to step up in a few of the intrsquad games due to injuries.

wgstl Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Coach said third player, the three currently are Thames, Hughes, and wiliford. He could have mis-worded what he meant, but being literal would likely mean wiliford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could have mis-worded what he meant, but being literal would likely mean wiliford. Went back and listened. His exact quote was, “I think Billiken fans will get some good news tomorrow as it relates to one of the players-we wanted to bring a third player back and I think we’ve got a good chance to do that. Won’t steal any thunder there.” I think it would be safe to assume he was talking about Jimerson, especially considering Frank’s tweet earlier this afternoon.

Thanks, ya that definitely sounds like Gibson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avila is going to be an All-American by the time he is done. Not many bigger Rob Loe fans than me, but Avila is already light years ahead of Rob at his best.
