Exactly the time when I lived in Waco and went there about once a week with a buddy from work. You got what you paid for...

Back to basketball- I see Vila playing the 3 or 4. Even though he doesn't seem physical, he is a matchup nightmare if you put like a Miller-type guy on him.

Just from the first few minutes from the posted video- I saw the ability to take it to the hole, shoot threes or pull up for the medium range shot (a lost art among American youth). Granted, that was probably some of the best basketball he has ever played, but exciting nevertheless.

Maybe it's premature but this is the most excited I've been about the future of Aggie basketball since Billy Clyde left

Mike often has some good insight, but I also noticed that 12th Man article posted on the other thread:

http://12thman.com/news/2016/6/2/mens-basketball-aggie-basketball-adds-spanish-forward-eric-vila.aspx

That is official confirmation today that Vila boarded the plane. We got him for sure if they are putting that official announcement out. good deal. He is a good looking prospect.

Watch the dribble drive and assist at about 2:50. Looks like a Kevin Durant cross over.

We're going to have scorers, and we're going to have depth. Will we have good chemistry? Will players find and accept roles? Will we play defense? It's gonna be fun to watch this team develop.

I'm not worried about a Kennedy team playing defense...

"I want to do my best, improve in offense and defense and especially improve physically to adjust my game better. " -Villa

The physical part of his game needs some weight. I'm glad he recognizes that weakness and wants to fix it.

Very glad he made the decision to come over to US to play college ball for A&M. Had to be a tough decision for a young kid and I hope it works out well for him.
