Adonis DelaRosa - C - Christ The King - New York, NY - ST. JOHN'S

Does he wear glasses? LOL 

@ctkcoachjarbs: Jim Larrañaga just offered Adonis Delarosa. He now holds offers from St. John's Fordham Hofstra South Carolina and Miami. Congrats

I see two legit targets in Delarosa and Henderson.  Lav actually said 3-4 which scares me a bit.

Do you have a particular one or two guys that are scaring you? Or just scared in general?

I always fear losing Jordan, with family needs.  Branch, with his 12 minutes a game too often, comes to mind as well. That said, this would be JB's second transfer & he only has year left. Know you directed this to Moose, but thought I'd chime in.

Hopefully nobody moves on.

Obviously some are more important than others.  The soon to be seniors aren't going anywhere.  Or the redshirts.  I just don't like the turnover.  Turnover is expected but we have been experiencing too much IMO and APR looms.

Agree.  Only one we could lose is Rysheed, but I think he could really use one more year.  He'd enter NBA as a first rounder next year.  Draft isn't as strong as this year and Rysheed will be a year better and stronger.

thanks for link harkless

Had a quiet 1st half. Picked up 2 fouls in the 1st qtr, played most of the 2nd with those 2 fouls but wasnt involved much. A bit too much of an up and down game for him.

Watching Loughlin and it upsets me that we didnt really put in an effort for Mike Williams. Hes going to be a great 4 year player for Rutgers

Bad first half for Adonis missing a couple of easy ones but has a few rebounds, CK leads at half though .

We would basically have to abandon  a zone when Delarosa comes into the game.   Him rotating to cover someone could take 5mins.   

15 boards in win. Game was a little quick for him on offensive end.

He finished with 10 and 15, grabbed huge boards down the stretch. CK wins the city chip again! Yay! (Class of '07)

Finished with 15 rebs. Had a couple big rebounds and a big putback late, but not his best game because Alkins and Atson took over.

If he does commit here people are going to have to be patient with him. He won't be a force in his freshman year like many of Lav's other guys but he will have a nice career if he puts the work in

@AdamZagoria: 6-11 Adonis Delarosa Says He’s Wide Open: Lists Miami, Georgetown, Purdue, St. John's, South Carolina among others http://t.co/5IAT12ukdM

He will get a ton more mobile with hard work and conditioning.  Like I said, remember Roy Hibbert his freshman season.  He was glued to the floor and ran the court like Delarosa.  He lost a ton of weight and got in tons better shape and became a very good player.

An article on Hibbert which has some common issues as Delarosa has..

Having watched Delarosa play several times this he's only going to get in better shape on a college program and he's got a nice skillset down low. His rebounding alone is much needed for this team and add his scoring and he'd be a nice pickup. The Johnnies need one or two big 6'10, 6'11 guys.

Teams with bigs are backing Obekpa down.  Won't be able to do that with Adonis.  Like I said, I really hope he buys in if we do land him.  He has a ton of work yet to do.  I saw an article which lists him at 267.  No way is he 267.  He's still near 300 with his frame.

Agree completely. The lack of bulk at the center spot has been an Achilles heel for us all season. Adding Delarosa, even if he plays sparingly at first, would certainly help change that, especially with Gift gone.
