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

no, i watched on television.

a kid who is presumably 6'9" and growing is probably going to put on weight...especially at a program like st john's where everyone looks pretty cut.

yes, he missed key free throws that could have put the game out of reach.  they were up by ten with a couple of minutes to play...

poor coaching.  there's no shot clock in new jersey...but st peters insisted on running.

Just watched it. There's no way he's 6'9". I think the announcer just made a mistake. He's 6'6" at best.

There go my dreams of an athletic monster patrolling the middle.

Back to praying Ryan Rhoomes comes aboard and dominates in prep school.

Rhoomes isn't that big either and he isn't as good as Roberts.

I thought Rhoomes was 6'9". Please tell me he's at least 6'8" and growing...

I figured Rhoomes wasn't as good, hence the hope that the prep year would work wonders for him.

Another nice game by Ron and Myles Davis. Appears opposition was poor. Note Myles had 11 assists. Is that a need of ours? (:

rhoomes is 6'8 roberts is like 6'6 maybe 6'7

Ronald Roberts, 6’7 2010 210lb PF, is a St John’s signee. Roberts has great length, is athletic, smooth and very light on his feet. He has a nice touch and can stretch the defense with his shot. St John’s got a nice prospect that could develop into a very solid player in the Big East.

25 points/12 rebounds for Roberts. Myles Davis did not play.

See latest on Ron Roberts, 23 points and 18 rebounds. Not the best compettition, but note his 11 free throws, goes to the rack and makes them. I think we have ousrselves a diamond in the rough. Hopefully someone can develop him, a big if!

Nice win for St. Peters over Oak Hill! 22 for Roberts and 33 for Myles Davis, who is on fire. Note Doron Lamb had great game for Oak Hill. Nice to see Roberts have a solid game against good competition.

We'll have more on this game sometime today or tomorrow. Ron Roberts is real deal.

Dave,
Any sense we are still in the game for Myles Davis?

I was there and will have a writeup later today or tomorrow.  Let's just say this was in my top 5 HS basketball games I've ever been to.  Doron Lamb had an unrivaled individual performance and Ron Roberts might be the best recruit Norm has gotten thus far.

I have been told that Ron Roberts will DEFINITELY re-open his recuiting if Norm Roberts is not back as coach next season.

Didn't he sign an LOI, though?  They don't have to let him out. (Though it's bad practice not to). 

That is always a possibility, but the right new coach's background and track record can trump that. You can't be held hostage. IF Norm is not the right guy, my opinion is take the risk.

I have been told that Ron Roberts will DEFINITELY re-open his recuiting if Norm Roberts is not back as coach next season.

I like that the kid is being loyal to Norm.

let him walk.  we can't take another six years of being insignificant.


 

the school would probably let him out.

however, if we do fire norm, i would HOPE that ron roberts would at least wait to see and meet the new coach before making his decision to leave.  ya never know, he may like him.

wouldnt blame him for jetting, though.
