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

Why is everyone acting like this kid Roberts is the next Kevin Garnett? He's good but not even a four star recruit. Seen him play and he isn't as good as Burrell in high school. If he wants to go let him go.

Agreed, If Greenberg comes here, he has a 4 star player for '10 and '11, I'd rather have those guys than Ron.

I like Ron as a player and definitely think he has some pretty good potential. I'd prefer he stays in the program than having an open scholarship. He can be a good player.

he is pretty good , yes. But I have read some posts that he is a future pro, Norm's best recruit ever etc... He is neither of the two. I would not mind having an open scholarship to tell you the truth. The focus should be for 2011 anyway. That is the most important recruiting year in St. John's History to be honest, and they must make the tournament next year. New coach has to make his stamp.

Theyll already have 9 scholarships for 2011

Roberts won the slam dunk competition in south jersey

Watch the schools line up for him if he ends up getting his release.

Have you ever seen him play a game for St. Peter's..?

I don't care what team he made...

#1. he plays with a certified chucker in Miles Davis so that factors into numbers.
#2. the kid is still developing and growing, only his second year of super competetive hoops
#3. according to his coach he works and works to get better and has fantastic attitude

I will go with my eyes telling me the truth over what Hoop Scoop ranking has to say.

 PMG-  is Ron going to open up his recruiting again?  Or will he wait to see who is brought in as coach?  thanks..

PMG-  is Ron going to open up his recruiting again?  Or will he wait to see who is brought in as coach?  thanks..

Ron signed a LOI, so St. John's has to let him re-open his recruiting.  He will wait and see who the new coach is.

Think Ron wants to come play for Lavin?

  Can't see why not.

They're not required to release him.  But it would be the right thing to do if he doesn't want to come here anymore.  it would look bad on the school as well so most schools release their players.

Did Ron Roberts actually choose to come to SJU because of Norm Roberts?
If that's the case, and he wants to leave, let him.

No they don't.

I know they don't have to Dave.  I was trying to state that St. John's would have to be the one to let him out of the LOI and that Ron can't be the one to backout.  Rereading it I can see how it was confusing.

I have been out of the loop the last few days , I had back surgery..  I made some calls today to see what the deal was with Roberts now but nothing back yet.

Ouch. Hope you're recuperating well.
