He moves very well for his size. Slide him right into the Vander Plas role...

Lithuanian wing Lukas Gudavicius (Avon Old Farms/Avon, Conn.) has been in the United States for about a month, but during that month the 6-foot-8 2022 recruit has already started to generate attention on the recruiting trail. Gudavicious has played well for the Connecticut-based NE6 squad of the Under Armour Association during two live July events and subsequently picked up offers from Maryland, Seton Hall, Ohio and several mid-majors.
The above is a snippet from a Maryland fan page... Notice how they mentioned Ohio by name and didn't lump us in as a mid-major... I guess that means we are a high-major now!

I expect more high-majors offers are coming... Boals is going big on this one!

Verbal to Bethune Cookman. That's a weird one.

DAMN! Would have loved to have met him. I'm an American "Litvak" (Jewish Lithuanian) who grew up in the town next to Avon, Ct. where Lukas plays at Avon Old Farms, a private men's boarding school.

It's a D II school in Daytona Beach, Florida. Odd he would commit there but I digress.

Kind of off topic but after looking up Bethune Cookman they have a 98% acceptance rate with a 35% graduation rate…

Yikes. However he decided to go there, don’t think academics played a role.

Or maybe academics played a big role.

Can’t imagine who’d want to go to college in Daytona Beach, though.

Probably. I just looked at the school and they are a D1 SWAC conference team. They have never made the big dance in their history and seem to be a consistent mediocre team.
