Eric Vila 6'11 PF 2016 Offered to Texas A&M

[Shock Top]

This would be a nice get.

[Kel Varnsen]

Very inquisitive.

I see what you did there.

Very inquisitive.

No one expected that.

Class of 2016 Eric Vila ('98) is visiting Texas A&M, Wake Forest, Wichita State, Houston and Utah during this week. 6'9 Forward from Spain.

Must be spring break where he's from. That's quite a collection of programs and levels of accomplishment. Once again, prepare for head-counting hysteria if he somehow ends up at WSU.

After watching the video, he's definitely got the shot fake down. I wonder if he can dunk the ball, though. Nice height, nice shot, but he seems very soft.

I don't care how skilled, I never want a post player that catches unguarded in the post and lays it off the glass again. No disrespect to Stutz, Carter, Grady, etc... You play 4 or 5 and you catch it under the basket you flush that shizz! If you don't have the ups for a dunk with no run out you need to play somewhere else.

[Cdizzle]

I'd take another Stutz any time we can find one.

If we can get other post players of the quality of the three you mentioned, I don't care how they shoot/dunk the ball.

Quality person, but I would have to pass. I'll take 6'8"-6'9" guys that can move.

Seems like a talent, but an odd fit playing angry, it seems to me

I wouldn't mind seeing another 7 foot Garrett Stutz in the paint at the Chuck, but I'm pretty sure I don't want to see a 6'9" (probably 6'8") Garrett Stutz. The thing is, I don't see anything in the tiny bit of video I've seen that makes me think he's even as good as a short version of Stutz.

Not sure what this means for WSU
Spanish prospect Eric Vila is in the process of taking college visits.

Yup...still not seeing it. Originally, I read that we would also be one of his visits. Maybe he decided (or it was decided for him) not to come here.

Looks more like a tall (very tall) 3

Agreed. Either way, not losing sleep over this one.
