Julius Avent, who visited Xavier over the weekend, SAYS HE will announce his college choice on Wednesday. He goes to the same school where Fremantle went. He was down to MSU and X, where he visited, and Seton Hall where his dad went. He has not visited the Hall, and also did not visit Providence, which he was scheduled to visit.
A lot of noise about the Hall and MSU, but I think it was down to MSU and X because of his visits. Avent is a four-star power forward prospect in the 2026 class who has been a priority target for the Spartans, and Isso has been making a full-court press. Avent has a recruiting rating of 97.21 on the 247Sports' composite and is the No. 77 overall prospect in the class. He is the No. 13 power forward in the class. He is also listed as the No. 2 player from New Jersey.
Other schools that offered were Penn State, Mississippi State, Villanova, Washington and George Washington.
Cross fingers because it would be big to beat out Isso.
I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, of course not. I said, well, I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can't trust em.
