Prep notes: Volcano Vista's Aguino stacks new offers

Volcano Vista senior-to-be Kenyon Aguino has added a pair of Division I offers in the last week, from North Dakota and Northern Colorado.

The 6-foot-7 power forward is up to six D1 offers, including New Mexico State, San Jose State, Cal Poly, and Cal State-Northridge.

Aguino said he doesn’t yet have a schedule to make any official visits, though he expects to once the next school year begins.

Aguino plays with the ABC Prep club team, Spotlight, a group that includes now former Atrisco Heritage guard Latavious Morris and recently graduated Cleveland High guard Daniel Steverson.

But Aguino said he has no plans to jump ship from the high school ranks, as Morris and Los Lunas’ Jalin Holland have in recent weeks, to finish out his senior season at a prep school.

Aguino said he’ll be back at Volcano Vista as the Hawks attempt a super rare four-peat in Class 5A.

“Just because of the program we’ve built, and being a part of that these last three years,” he said.

But Aguino said part of him understood why some of his peers have left.

“Everybody’s needs … are different,” he said. “Everyone needs to do what is best for them.”

But he will miss seeing them next season.

“Playing against them these last three years was always great competition,” Aguino said. “I’m gonna miss those battles with them.”

Aguino will spend June with his Volcano Vista team before getting back into the club schedule in July.

Meanwhile, Aguino’s Volcano Vista teammate, David Lunn, who just completed a terrific freshman campaign, earlier this week received his second Division I offer, from West Virginia. He previously had one at Howard.

Lunn also has a football scholarship offer from Penn State.
