October, 2009: Ron Roberts could be one of the best unsigned 2010 bigs in the East. The long 6'6 Roberts plays with a great deal of energy and aggressive play makes him a terrific rebounder. Although he is very effective around the basket; finishing plays and scoring put backs, Roberts demonstrated...

I guess you don't have an insider account, huh?

haha...no

Who is this guy?  Anyone seen him play?

At least he's more of a post-playing tweener than a perimeter tweener.  Interesting pickup... can he score?

Also, he's a teammate of 4-star recruit Myles Davis: Myles Davis Bio And AAU teammate of Myles Mack...

HMMMM

If you have a Rivals account: http://basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=979645

Indiana was apparently on him.

""We sat down just last week to talk about what is so exciting about Indiana because now he has offers from just about everybody in the Big East," said Kelly. "Has offers from the Atlantic 10, the Big Ten and Maryland. He is just infatuated with the history of Indiana and that kind of shocked me because I didn't know what he knew of Indiana. He is really, really excited that they are recruiting him hard."

When Peegs.com got the chance to see Roberts in Las Vegas last month, the New Jersey native was impressive as a shot blocker and rebounder inside and showed solid perimeter skills as well.

"I think he is being recruited as an athletic four that can score inside and outside," said Kelly. "That gives coaches more of an opportunity to utilize his abilities in the paint. His strength -- we are pretty heavy into our strength and conditioning and he is becoming one of our strongest guys."

He talked about his developing perimeter game.

"365 days ago he shot line drives at the front of the rim," said Kelly. "He didn't really know how to hold the ball. It is all work in progress but his perimeter game has really stepped up. Having the god given tools and the athletic ability and couple that with being our hardest working guy--the sky is the limit for him.""

Sounds interesting.

Welcome to Queens Ron!

Welcome to Queens, but it really doesn't sound like he had any other OFFERS from bigtime schools, just interest. 

And unless I'm mistaken, this was SJU's only scholarship for 2010 to give away.

I'm sure they can make room for someone.

Unless Mase gets a 6th year.

Some more on Ron Roberts...

LOL they always do "make room"

Just to put another spin on this:

He's been labeled as a project with a ton of upside.  He's going to need to piece it together by the time his sophomore season rolls around because this team will REALLY need him in the 2011-2012 season.

There is the quote from Peter's post
"We sat down just last week to talk about what is so exciting about Indiana because now he has offers from just about everybody in the Big East"

And Rivals shows Rutgers and Temple offering.

Scout shows Penn State offering, with a lot of big time schools interested....Maryland, Pittsburgh, Indiana, Villanova.

he is good. saw him play twice. what is more important is that u got a kid from jimmy salmons. and that might be huge.

Kob is on my level of thinking. I mentioned that in my report of the signing this could open a lot of opportunities.

How good is his HS/AAU teammate Myles?

very, VERY good.  Both Myles' (Mack and Davis) are high major game changers.
