Continuing my busy night, I got a chance to chat with Eloy Vargas on facebook. Eloy Vargas is a 6’11” center that plays at Miami Dade Community College. He transferred from Florida after 9 games into the season to play in Miami. Eloy was FCCAA All-State Team, Southern Conference Player of the Year and 1st Team All Southern Conference. He averaged 21.1 points and grabbed 14 rebounds a game. Eloy was nice enough to let me bug him while he was chilling on facebook to give me this chance to let the Nation of Blue learn a little bit about him.

Sounds like to me Eloy is going to be finished with his Associates Degree and ready to transfer to a Division 1 basketball program in the fall semester. I look forward to talking to Eloy again as he decides on a list of his college choices.
