Recent TJ follow, sharpshooting fundamentally sound kid, moves well. Ton of potential:

Solid prospect from a good, disciplined program. Very good stroke for big man. Would've rather grabbed his '19 teammate Freemantle but Zona has good upside too.

Three star recruit with offers from Brown, Hofstra and Robert Morris. I'd say we have a puncher's chance.

Other board claims Rutgers has been after him for a while. Don't know about his recruiting though.

That is one big kid
*wipes ketchup from his eyes* - I guess Heinz sight isn’t 20/20.

Great size and shooting stroke. I would take a flier on this kid.

Bergen went to the TOC final this year and were ranked top 5 in the state. Furthermore they typically are a top 10-20 team in NJ so they are a good program. They are not a great bball program but no one ever said that.

Like I said I would've rather had his one year older teammate but that's water under the bridge now. That said Zona's had a lot of experience playing against good competition in HS and he's only getting better. Again no one said he's a high level D1 prospect at this point. But he's got some tools like good size and stroke that in the right system he could be a solid contributor even at this level.
