Interesting prospect. Scored 21 pts vs us. 19 vs USF. 37% from 3 as a sophomore. We would be his 3rd school in 3 years
My guess is him and several ISU kids already have their bags packed for Saint Louis, following their coach.Indiana State cult hero Robbie Avila enters transfer portal...let's go get him!
Trilly thinks the same for Avila and SwopeMy guess is him and several ISU kids already have their bags packed for Saint Louis, following their coach.
Most are going where the $$$ is greater. One day it's going to be wild where you see smaller schools with nice endowments like Rice in the American, Boston University in the American East and Northeastern University in the CAA beating out Big East and ACC teams. Those schools never went at it hard for recruiting purposes. Once those schools get involved they're going to be off and running.Let's see would you think he would prefer to play for SHU in the BE or St Louis? He would be a fool to decline an offer from SHU in my opinion.
I don't know. We speculate on what's best for any kid. I do the same. But ultimately we don't know what drives any particular player.Let's see would you think he would prefer to play for SHU in the BE or St Louis? He would be a fool to decline an offer from SHU in my opinion.

We are a better program than SLU. We play in a better league.
How would Avilla far night-in, night out against Big East bigs? He's a unique player.
Not many Players will take more to play in the American East if they have Big East talent.Most are going where the $$$ is greater.

They've done it for years in the WCC. How many elite SEC level football players followed Deion to Jacksonville State. Don't kid yourself. And don't believe for a second those schools won't steal a top level coach if their wealthy alums will buy players. A school like Rice is loaded with wealthy alumsNot many Players won’t take more to play in the American East if they have Big East talent.
Taking that a step forward, is it worth it for a school like Hofstra or Wagner to overpay in the NIL to obtain an outstanding player?? Would the chance for an Automatic bid and the payout from the NCAA be worth the gamble??Not many Players will take more to play in the American East if they have Big East talent.
You guys said the same about EHE and Bediako as I recall!
Good question. I don't know. But I do think, as I posted in another thread, schools like Hofstra, Wagner, Iona etc should be aggressively targeting high 3 stars and 4 stars they probably never would have wasted time on previously. Let the sell be we will give you big minutes off the bat and develop you and if you get a nice payday down the road you want to chase, have at it.Taking that a step forward, is it worth it for a school like Hofstra or Wagner to overpay in the NIL to obtain an outstanding player??

Well he did say he doesn't want to be contacted, so either that or Sha convinced him in the handshake line. LOLAvila has a unique skill set, if Holloway thinks he can get him to play defense I’m sure he’d kick the tires…. But Comon we all know he’s going to SLU
While I think they want to bury us, the league wasn't what it usually is. The metrics were skewed because we had one team that was 20 points better than anyone else on an average night. We also had 2 very good teams in MU and CU. As I said we'd have a legitimate beef if we were like Oklahoma where 180 brackets had them in. We were in 13 of 226. Anyone want to look into the backgrounds of the 213 people who didn't have us in?The football schools want to bury TBEC. How can you recruit if you don’t get an invite.? How do you pay the bills without the revenue from the tournament? How do you hire great coaches if there’s no where to go? I think you just saw a small glimpse of what is going to happen. And our commissioner doesn’t seem to mind.
You adapt or die.Between high school recruiting and transfers I don't know how these coaches do it.
They are living is total chaos
While it's chaos my bet is it's easier to sleep at night. You're not dealing with tons of sleezy middle men trying to make money off a player because you can actually pay the player now.Between high school recruiting and transfers I don't know how these coaches do it.

Unless the handler is the “agent”.Maybe I'm missing it but I don't see anyone grabbing this players uncle or high school coach to be part of the staff. Agents, runners, etc that's the kids problem not so much the coach. Coaches can tell you we have X number from our collective available, the player can take it or leave it. The coach doesn't have to bow down to those middle men to sway a kid, the money is doing that.
