What happened to Newark's Greg Avery? He went from Western Carolina to the University of Findlay. Where is he now? He was a great high school player at Newark where he lead them to the state title in 2008.

From what I know he is still at UF.

They were good this year but very young playing multiple freshman.

I live in Newark and the last I heard he was still at Findlay.

Avery is not listed on the current Findlay Roster/website?? Maybe just a clerical mistake? That's one of the reasons for the query?

He is no longer attending Findlay. He has a young child and left WCU to be closer to the child and mother then left Findlay for the same reason.

That's a good reason.

I don't think he got the type of playing time that he thought he was going to get. UF had some talented freshman this year play some big minutes.

Just goes to show the level of play at UF. Many thought he would go in and be a star, but Findlay was probably as good as the team that he left at Western Carolina.

Dynasty - Saw U of F play a few times this past year (3 times) and Avery got very little, if any, play time. I could tell from the warm-ups and his body language that he was "not into it". Not surprised at all by this departure, It's a mistake many D-1 transfers make when transitioning into a "lower" program - thinking it will be easy when in-fact it's very hard. Upper tier D-2 programs like Findlay are just as good and in many cases better than many lower tier D-1 programs. Avery was a tremendous high school player - I hope he continues his education, graduates and moves well into his career.

He is enrolled at OSU-Newark at the present time.

Good to see he is still continuing his education.
