Others on Ayuso:

Scott M. Reid of the Orange County Register:  “Already one of the Pac – 10’s premier perimeter shooters, Ayuso has a chance to become one of the league’s leading scorers and top defensive stoppers”.

 Scott Wolf of the Los Angeles Daily News:  “Ayuso is the best shooter and possibly hardest worker on the team…and has lived up to his nickname of ‘El Rifle’, which he gained in his native Puerto Rico.”

 Henry Bibby on Ayuso:  “Larry is a very good defensive player with good foot-speed and quickness.  He’s a solid outside shooter who can help stretch the defense.  As one of only two seniors, I expect Larry to take a leadership role this year.  He’s been to the NCAA Tournament and knows what it takes to get there.”

 New Mexico J. C. 1995-96:  Ayuso averaged 10.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 1.2 steals per game as a freshman at New Mexico Junior College in Hobbs, New Mexico.  Ayuso led the Thunderbirds to a 24-11 record and the NJCAA Region 5 Championship.  Ayuso, a noted catch-and-shoot three point gunner, was 58-of-153 (39.9%) from the arc and earned team Defensive Player of the Year honors.  He played in all 35 of the Thunderbirds’ games and scored 367 points in 665 minutes.  Ayuso also was included in Bob Gibbons’ “All Star Sports” list of top freshmen college guards.
