Brimming with potential, Team SCAN’s Larrier landing college offers

Every few hours this weekend, it seemed, Terrence (Munch) Williams pulled Terry Larrier aside to offer his player good news.

It began Thursday when The Bronx native and Team SCAN wing picked up a scholarship offer form Delaware, to go along with existing ones from Siena, Fairfield, Fordham, Monmouth and Drexel. Then came Florida International and Sacred Heart Friday night followed by Iona on Sunday.

“It was really excited, they came so fast,” recalled Larrier. “I’m just blessed.”

After an up-and-down junior year for John F. Kennedy, in which he averaged eight points and five rebounds per game, Larrier’s stock has shot up on the AAU circuit with top-ranked SCAN’s 16U team.

The 6-foot-6 wing, who has reclassified to the Class of 2014 and will attend Bronx Catholic school Our Savior Lutheran in the fall, made the underclassman all-star game at Hoop Group Elite Camp and helped SCAN repeat as Hall of Fame National Invitational champions on Sunday in Springfield, Mass., the powerhouse program’s ninth title this AAU season.

At Kennedy, Larrier often hung around the 3-point line hoisting up long jump shots. He’s become more versatile of late, developing a difficult-to-defend running jumper, banging inside despite his lithe frame and improving his ball handling. He’s also become one of SCAN’s top defensive players, Williams said.

“His upside is one of the better upsides in New York City for rising juniors,” Williams said. “He’ll be a monster, depending on what level [he goes to].”

Larrier credits his improvement to joining SCAN back in September. He met Williams through a high school teammate and felt the program would do wonders for him, as much off the court as on it. Williams has noticed a change in Larrier in the time he’s been with his organization. He’s become accountable for himself, staying on top of his studies, arriving on time and giving full-out effort.

“It made me a better player,” Larrier said. “Coach ‘Munch’ taught me a lot of things about the game. He’s made everything much easier. We’re all close, it’s like a family.”

College coaches would like to have Larrier join their family. One coach recruiting Larrier likes his length defensively, described him as a “smart” and “smooth” player who played “within himself but can also make a big play.”

Another coach involved with Larrier said: “He has boatloads of potential. He has all the tools to be a pro wing.”

The coach did say Larrier needs to get stronger — he’s rail-thin — and develop a killer mentality.

“He reminds me of [Houston Rockets draft pick} Jeremy Lamb in that way,” the coach said.

Larrier’s mission this month wasn’t so much to add offers, but to show coaches what he is capable of. He admittedly didn’t have his best year for Kennedy. In discussing his goals for the live recruiting period, he didn’t mention scoring, but wanted to prove he can play inside as well as out, at both ends of the floor.

“I’m versatile,” he said. “I can be a guard and a forward.”

Larrier has the offers to prove it.
