Having eaten my fair share of McDonald’s, I can attest that it doesn’t make you stronger.
Robbie Avila - 2022 Offer/Visit
- Thread starter SFspidur
- Start date
However, it might make you tougher to move out of position when you are on defense...
Interview with Robbie. Had some generically nice things to say about us, but when asked which schools are recruiting him hardest, he didn’t mention us.
2022 Robbie Avila earns new offer; Big-10 school showing interest as well as others
Phenom Hoops continues to bring you content surrounding the recruitment of players around the country. Continuing to look at the Meanstreets program, Phenom got in touch with a forward that has been catching the attention of a few schools that have offered and other high-major programs in 2022...

Loyola coach "we have big plans for you taking over for Cam." Mooney "we have big plans for you taking over for Grant"
Robbie parents, "God forbid we don't need you looking like a terrorist"
The kid might never pan out in college but if Loyola offers no way RU gets him. Just kidding! And I was going to post that 100% b-ball was UR's flagship sport. Sadly they don't have one, an academic school that plays lots of sports. The HIGHER-UPS are the culprits for the non-exposure!

definitely a good program, but you've got to ask yourself "do I want to wear maroon uni's for 4 years"?

Let's see, recent sweet sixteen and final four visits or our decade of deficiency.
that's a tough call
that's a tough call
well yeah, if he can go back in time he'd choose Loyola.
past performance is no guarantee of future success.

the mental gymnastics you Mooneyphiles put yourselves through must be really damaging to your psychological well-being
because I don't think choosing LUC over UR would be a slam dunk for everyone?
sorry for having a different opinion than you. I'd choose UR.
Just took a little jab at UR but no doubt I rather reside in Richmond than Chicago for 4 years. My post was more aimed at UR HIGHER UPS sitting still and letting it seems PQ and his money dictate the direction of UR basketball. I guess having 1B+ endowment gives you less worries about sports recognition? Unfortunately us b-ball junies concerned with UR basketball think we're the majority but we're not.
not firing the coach doesn't mean we're not invested. last year we had a great team. things didn't go as well as we hoped but it was a strange year. the year before was also a great team. we just didn't get a chance to finish it.
the roster is strong. recruiting is strong. this isn't a rebuild. we can be great this year. I don't get the doom and gloom.

We did beat them last year, so at least we can come at him with that reality.
Very solid program in his backyard...I would expect him to pick them over us.
Wildcard is the departure of Moser. Can they sustain success under Valentine? They're certainly hoping to maintain status quo by promoting from within.
Chris Knight, Saint Thomas...would not be at all surprised if Avila makes it a trifecta of guys we recruited who end up there.

it wouldn't be surprising. close to home might be big. and if he's Catholic and wants a Catholic school ... then it's a no brainer. looks like the only 5 on their roster was a walk on.
Avila is headed to Richmond for an official visit this weekend!
I like this kids game but he really needs to hit the weight room if he is going to be an impactful player at the high D-1 level.
he's projectable. he's just finishing HS junior year. if he was ripped and more explosive, we probably wouldn't be in the discussion.
Very true. But from his perspective, if he put some muscle on, his options might open a bit more.
I guess SIU can't splurge on a background for their shots. +1 for our photography/graphic skills.
But with the white background, you can put him anywhere you want in the midwest/plains environment.

If he can shoot and rebound, the answer is yes. As long as he doesn't call us VCU, I am good. With our lack of success for the last 10 years or so, it is understandable that young people have no knowledge of our fine university!
We are a top academic university who will soon get back to the NCAAs. This kid could be a solid piece for us. I have not seen a school with nearly as much to offer as UR yet.
Well, he could lead Indiana St to a 33-0 record and an NCAA Final appearance.
Oh yeah, been there done that...
Quick interview with Robbie…talks a little about his three visits so far and seems very positive about UR. Probably looking to sign in the fall, but also waiting to see how things develop.
Mooney's clearly gotten to him already..."We didn't get the wins, but our team competed."

yet another school that I would have guessed their MBB arena held less than half of what it does
