Not too concerned about 250 - 260 as long as he's in decent shape. But for every 1/8 th of an inch he's below 6' 11' I'll be very pissed.

Wow, someone needs some perspective.  :idiot2:

And someone needs a sense of humor.

It's a running joke on this site about lack of 7 footers and/or guys who consistently measure  1 or 2 inches below their reported height. But as an interloper you wouldn't know that.

Wow, someone needs some perspective.  :idiot2:

Man CR and his tangents ;)

I am all for taking risks but I don't know if we are there with scholarship distribution yet.

Certainly wasn't thinking for this class.   But we definately lose Orlando, Gift and Marco after next season.  Very likely Jakarr and possibly D'Lo.   So at least 4 rides and possibly 5,  with a core of Jordan, Green, Branch, Pointer, Balamou, Obekpa, Hooper, and Jones  back for 2015.  We'll need bigs anyway - if we get an elite big, that would be terrific.  But if not, more than willing for Steve to take an end of the bench roster spot flyer on a Ryan Hollins or Mike Fey.   In his 9 years as a head coach Steve Lavin has only signed 4 scholarship players over 6'9 - Dan Gadzuric, Jerome Moiso, Ryan Hollins and Mike Fey.  Gadzuric and Moiso were elite, early contributors.  Hollins and Fey were "sleeper" project guys, who developed over time in the program.   All but Fey were NBA players, Fey was a 15/8 guy in the NBDL, with a real nice Euro career.

Now here was a guy who was worth reading.  It's interesting reading the first few pages of posts on the early recruitment of this kid.  Would people say he had a better senior season than expected?  He did go out as a champ.

It's days like these where I miss CR the most.

Yes.  The JJ board "shrapnel" would be flying around, and CR would post and reign it in with some facts and solid conjecture.  I can only wonder how he would have found some factual support to provide Lavs as he's been under JJ "siege" since the end of the season ending NIT loss.

Today at Jordan regional game;

@CNG_Staszewski: Samson Usilo has 12 points, Khadeen Carrington 9 and Adonis Delarosa seven as their team trails 47-42 at the half at the Jordan Classic.

@DelarosaJoey: Adonis putting people in the blender with these post moves ..... THATS WHAT WE LIKE @philgreene31 @adelarosa0920

@NJHoops: St. John's bound Adonis De La Rosa has gotten much more aggressive & polished since we last saw him in AAU play

@AdamZagoria: #Sjubb bound  @adelarosa0920  with 12 and 7 for White.

BTW-Does anyone know if Adonis has signed his NLI?  Trust me I am not insinuating that he is not fully committed (he is) just wondering because at this point he can.

Is his brother definitely on the team? He mentioned how him and Joey will be battling with Obekpa?

Saw him being interviewed on Brooklyn 12 sports. Says he's glad Opekpa decided to return and is looking forward to playing with him. Says he could teach Obekpa some moves around the basket and he can learn how to block and defend from Opekpa. Seems like a nice kid.

Delarosa has a long way to go, but I'm still happy to have a true big body on the team.  Not sure what his brother can offer, but still nice to have some size to plant inside.

Now that recent SAT score results are out, can we expect Adonis to formally commit to SJU or did I miss something? Perhaps it is not a score issue, but curious why his commitment has not been finalized.
