Ron Roberts - F - St. Peters Prep - Jersey City, NJ - ST. JOSEPH'S

I caught High School Weekly on MSG last night, and Mike Quick had highlights of the PC/St Peters game. There were four plays from Roberts. One was a monster put back dunk off a missed 3 pointer, another was a off board and stickback dunk, another dunk and the last one he beat his man off the dribble baseline and made a fingerroll layup.

Tough to judge from that but he looked VERY athletic and has a good frame

They put the episode online.  Video is a little choppy though.  Game highlights start about the 1:10 mark of part 1.

Yea the dunks were impressive I like how he hits the offensive glass hard. He was also doing that against some pretty good competition too.

Nice game vs top competition. Kid can play.

The extension on that dunk was NIIIICE.

The St. Peter's Prep vs. St. Anthony's game will be airing on MSG Sunday, Jan. 17 at   9:00 a.m.

St. Peters might win that game. St. Anthony has not been at full strength all year.

Roberts a very steady player, 20 and 11 rebounds in limited time.

16 points/10 rebounds for Roberts in blowout. Myles Davis had 13 points in his return from a concussion. Big measuring stick game coming up with St. Anthony. It will be interesting to see Collier vs. Roberts.

One of the comments was:

"Interesting timing for this article after the abrupt transfer of one of his top players...no mention of that. Damage control?"

Anyone know who the player is?

Ronald Roberts had 17 points in an overtime loss to St. Anthony the game is currently airing on MSG right now.

anybody watch any of the game?

I DVR'd it but haven't gotten around to it yet.

i noticed the announcers say he's grown to 6'9". 

Did he look that big to you? It's huge for us if he is really that tall. I'd play him at center and just run on people all day. Hopefully Norm's replacement would do the same thing.

This kid a 3 or 4?

From the brief highlights and from what I've read, he looks like a faceup-four.  He actually might be a kid that can bounce it 2-3 times and flush ala Hakim Warrick at Syracuse.  Hopefully he embraces the position like Warrick and doesn't try to force himself to be a three.

Well at least we know he likes to throw it down....

He is #24 normally but in the video it looks like he is #5...not sure though.

he wore #5 against st anthony's.  he looked kind of light to dominate at the four...but he may still be growing and won't be putting on muscle for a while.

Looks like he will fit in at St John's. He missed free throws at the end of the game

A lot of those guys are skinny. I saw Michael Gilchrist over the weekend and he's a twig yet he's the #1 player in the country. I'd look more at his shoulders to see if his frame could add more weight. Did you go to the game?
